The read

The Declivity X 102 is a freeride ski built for all-terrain riding, rated for advanced to expert skiers. Its 102mm waist sits near the middle of the freeride category, and its rocker-camber-rocker profile aids float and turn initiation while retaining grip underfoot. The poplar wood core without metal keeps it lively and light-feeling, suiting a strong skier who wants a nimble, versatile tool across varied off-piste terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Declivity X 102's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 18.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a poplar wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 2,075 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 102 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
