Full Description
At 127 and 109 mils respectively, the tip and tail are quite a bit wider than you would usually expect from an all-mountain ski that’s nearly 80 underfoot and this means that, unusually for an all-mountain ski, the No 6 has a quite short sidecut radius so is great for short turns on piste.
There’s no rocker for this ski which enhances piste performance – when the ski’s tipped over, the tip bites into the carve straight away while the wide tail helps hold the carve through the turn while the long effective edge provides grip and bite for stability at speed and precision carving.
Flow Ride Technology softens the tip by replacing part of the core material with an elastomer substance for easier turn initiation in softer snow and at slower speeds.

TOP TIP
Ski Servicing
Watch out for shops that cut corners – and costs – by hardly ever servicing their skis, or just giving them a quick wax. Unserviced or badly serviced skis can ruin your whole week. Why pay for substandard kit?
