The read

The Pure Joy is a beginner-rated women's frontside piste ski built for on-snow learning and groomer confidence. Its 75mm waist sits near the middle of the piste cohort, and its turn radius is among the shortest in that group, supporting quick, nimble arcs. A lightweight build and short-radius sidecut make it approachable and easy to steer for skiers just developing their technique.

Specs & what they mean

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

Turn & shape

A 13.1-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

Stability & dampness

At 1,738 g it carries a moderate, manageable weight underfoot.

Float & width

At 75 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float.
