Designed for newbie freeriders seeking comfort on groomed runs and ease in the backcountry. Reassuring, easy-to-handle, and forgiving, they are ideal for exploring backcountry on the edges of groomed slopes with the markers in sight, and then slowly going beyond.

Durability

The skis make contact with the ground near the tip and tail, while the waist (under the bindings) is slightly raised. The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip, and the more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.

What is a camber?

On a rocker ski, the tip and sometimes the heel come off the ground sooner than with a cambered ski.This moves the point of contact toward the centre of the ski. The surface of the skis in contact with the snow is shortened: they handle better and have more buoyancy on soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hardpack. The longer the rocker, the better the ski handles. 

What is a rocker?

Ready-to-use waxed, sharpened skis. Edges sharpened to 89°.
