Coreupt 2012 Born to Drop Big Mountain Twin Tip Skis

Sale: $349.00
Retail: $649.00

Save 46%
The 2012 Born to Drops are big, rockered, backcountry-sidecountry-POWDER COUNTRY skis. We will call this an expert's only ski, but for its size its actually very very nimble, especially in the powder. These skis are so big and surfy that your skis will literally stay on top of powder and slush, making it easier to make turns in deep snow even while taking it slowly and cautiously. The BTDs don't have a very turny sidecut on groomers, but if you are the type of skier that is going to buy the Born To Drops, you probably don't have a whole ton of interest in the hardpack, or you're buying these as a powder-specific weapon in your arsenal.
Appropriate ability levels. The L9 Listers say: Powder Hound The L9 team says: Powder Hound Products Video

Discounted Ski Bindings: Lowest price and now discounteds bindings for these skis. Click the dropdown above but we have some awesome older binding models for 2012 skis only for a limited time. We aren't kidding.. check the first few binding options and don't dawdle supplies are limited.

Ideal Target Skier: Powder Hound: If you use your sick days only when it snows 12'' or more overnight and not when you're actually sick, this ski is probably for you. Powder Hounds are on the search for deep and untouched powder, and fat skis to ski it with.

Sandwich ConstructionSandwich Construction (SW): SW means that the sides of the skis are a vertical wall rather the rounded Cap construction found on most skis. Since none of the skis material needs to be exerting force maintaining shape at the edges, SW skis are stiffer than their Cap counterparts. Most people find SW skis to be damper, that is more glued to the snow, superior at high speed GS turns and top notch at busting through crud or choppy snow.


Wood Core: The standard core which has throughout time provided the best performance and durability. Each model may have it's own density level to help define flex and maximum speed but every wood core ski will be solid.


Tri-axial Fiberglass: A weave of fiberglass with three directional orientation provides excellent strength to weight ratio and better torsional stiffness as compared to bi-axial weaves.

Reinforced Binding Area: The mid-section of this ski has a reinforcing layer to help prevent binding screws from tearing out under extreme force. This allows for a lighter ski without loosing the strength underfoot.

Tip Rocker: This refers to the early rising of the tip to get the ski on top of the soft snow, rather than pushing through it. When the skis are held with the bases together, it will look like the tips are bent, and spread away from eachother. Tip rocker also helps skiers pivot the skis, making tight trees remarkably easy, and gives the ski a surf-like feel.

Tail Rocker: Just like Tip rocker, but in the tail, this feature allows the tails of the skis to release easier from the turn to give the skier the ability to turn the skis quicker in tight spots. It also allows skiers to dump speed by forcing the tails out and sliding sideways. The effective edge is reduced because of the tail rocker, so the skis will also be easier to control when forced to ski on the groomed slopes.

Extra Durable ABS Sidewalls: This sidewall material transfers energy to the edge extremely well, which results with better edge grip and control. It also helps the ski have a lively feel.

Twin tip skis: are where its at these days. Their versatility allows you to ski powder in the morning, bumps at midday, and session the park in the afternoon. The turned up tail is also optimal for skiing backwards (switch), but for most people, it just looks cool.
