Intro
Designed by and for Jérémie Heitz, it seems this is the width that the legendary Swiss freerider uses for big mountain touring. A real backcountry weapon, it has a paulownia/beech core reinforced with carbon fiber, layered with a progressive sheet of titanal, for lightning-quick response on all types of terrain. It's lightweight, agile and powerful—an unbeatable combination for a unique ski that has been specifically developed to climb then rip high altitude lines with as few turns as humanly possible.
On the snow
Despite the very specific (and ambitious) aims of this model crafted to Heitz's requirements, it turns out to be a ski with broad appeal thanks to its excellent skiability and unwavering support in most backcountry situations. The solidity necessary for big mountain skiing in this case is provided by an extremely lightweight construction, which you can feel as soon as you click into your bindings. Its power is complimented by impressive agility, two qualities that expert skiers will very much appreciate when they can plow through any type of terrain, regardless of potential obstacles. The minimal sidecut lets you point your skis straight down and go without fear of sudden oversteer, naturally favoring mid-radius and wide turns over lots of tail wagging. Where bindings are concerned, you have options; from low-tech pin bindings to step-ins, or even a CAST system.
Lab
