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 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.
A 23.4-meter radius is a straight-line shape — it resists tight turns and is built to run long and fast, with a moderate taper that keeps the tip planted.
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 2,248 g it's a heavy ski built to stay planted and push through chop.
Built without metal on a lightweight multilayer wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,846 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Float & width
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.
At 112 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. A cambered profile holds a clean edge underfoot while the width carries the float.
