Skier Ability: Advanced to Expert: Skipping the blue runs to get to the black runs, but sometimes a little cautious when it gets very steep, or some hesitation when your buddy says, ''You just have to clear those rocks or else you're toast.'' Speed: Racer: Always pushing the limit of top speed, these skiers get in trouble from Ski Patrol on occasion, and are always the fastest skiers on the mountain. Sandwich 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.
Double Titanal Layering: This ski features two layers of Titanal metal alloy, one just above the base, one just below the topsheet. This gives the ski extra stiffness and strength while creating a dampening, or shock absorbing, effect to the ski. This is usually found in the highest grade of racing and competition level freeride skis.
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.
Klothoid Sidecut: This is a fancy term for a multi radius sidecut. What this means is there are different radii built into the sidecut of the ski that target different parts of the turn. A short radius near the tips helps with turn initiation, long radius underfoot for stability at speed in the middle of the turn, and a medium radius near the tail helps exit the turn and get into the next turn. What that means is turns are more fluid and easier. Smart FLF Rocker: Smart FLF rocker with moving contact points. When the skier weights the ski, the tip and tails rise up to give the same effect of mini-rocker, or early rise skis. But when unweighted and starting a turn, the full edge length helps grip on firmer snow, offering greater stability. Check out our video tab for more information. Die Cut Graphic: The base has a die cut graphic, which is made up of at least two different colors of base material, cut to different shapes to create a design or graphic. This base is popular because the graphics don't fade over time and just looks cool, even though there is no performance benefit to a die cut base.
