Head to head, by character

Each ski's own read, side by side — the same three things that define how it skis.
Turn & shape
A 14.8-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.
A long 20.0-meter radius is built for open, sweeping turns that want room to run; a moderate taper keeps the shovel engaged for hold at speed rather than quickness.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal on a tubelite woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,415 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.
Built without metal on a paulownia wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,500 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.
Float & width
At 93 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. An asymmetric rocker profile tunes float and grip differently at tip and tail.
At 92 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
