Probably the best ski for the free-riders amongst you who want to ski tour but would rather ski on skis than toothpicks. The Altitrail Powder has all the lightweight attributes of the other Altitrail skis but with an 82 mm waist and wood core for tougher performance, more drive and bigger skiing [...]

The D-Stinct Limited is the most versatile and performance orientated ski of the D-Stinct range. With a very useable and versatile 75 mm side-cut this ski carves like a piste ski but can also give you a decent platform when there is some fresh snow or spring snow.
Very much like the excellent Tornado [...]

The 86 mm waist is adequate for most skiers, advanced or expert, in the majority of conditions in the back-country. Good levels [...]

Raving about the Contact Groove leads me on to the Contact 10. A slightly more versatile and all-mountain ski with its 72 mm underfoot. If you are after an adept carver but would like some versatility, as you would with an SUV then perhaps the ‘10 is a fraction more robust in [...]
Hmmm, I love these skis!! Super-smooth and the side-cut just arcs buttery short to medium turns on any groomed run. Although not the most aggressive of skis the Groove is adept in the hands of an expert or advanced skier. An extra-wide tip chomps into firm snow for some snappy arcs [...]
Sexy, quick and ultra-smooth piste-carvers, the Exclusive Sensations are pretty and also pretty useful. With a 69 mm waist they are by no means super-model skiing but this ski can switch from edge-to-edge quicker than most. If you love agile skis, with lots of life and a supple, fluid feel then the [...]
