TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What are ski sidecuts?
The sidecuts correspond to the width of the tip (front of the ski) of the skate (middle of the ski) and the heel (back of the ski).
The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry.
The narrower the waist, the stronger the grip in hard snow. The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable in different snow conditions.
Profile : Rocker/Camber/Rocker, Twintip shape.
In 177 cm 139/115/134 mm, 16 m radius
In 186 cm 139/115/134 mm,17 m radius
Which skier are you?
If you are lucky enough to be able to choose the best days to go out or if you simply want wide playful skis, the Pow Chaser is for you. If for you the best days are on the snow in the forest, you will love the Pow Chaser. Designed for powder snow hunters who are always looking for the spot with the most recent big snowfall! You will see that this ski is designed for advanced freeriders with good fitness levels.
Description
With its generous width (115 mm) and long rockers, it is unsinkable and super fun. Its radius, longer than on the slash, and its profile lets the Pow chaser benefit from extremely good pivot to carve beautiful tracks. The only limit is to dare follow your imagination!

Choice guide
If you are a Freeriding beginner, the Rookie will be your ideal ski.
If you already enjoy off-piste skiing, your choice will be between the Patrol and the Slash.
The Patrol for those who love serious skis that grip and are versatile.
The Slash will be for those who prefer super playful skis.
Powder chasers will be delighted with Pow Chasers on their feet.
Structure
Light Woodcore Tec is a structure with a light wooden core (Palownia) reinforced with fibreglass for responsiveness and basalt fibres to cushion shocks.
The advantage of this construction? It’s particularly handy for use on all the little bumps for playing and jumping. It lets the ski be playful without sacrificing grip on groomed slopes.
Rubber tip and tail
The ski has a rubber insert on the tip and tail. This insert aims to cushion distortion and reduce vibrations caused by the Rockers.

What is the rocker?
On a "rocker" ski, the nose, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground much sooner than with a cambered ski. This moves the points of contact towards the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened: they have better handling and more buoyancy on soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
