Design details
- What are ski sidecuts?
The sidecuts correspond to the width of the tip, waist and tail. The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry. The narrower the waist, the stronger the grip in hard snow. The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable in different snow conditions.

- Which skier are you?

Designed for intermediate freeriders who do not necessarily have a lot of technical skill and are looking for a ski that floats, drifts, jumps, the Slash is for you.it is easy to manoeuvre, easy and playful. We have designed the Slash for intermediate freeriders seeking a playful ski to have fun during long days on the skis.
- Description
With a 17m radius, fairly short for a freeride ski, the Slash is ideal to play with all the small features that the mountain has to offer. It is shaped like a playful ski; the pronounced rocker, long and progressive, guarantee buoyancy and easy handling in powder snow.
- Choice guide
If you are a Freeriding beginner, the Rookie will be your ideal ski.If you already enjoy off-piste skiing, your choice will be between the Patrol and the Slash.The Patrol for those who love serious skis that grip and are versatile.The Slash is more for those who prefer super playful skis.Powder chasers will be delighted with Pow Chasers on their feet.
- Structure
Light Woodcore Tec is a structure with a light wooden core (Palownia) reinforced with fibreglass for responsiveness and basalt fibres to cushion shocks. The advantage of this construction? It’s particularly handy for use on all the little bumps for playing, jumping and slashing. It enables the ski to be relatively playful on all terrains and snow.
- Rubber tip and tail
The ski has a rubber insert on the tip and tail. This insert aims to cushion distortion and reduce vibrations caused by the Rockers.

What is the rocker?
- On a "rocker" ski, the nose, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground much sooner than with a cambered ski. This moves the points of contact towards the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened: they have better handling and more buoyancy on soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
