Recommended skis for park/tour/carving | Freeride model with high turn performance (waist width around 80mm to 90mm range)

The lineup includes an all-mountain model with high carving performance on ground, a park model, and a lightweight tour model.

Models with a waist width of around 80mm to less than 100mm are classified as the thinnest freeride models.

As a feature, as the width increases, the ability to respond to snow quality increases, so it can be said that it is ideal for people who want to ski in various situations, not just leveling. The 80mm level has high carving performance on level ground, and exhibits high running performance on rough terrain and bad snow.

Ideal for those who want to enjoy a variety of snow qualities throughout the season, beginners to freeride skiing, and those who mainly want to level the ground and enjoy powder. The 90mm range is characterized by a well-balanced high grip and excellent response to snow quality, and is suitable for those who want a freeride model with high performance on leveling, those who want to enjoy parks and pipes, and lightness and glide. For those looking for a good touring ski.
