Description

A ski nimble enough to tour up 1,500 meters, but rugged enough for a FWT athlete/UIAGM guide like Sam Anthamatten to rip down the Matterhorn? Sounds like the holy grail. Introducing the Prime 4.0, designed alongside Sam, and made to conquer technical ascents and descents without compromise. Built with a lightweight hybrid balsa flax core, and layers of Textreme carbon along the length of the ski, the Prime 4.0 is exceptionally lightweight for a ski that floats in the freshies and powers through crud and debris. Features: – Hybrid balsa/flax core reinforces the lightweight, super strong Balsa with layers of robust flax fibers and you are left with a durable wood core that holds an edge like other skis twice its weight. – Microcap sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, adding durability to the fragile join that can be prone to chipping. – A shorter radius underfoot keeps the ski nimble on the steep and narrow, and a longer radii blended to the tips and tails ensure a stable and feel when you’re flying out the bottom. – Textreme carbon laminate layer spreads stability and stiffness across the whole width and length of the ski. – Titanal reinforcement plates laid up on top of the hybrid balsa/flax core ensures binding screws hold like nothing else and adds durability. – 2mm camber – Tip: 140mm – Waist: 118mm – Tail: 132mm – Radius: 26m (185cm model) – Weight: 1925g (185cm model) – Flex: 9/10
