Intro
Designed by and for Jérémie Heitz, apparently this is the size most used by the Swiss superstar for his big mountain touring. These weapons feature a dual Paulownia and ash core with carbon-fiber reinforcement beneath a progressive layer of titanal for responsiveness on all terrains. Weight, agility and power are skillfully blended in a one-of-a-kind ski developed specifically to get up the hill quick to then ski alpine lines at high speed and get down the mountain along the most direct line possible.
On the snow
Despite the highly specific, ambitious objectives of this ski shaped to meet Jérémie's needs, it has also proven to be suited to a diverse range of skiers, thanks to its great skiability and the support it provides in most backcountry situations. This was achieved by uniting the solidity needed for big mountain skiing with an ultralight construction, which is evident as soon as you step into the bindings. Power combined with remarkable agility is what expert skiers like most about this ski that can take on any type of terrain without worrying about what might get in the way. The minimal sidecut enables you to ski straight without fear off sudden oversteer, and of course this setup favors mid-radius and wide turns over lots of tail wagging. It's compatible with various bindings, from low-tech pin bindings to step-ins or even a Cast system.
Lab
Very concave at tip and tail, not totally fixable after 9 runs through the tuning machine. Only roughened, not waxed. Good edges 2 x 1.6 mm at 89°, base edge only on one side. Too much edge at tip and tail, needs tuning.
