Product Details
Shape
Amphibio Profile – Amphibio technology integrates rocker (outside edge) and camber (inside edge) into dedicated left and right skis. The cambered inside edge assures precision and edge grip, while the rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth edge-to-edge transitions.
Core
Power Wood Core – A ski core construction that combines poplar wood with vertically laminated reinforcements. This design enhances torsional stiffness, responsiveness, and edge grip, providing an even flex throughout the ski's length. The result is a lightweight yet powerful core that delivers stability and control across various terrains, making it ideal for all-mountain performance.

Additional Features
Powerline Technology – Strategically positioned layers of reinforcement placed lengthwise along the cambered inside edge of Amphibio Profile, creating a balance between torsional strength on the inside edge and forgiveness on the outside edge. The result is direct power transmission and stability for superior edge grip throughout the turn, with a smooth and easy to control feel of the outside edge for nimble maneuverability.

Terrain
Carving For those that like the classic feeling of laying a ski over on edge and arcing a perfect turn, carving skis are what you want. These skis have narrower waists and shorter turn radii for edge to edge quickness and responsive turn initiation and exit on groomed runs and hard pack. The beginner-intermediate skis in this category are designed to make learning how to turn as easy as going from pizza to French fries. 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.

Ability Level
Beginner-Intermediate Whether you’re new to the sport or working on linking smooth turns, you fall into this ability level. Typical beginner skis and snowboards are usually built with softer materials, narrower widths, and feature cap construction for an easy to turn, forgiving ride. Beginner-intermediate boots and bindings are also built for ease of use and progression, featuring softer flexes and in the case of ski bindings, quick and safe release from the ski in case of a fall.

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.
