The read

A freeride ski with a powder-bias intent, built for open-mountain charging and soft-snow surfing. Its titanal beam and heavier-than-most-freeride weight lean toward stability and composure at speed, while twin rocker and a poplar core keep it playful and willing to initiate turns. Best suited to a skier who drives hard through variable conditions and wants a damp, confident platform for big-mountain riding.

Specs & what they mean

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

Turn & shape

A 19.0-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

A titanal beam runs down the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,000 g there's real mass behind it.

Float & width

At 98 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
