Ski Press World Inc. - SIA Day 1 - Index

has a 15/20 rocker, which is more relaxed than the Hellbent
(40/40). The new MissBehaved (130-98-118) is a women’s
fat twintip. Pep Fujas’ new ski, the Kung Fujas (125-95-120),
performs equally forwards or backwards, in the park or out of
the heli. The Disorderly (109-85-109) creates symmetry out
of chaos, offering complete balance regardless of direction.
Last year, VÖLKL introduced its first rockered ski, the
Katana. Then they set out to improve it. Their revelation was
an Elongated, Low-Profi le (ELP) that rises gradually in front
of the binding toe piece and behind the tail piece toward
the tip and tail of the ski. It preserves the speed control
of rocker without sacrifi cing hard snow performance and
provides enough height to fl oat through powder, but not
enough to compromise edge contact while turning. Volkl’s
new fat, symmetrical twintip Chopstick (148-128-148) and
its directional freeride Kuro (164-132-139) use ELP. Women
get two new skis, the backcountry jibbing Kiku (133-105-
124) and all-mountain twintip Cosmo (130-92-112).
HEAD’S Super Mojo 105 (130-104-121 at 181 cm) has
been a ski tester’s dream ski with a wide tip and tail profi
le that lets it bust through the toughest crud and deepest
powder as well as a super svelte sidecut that lets it carve on
a dime almost anywhere your customer wants to go. Proven
from Alaska to Aspen, the Mojo comes back this year with a
bomber carbon jacket and a new ultra- fast UHM base.
In the name of increased durability and backcountry performance,
FISCHER gives its entire Watea freeride line
I-beam construction, wood cores, vertical sidewalls and a
tail notch for climbing skins. The Villain Pro (112-82-112),
with 25-degree sidewalls, wood core and sandwich construction,
is added to the slopestyle collection. The Addict
Pro Team (110-78-103) is also added to the line at a parentfriendly
price of $295. ▼
