Specs & what they mean

What the Arcade 78 Skis's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A short 11.0-meter radius with a wide, tapered tip makes for quick, easily-pivoted turns — it hooks into a turn fast and releases it just as readily.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a poplar pefc wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,400 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.

Float & width

At 78 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
