You want a super-stable ski that can also rip in the bumps. You want a ski that is easy to turn in all conditions. You are skiing almost 100% on the piste. POPLAR CORE – Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park. DUAL SPAN TITANAL – Titanal is a top-tier, sturdy metal alloy with isotropic strength, meaning it’s equally strong in all directions. This quality ensures skis that love being on edge, blasting through bumps, and staying stable in variable snow, making Titanal the ideal chassis for your dream freeride ski. RECYCLED MATERIALS – We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability. LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS – To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact. 1% FOR THE PLANET – As a proud partner of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of all sales of our Agent, La Machine and Dancer Series skis to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are committed to mitigating climate change. SUSTAINABLE WOOD CORES – Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances. 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY FACTORY – Our skis are crafted in a state-of-the-art facility powered entirely by renewable electricity and heated with biomass energy. By eliminating oil use, our production process cuts millions of kilograms of CO2 emissions annually. Eco-friendly performance with every run. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They’re built to last. FULL STRENGTH SIDEWALL – Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary. ELLIPTICAL SIDECUT – The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radii in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control. ANTI-CHIP MICRO-CAP – The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski’s tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain. MUSTACHE FLEX – The’Moustache Flex’ pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish. HIGH RESISTANCE TOPSHEET – We use the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse.
