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 loosens turn entry and lets the shovel pivot and smear when you want it looser.

Stability & dampness
Built without metal on an aspen veneer, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,560 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.

Float & width
At 90 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
