Laminates such as fbreglass or carbon-fbre are used to compliment the properties of the core material by increasing torsional strength, edge-grip and rebound.
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.
Updated for the 2016-17 season, the Soma is back and better than ever. Now featuring an ABS sandwich tip and tail and cap construction underfoot to increase durability and give the ski a responsive feel. A 90mm waist, slight rocker in the tip and tail, 2mm of camber underfoot and transition zone technology combined with dual-radius sidecut provide easy turn initiation and stability at high speeds when you just can't stay off those fresh lines of corduroy.
