Salomon 2012 Czar Twin Tip Powder Skis

Sale: $399.00
Retail: $750.00

Save 46%
Salomon's 2012 Czar brings to the table the same playful, accessible feel as previous incantations, which is a good thing, because Czars are awesome. The Czars feature a wood core, so they are by no means beginner skis, but the cap style construction (as opposed to sandwich/full sidewall which is stiffer) and the lack of metal in the core make this ski light and maneuverable for intermediates. The rockered shape helps keep the tips on top of the powder, which makes turning through the pow much easier, but the camber in the region under your binding is flat, which adds stability on hardpack snow. Not that you should be using these on hardpack very often, but hey, it happens, and these will do fine, just fine.

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.


Free L9 Poles: A little love from L9 to you in the form of a free composite Levelninesports.com ski pole. A comparable pole retails for $60 and we sell these for $24 normally. This free pole is for a few select skis as a little sweetener on the already lowest price.

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.

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.''


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.


Cap ConstructionCap Construction: The topsheet of this ski drapes over the edge to form a clean and rounded finish to the side of the ski. This style of construction adds some torsional rigidity, and helps reduce topsheet chipping when the skis hit each other.

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.

High Twin Tip Tail: The tails on these skis are lifted up as much as the tips, which helps when landing switch in powder, as well as skiing backwards in general.

VHMW base: Very High Molecular Weight base. This translates to a very dense, hard base. This type of base is used for race skis and high performance skis. However, this base material doesn't hold wax as well as the lesser expensive and more porous types, so waxing needs to be done a little more frequently.

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.

Extra Wide Edges: This ski employs thicker-than-average edges to hold up to the beating that you'll put them through.

Salomon Pulse Pad: A layer of rubber along the edges and in certain zones of the ski for a smoother ride and and improved snow contact.

Edge Armor: Fiber reinforcements in the edges that add durability and edge hold on hard pack.
