Scott
Men's Superguide 95
Scott’s updated Superguide 95 uses a carbon/aramid construction and elliptical profile to create a high-performing tour ski that is light on the way up and powerful on the way down. Slight tip rocker improves the handling, a 95mm waist provides all mountain stability and the new Dual Light Wood Core ensures response and energy without excess weight. Happy in any condition on any terrain, they’re an ideal choice for good skiers who love to head off the beaten track.
Blizzard
Men's Zero G 095
This new Zero G 95 takes everything good about the old model and builds on it to make what is possibly the most versatile touring andfreeskiingmodel you will find. The radius is longer to improve stability and the weight comes down slightly, which is impressive as it was already at the lighter end of the scale for this width of ski. Downhill performance still comfortably matches or beats its competitors. Tip and tail rocker and a 95mm waist ensure all conditions are dealt with equally well. Carbon Drive2.0 technology and a light paulownia wood core create a responsive, precise feel without being heavy.
Atomic
Men's Backland 100
The Backland 100 blurs the lines of freeride and backcountry, proving that you can have a lightweight ski that packs a punch. Even though the waist reads 100mm underfoot it feels manoeuvrable and playful, especially compared to similar models. It’s stable and locks into a carve nicely on hard snow. In variable and deep stuff the smoothness and stability created by the HRZN Tech tip and tail ensures
Black Crows
Men's Navis Freebird
The Black Crows Navis Freebird is a one of the newbreedof light skis that transcend Tour and Freeride categories. It has the right balance of float and manoeuvrability for playful descents, rigidity for grip, and weight saving to make ascents less punishing. The core is formed from lightweight woods wrapped up in a mix of fibreglass and carbon fibre to give the skis the power they need to deal with variable terrain. A must for adventurous skiers looking for something that excels in challenging conditions.
Salomon
Men's MTN Explore 95
Offering the perfect balance of downhill performance combined with climbing efficiency it’s easy to see why the MTN Explore 95 is so popular. The weight saving Koroyd tip and Carbon/Flax super fibres are combined with a 3D full woodcore and Spaceframe 2.0 wrap to give the ski power for charging on the way back down. MTN Rocker improves manoeuvrability and handling. It may not be the lightest Backcountry ski, but it certainly is one of the best skiing down the hill, whatever the conditions.
