It features an overwhelming floating feeling in deep powder! Advanced technology also makes it easy to turn
With its extra-wide body providing overwhelming buoyancy, this ski offers effortless maneuverability in powder. It will be a reliable partner when you bravely tackle overhead powder.
In the past, skis in this class were developed as powder-only machines, and many models adopted a reverse camber (full rocker) without any camber. However, recently, there has been an increase in models with tip and tail rocker and camber in the center to improve turning performance. It
is not realistic to use reverse camber skis as all-around skis. Since you can't ski powder every day during the season, it is true that it is easier to use skis that have some versatility. Do you want to stick to powder performance above all else, or do you want to choose ease of use? Please think carefully before making your choice.
