The read

The Playmaker 91 is a twin-tip freeride ski built for resort-wide versatility, from groomers to off-piste terrain and the park. Its rocker-camber-rocker profile and carbon construction make it notably light and quick for its freeride category, leaning toward playful, surfy turn character over damp stability at speed. It suits an active skier who prioritizes maneuverability and creativity over raw power in variable snow.

Specs & what they mean

What the Playmaker 91's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 17.0-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 tubelite woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,490 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.

Float & width

At 91 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
