The rocker profile and tip shape are combined into one progressively changing elliptical arc, which allows the tips to plane faster in powder, deflect less in variable snow, and helps the effective edge running within the rocker length to engage in a more natural, effortless way.
The sidecut consists of an elliptical arc that begins at boot center and gets progressively smaller as it extends toward the tip and tail of the ski, resulting in a ski that carves harder the more it is put on edge, yet remains stable when it is skied flat.
Based upon our most popular Kartel platform, the Jessie line returns as the playful standard for women's all mountain skis. Maintaining the same construction and durability as our men's line, the Jessie line remain a fun, confidence inspiring ride for strong women skiers.
Updated for 2019, the Jessie 96 has an updated width and sidecut design, resulting in a versatile, poppy option that does right by any all mountain skier. Elliptical rocker and our new Hybrid Sidecut offer smooth planing and a balanced turn initiation that engages harder the more you lean on it, while the smooth taper profile decreases hookiness and improves powder performance.
