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 16.7-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.
A long 21.0-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
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 1,944 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 2,248 g it's a heavy ski built to stay planted and push through chop.
Float & width
At 105 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
At 112 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
