Poplar is a softwood that saves weight and has absorbent qualities that increase the ski's dampness, while beech is a hardwood that provides strength and snap, for a playful, responsive ski.
Used on most of our skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
Blended transition zones" use complex curve geometries where both positive/negative sidecut and where rocker/camber meet to make turn initiation fluid yet the whole ski more stable and controllable in all conditions.
Turn the page, the next chapter of your skiing is here. With a versatile 106mm waist, the Chapter 106 is the one-ski quiver you've been waiting for to take you from pow to big lines with confidence. Transition zone technology allows for quick, fluid turns, whilst simultaneously adding stability and control when conditions get technical or tight. Full sandwich construction, a new poplar/beech core and micro-cap protection add to its strength and makes sure this ski outlasts even you.
