A true all-rounder model that lets you enjoy everything from packed snow to powder
Models with a waist width of around 100mm are said to be the most versatile. Models with a waist width of around 105mm are particularly popular worldwide. They offer sufficient buoyancy in powder, high performance on rough slopes, and excellent grip on firm snow. They can be considered ideal all-mountain, all-round skis. As a
popular model, there is fierce competition among manufacturers in development, with the key being how to balance lightweight design with superior gliding performance. Manufacturers are using various ingenious methods in their lineups, such as using lightweight wood materials for the core and specially cut or thinned titanium, or light carbon materials for reinforcement.
