The read

A frontside-leaning all-mountain ski built for groomed slopes and their immediate surroundings, the Sato carries a medium 88 mm waist near the cohort midpoint and a longer-radius bias that favors sweeping arcs over quick pivots. Its rocker-camber-rocker profile and lighter-than-average weight make it nimble and easy to initiate turns, while the progressive flex supports playful, adaptable skiing without metal reinforcement. It suits skiers who enjoy carving groomers at a lively pace and occasionally venturing into softer or variable snow nearby.

Specs & what they mean

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

Turn & shape

A 17.0-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

Built without metal, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,650 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 88 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
