Cap construction is slightly less expensive per ski, but complicated to setup. Still using wood cores, the cap technique removes the sidewall to save weight and materials. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
Used on our core and womens models, digital printing provides greater flexibility for designing complex graphics and requires no setup process, however the colours are not as bright or strong as the silkscreen method.
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.
Full length traditional camber gives control and stability on-piste.
From jibbing to jumping to chairlift dancing, you bring your A-Game to the hill everyday. Preferred ski of Olympian Devin Logan, the Ambit is the perfect freestyle ski with an 86mm waist, fully symmetrical sidecut, softer flex in the tip and tail with a solid flex underfoot - all to make it incredibly fun to ski in the park and playful around the piste.
