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 13.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
A 17.6-meter radius leans toward longer turns, while a generous tip taper keeps the shovel easy to engage and release — a long-radius shape that doesn't feel locked in.
Stability & dampness
At 1,845 g it carries a moderate, manageable weight underfoot.
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 3,270 g it's a heavy ski built to stay planted and push through chop.
Float & width
At 74 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
At 76 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
