GLOSSARY:
| All-Terrain rocker: | Designed for all snow conditions, featuring an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, and camber underfoot for power, energy and edge hold in firmer conditions. |
| Metal Laminate: | Consists of alternating layers of fibreglass and Titanal above and below the wood core. Provides damp, accurate, unshakable performance, ideal for expert level all-mountain skiers. |
| Aspen/Paulownia core: | Aspen is a solid and dense wood used for its strength and durability. Paulownia is an eco-friendly, fast-growing renewable wood that is incredibly strong and lightweight. |
| Hybritech sidewall: | A unique blend of sidewall and cap constructions. Combines the accuracy, power and performance of sidewall underfoot, w/the lightweight characteristics and smooth turn initiation of cap. |
| Progressive sidecut: | A combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhances the versatility of wider waisted skis by delivering more control and easier turn initiation. |
| MOD tech: | High performance suspension system that absorbs vibrations and impact loads along the entire ski, for stronger edge-hold and a higher degree of power and control. It is a secondary core that flexes and moves on top of the primary core without affecting the overall ski flex. |
| MOD Monic: | A focused mass-dampener. The Monic is a solid x-shaped zinc mass that works in conjunction w/MOD tech. |
