Product Info
G3 Zest Skis - Women's 2012: The G3 Zest Skis are G3’s most award winning ski for women who are looking for an all-terrain, all-conditions ski that offers stability and performance. The Zest’s 100mm underfoot platform combined with its early to tip rise, reduced camber and dual density sidewall, create an effortless, fun experience.
Product Details
Shape
Early Rise 1 camberline shape is G3’s basic early tip rise combined with just the right amount of camber underfoot. This is an easy initiation to the modern freeride feel of effortless floatation with a shorter running surface in firm snow and longer running surface in soft snow resulting in a more agile yet stable ski.
Variable q sidecut means a shorter turning radius in the front half of the ski and a longer turning radius in the rear. This makes for effortless turn initiation and a tail that allows you to modulate your turns and dump speed progressively.
Construction
Dual density ABS/TPU sidewall construction is comprised of 2 different densities of ABS and TPU so that the softer, lower layer acts as a shock absorption system while the harder, upper layer allows for direct energy transfer to ski edges.
Low mass tip geometry creates reduced tip flutter, high speed jitters and a more balanced swing weight
Flex
JoyRide construction: Poplar wood core has the best weight-to-strength ratio meaning relatively lightweight skis that are very durable
A 4 multi-axial fiberglass classic is G3’s original construction with 2 layers of multi-axial glass both above and below the wood core. This means reinforcement for loading from all directions for a more stable, solid ride. It is the dampest non-metallic construction available.
Dimensions
Radius ranges from 115-20m by size, 132/100/123mm (all sizes)
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width that is equal to the ski waist width and at most 15 mm wider.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Alpine Touring

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. 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.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.
- Turning Radius (m): 15-20m
- Core/Laminates: Wood
-
Tail Type:
Flat
More
Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
