The read

The Anomaly 88 is a frontside-leaning all-mountain ski built for varied on- and off-piste terrain. Its double-titanal construction and weight heavier than most all-mountain skis in the catalog lean toward stability and composure in variable snow, while a rocker-camber-rocker profile aids turn initiation and versatility. A medium turn radius suits a range of arc sizes, rewarding a skier who drives a damp, substantial ski with confidence.

Specs & what they mean

What the Anomaly 88's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 16.5-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

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 2,020 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.

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.
