Our Progressive Flex Core™ features a trio of ash, basswood, and locust. Progressive Flex is the result of a thin strip of black locust wood in the waist of the ski that gradually widens towards the tip and tail, unlike traditional constant width sidewalls. This core produces a light ski with a responsive flex pattern optimized to keep edge hold strong by dampening vibration at the tip and tail. Ash underfoot helps drive the ski through each turn with stability and control.
Designed with freestyle progression in mind, the all-new Ballistic is primed to throw down everywhere from sidecountry lines to side hits to spring park laps. Light enough to spin and wide and damp enough to huck into powder, this model features the most tip and tail rocker of any ski other than our powder-specific Limit. Nearly a true twin, the Ballistic features a tiny bit of taper for stability when charging super-steep lines, but remains predictable while taking off or landing switch. The proprietary tip and tail shape reduces drag and weight, and helps break the snow’s surface tension to prevent submarining on deep landings. And of course, you still get our signature purple heart sidewalls for incredible strength, dampness, and edge grip.
