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. Edge Free Extremities: The tips and tails of ski were made without metal edges to lighten them up and provide more float, as well as giving them a more fluid ('surfy' would be the industry buzzword here) feel on turn initiation. This is a powder-specific technology.
 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 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.
Kinetic Core: Vertically laminated wood core with honeycomb inserts in the tip and tail to reduce swing weight and overall weight of the skis.  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 Wide Edges: This ski employs thicker-than-average edges to hold up to the beating that you'll put them through. Edge Armor: Fiber reinforcements in the edges that add durability and edge hold on hard pack. Salomon's TWIN Rocker: Of all of Salomon's rocker profiles, this one is the most rockered. Bent in both the tips and the tails, these skis provide maximum flotation in powder situations. On groomers, these will be surprisingly easy to manage, but at high speeds on hardpack, they will be squirrely. But people don't buy these to ski on hardpack so....
