K2 have got an all mountain twin tip for boys or girls. Juvy or Missy, 2 different models sharing the same great design and build. Duracap Construction keeps the weight down and makes them forgiving to ski whilst also enhancing durability. Catch-Free Rocker creates a gentle, gradual rise in the tip and tail promoting skiing in all conditions with effortless turn initiation at slow and moderate speeds.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes and parks, with the odd excursion off the sides of runs looking for more exciting terrain such as little tree runs with plenty of bumps and turns!Skier TypeYoung skiers who want a fun ski for hitting bumps, messing around on and turning smoothly on pistes. Maybe they want to start trying some freestyle or skiing backwards sometimes, or maybe they just want to play. Skiing just needs to be fun.OverviewShape72mm in the waist keeps the ski nimble and quick from edge-to-edge, with just enough width to explore too. The 8m (129cm) radius ensures it turns easily. The directional twin shape feels great when used switch.RockerCatch Free Rocker produces effortless turn initiation at slow and moderate speeds with a gentle, gradual rise in the tip and tail.CoreLight composite core to keep an easy flex and low weight.ConstructionDuracap uses a moulding process that envelopes the core and internal materials within the top layer of the ski. DuraCap skis are generally lighter overall, with enhanced durability and forgiveness.Key FeaturesSystem BindingUsing a system binding means that the binding can be adjusted to fit different boot sizes if feet grow or the ski is passed to a younger sibling, without the need for redrilling, it just slides, moves and clicks in to place.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)139General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Integrated, FDT 7.0 DIN: 2 - 7Construction: CapCore: CompositeDemo: No [Full Details]
For Armada, doing things differently has always been a core value and the Stranger is the latest example of this. The goal was straightforward. Build a 15m radius ski that can tackle groomers with friends, carve hard, trick around on and just have a good time. At 100mm underfoot, featuring a straight tapered edgeless butterzone in the tip and a rockered Springboard tail for endless wheelies and extra pop, the all new Stranger merges carving with freestyle and freeride attributes.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a blend of piste, all mountain, freeride and freestyle. It will carve on pistes and pop out of turns, It has the width to float if things get softer or deeper and it has the handling to be comfortable on any terrain. There's no metal so it isn't ultra stiff or precise, but what stiff skis can ollie or wheelie like a Stranger? It's a wide playful piste ski that loves to turn and it's a turny directional freestyle ski. It's what you make it.Skier TypeSkiers who want to have fun “ slashing, carving, popping, in any condition that the average resort throws up. Ability is less of factor, mindset is the key. It's just about having fun.OverviewShapeA long tapered nose combines rocker and an edgeless tip to produce smooth turn initiation and unflappable handling. It might be 100mm in the waist but the radius is still 15m so it will happily push out tight linked carves. It's aided by the springboard tail for extra energy and pop. The tips and tails are actually firmer than the middle section, helping the ski grip in and out of turn, with softness in the centre meaning it's easy to switch turn size and mix it up.RockerAR Freestyle Rocker uses rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so.CoreArmada's Poplar Ash Core uses lightweight poplar combined with higher density full-length ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting.ConstructionAR75 Sidewalls use a blend of sidewall and cap for the right mix of precision, forgiveness and durability. Cap in the tip and tail reduces the swing weight for quicker spins; sidewall underfoot improves the energy transfer.Key Featuresedgeless TipThe front of the ski uses a straight-tapered butterzone with the edge removed. No edge at the tip makes butters and presses cleaner and easier, as well as reducing the weight for smoother faster steering.2.5 Impact edgeOversized and specially heat treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.Springboard TailFor endless wheelies and extra pop.eB tester's comments: Steve (Buying Team) Loved this. Just a fun experience to ski around on, carving easily and wanting to pop and slash.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)17213810012015.2200018013910012115.82100General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: YesSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.

The arrival of the Pure Mission 98 Ti W means the Mission name is back, it’s better than ever and now it is available in a women's model. It’s an all mountain ski that has the width and stability for any condition whilst remaining excellent on piste. A titanal reinforcement underfoot and sandwich construction provide grip and performance; the paulownia and beech wood core and carbon stringers keep the manoeuvrable. This is a proper all mountain ski that you really can take anywhere.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a relatively wide all mountain ski that is still excellent on piste, a hard mix to achieve but Scott have pulled it off. On firm snow it has bite and grip thanks to the Titanal; the light weight and carbon ensures it feels lively and quick, especially for a ski this size. In choppy and heavy snow the shape and construction allow it to power through effortlessly. A proper all mountain ski that you can take anywhere.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want a relatively light ski but one that has the width and stability to power through variable and heavy snow. They’ll spend plenty of time on piste but need a ski for everything on the mountain. A great choice as a one-ski quiver seeing as it is so capable in so many environments.OverviewShapeInspired by Jeremie Heitz, the new Pure Freeride sidecuts provide both stability and manoeuvrability. Shorter radius in the front than on the back, with a long radius under the foot, make the ski agile in any conditions. 98mm underfoot with a 17m radius (168cm) keeps the Mission on the off-piste end of all mountain models with a relatively long radius and wide waist.RockerFreeride Tip and Tail Rocker. Having rocker in both the tip and tail allows for optimal float in deep snow and creates a playful ski, while traditional camber underfoot maintains edge hold and stability.CorePower Wood Core. The Full-Length Wood Core produces a more consistent ski flex and creates a homogeneous transition between middle part and rockered tip and tail. Paulownia is lightweight with great strength to weight; Beech adds strength and durability.ConstructionSandwich Sidewall Ti/Carbon. The ultimate ski construction for freeride performance. The full-length sidewall construction delivers precision and speed for effort transmission. The Titanal layer makes the ski ultra-stable for high-speed runs. The carbon brings lightness and comfort, for a perfect ski in any snow conditions.Key FeaturesTitanal reinforcementStability and performance are key on compact snow when the grip and the confidence in the skis are pushed to the limit. The titanal reinforcement makes the push on the edges quicker and more precise. The Scott titanal re-enforcement has a unique shape depending on the ski model to not compromise the natural flex and ski rebound. On the Mission it sits in the binding area, keeping maximum edge grip underfoot, whilst allowing the tip and tail more forgiving and lighter.Born and Nurtured in the AlpsThe Pure project is something special that Scott have been working on with leading freerider Jeremie Heitz. The Pure is equipped with a progressive titanal layer that harmonizes the flex and aids power transmission when coming out of a turn. At the same time, the ski delivers more stability, enabling you to hold your line while riding steep big-mountain lines. The Pure impresses with its light weight and performance, thanks to the dual-power wood core – a mix of paulownia wood and 2 beech stringers that cover the full length of the ski. The combination of paulownia and beech gives an extra edge when it comes to torsional stiffness. So, you can go all in on those high-speed runs, without any chattering skis.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1601329811816135016813398119171500General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

The Black Pearl has won our women's Overall Ski of the Year on multiple occassions and is considered to be the best-selling ski in the world, the model every brand aspires to. It's an all condition ski that is truly happy anywhere on the mountain, from smooth pistes to tricky off-piste runs, care-free cruising to fast, technical turns. The Flipcore WSD construction is the key, producing perfect handling and balance, boosting confidence and encouraging skiers to keep pushing themselves.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it the standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot isn't the choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. It also makes a surprisingly good choice for skiers who stay mainly on piste and will happily trade all-out piste perfomance for maxium stability and comfort whatever the snow.Skier TypeThis is one of the areas that makes the Black Pearl 88 such a special ski over all the previous seasons. It feels so good to a vast range of skiers from intermediates who want more confidence, to stronger advanced skiers who are already skiing the whole mountain comfortably. This universal appeal is the sign of a great ski.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. The turn radius of 15m (165cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot. The camber increases the carving character on groomed trails while the rocker at the extremities maintains floatation and ease of turning off the slopes.CoreLite Core is a wood core that is naturally strong but lightweight for maximum performance without added weight. A carbon layer adds stability keeping the overall weight less than similar models using metal sheets. The new TrueBlend W.S.D. design keeps it feeling powerful underfoot as well as smooth and controllable at the tip and tail.ConstructionSandwich Compound Sidewall uses the tried and tested traditional method for the best performance. This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlend W.S.D.TrueBlend W.S.D. (Women's Specific Design) uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise. In the area of the binding, layers of harder wood are incorporated and softer, lighter wood is used towards the tip and tail. This elaborate construction gives the core different areas of stiffness with precisely adjusted flex properties, which creates a more harmonious ride.Carbon Flipcore W.S.D.Built specifically for the women's models this method offers the perfect blend of light weight and high performance. A uni-directional carbon layer integrated into a light sandwich construction ensures lightness, stability, smooth flex and torsional rigidity for an all round versatile and confidence inspiring ride.eB tester’s comments: Ailsa (Fort William) This ski made me happy!

The Brahma 88 was the ellis Brigham Overall Ski of the Year last season and the only change for this year is a grahic update. 2 years ago it went through a major upgrade with a tweak to the shape and, more importantly, the addition of TrueBlend construction, elevating the performance to a new level. It's got all the power, grip and precision you'd expect, and the changes provide even better handling, with the initiation and completion phases becoming smoother and more intuitive; perfect improvements for skiing all conditions. It is oone of the finest examples of an all mountain ski on the market.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core, twin Titanal sheets and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it a standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot it isn't the right choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. The Brahma does actually ski softer snow suprisingly well compared to similar stiffer all mountain skis.Skier TypeThe Brahma 88 is a top choice for adventurous expert and advanced skiers, who like to go everywhere on the mountain and appreciate a ski with good grip and plenty of power. They'll already be skilled, though not necessarily great in all snow conditions, and will enjoy some speed.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the firm construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions.

This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlendTrueBlend uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise. In the area of the binding, layers of harder wood are incorporated and softer, lighter wood is used towards the tip and tail. This elaborate construction gives the core different areas of stiffness with precisely adjusted flex properties, which creates a more harmonious ride.Carbon FlipcoreA revolutionary rockered ski production that incorporates bi-directional carbon fibre in the tips and tails of the ski to stabilise the rockered areas, reducing weight and vibrations. This process delivers more precision and performance, creating a smoother, calmer ride in an easy to ski package. The result is a perfect combination of pressure distribution, floatation, power and stability.eB tester’s comments: Steve (Buying Team) The use of the TrueBlend has taken nothing off the top-end performance and added exactly the right amount of ease of use at the start and end of the turn.

The Brahma 88 was the ellis Brigham Overall Ski of the Year last season and the only change for this year is a grahic update. 2 years ago it went through a major upgrade with a tweak to the shape and, more importantly, the addition of TrueBlend construction, elevating the performance to a new level. It's got all the power, grip and precision you'd expect, and the changes provide even better handling, with the initiation and completion phases becoming smoother and more intuitive; perfect improvements for skiing all conditions. It is oone of the finest examples of an all mountain ski on the market.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core, twin Titanal sheets and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it a standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot it isn't the right choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. The Brahma does actually ski softer snow suprisingly well compared to similar stiffer all mountain skis.Skier TypeThe Brahma 88 is a top choice for adventurous expert and advanced skiers, who like to go everywhere on the mountain and appreciate a ski with good grip and plenty of power. They'll already be skilled, though not necessarily great in all snow conditions, and will enjoy some speed.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the firm construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. At 17.5m (183cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot.

The latest Blizzard Zero G 95 takes everything good about the old model and builds on it to make what is possibly the most versatile touring and freeskiing model you will find. The Carbon Drive 3.0 has been tweaked to create slightly less rigidity in the tip and tail to improve control, without affecting stability or weight which 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 Reinforcement and a light paulownia wood core create a responsive, precise feel without being heavy.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everything that you can climb up to, from flowing powder fields to steep, icy technical descents. 95mm in the waist is a good all-rounder, tip and tail rocker suits firm or soft snow and the Carbon Drive 3.0 Construction offers precision for firm conditions without over stiffening the ski.
