* A flagged radius is the underfoot figure from a multi-radius sidecut, measured differently than a single full-length radius — the positions are not strictly comparable.

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 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.
A three-radius sidecut blends a shorter radius at the tip and tail with a longer one underfoot, so turn shape changes with how hard the ski is driven — tighter entry, longer and steadier through the arc.
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 3,270 g it's a heavy ski built to stay planted and push through chop.
Built without metal on a multilayer woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. Even without metal, 2,910 g gives it a planted, substantial feel underfoot.
Float & width
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.
At 78 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.

* The two skis may measure turn radius differently. A multi-radius sidecut publishes a separate radius per section; the figure shown is the underfoot radius, which reads tighter than the ski's real all-mountain turn shape. We show each as published rather than forcing a false match.
