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 16.0-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 14.7-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.
Stability & dampness
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 1,750 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.
Built without metal on a karuba wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,655 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Float & width
At 90 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness.
At 91 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.
