Black Diamond AMPerage Skis 2012: The Black Diamond AMPerage Skis are hybrid skiing at its best and inspired from big-mountain powder lines, technical freeride comp skiing and everything in between. The AMPerage has a deep sidecut, 115mm waist, full tip and tail rocker, and underfoot camber for a floaty ski that is as comfortable sending backcountry booters as it is smearing through windbuff or arcing on groomers. One-ski quiver? The AMPerage skis know how to make that challenge a reality.

Specs

Terrain: All-Mountain, Powder, Alpine Touring More

Terrain

All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.
Skis: No Bindings
Ability Level: Advanced-Expert More

Ability Level

Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker More

Rocker Type

Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
Turning Radius (m): 21m @ 175cm
Turning Radius: Medium More

Turning Radius

Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
Core/Laminates: Wood
Tail Type: Full Twin Tip More

Tail Type

Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
