The read

The Wailer 90 is a directional all-mountain ski built for varied terrain from groomers to trees and tight chutes. Its 90mm waist sits near the middle of the all-mountain cohort, carbon construction keeps weight near the cohort median, and a medium 15-meter radius with rocker and camber blends edge grip with easy turn initiation. It suits an active skier who wants one ski across mixed conditions without the bulk of a wider freeride platform.

Specs & what they mean

What the Wailer 90's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 15.0-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

Built without metal on a wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,753 g it stays light and maneuverable.

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.
