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?
If for you freeride isn't only about powder snow and you’re already at an intermediate freeride skiing level, the Patrol is your ski. Like the ski patrollers it is named after, the Patrol will support you in all the snow conditions. If like the ski patrol you don't want any doubt about your equipment when you put on your skis, you will enjoy the Patrol on all types of snow. It’s THE only pair of skis for an intermediate freerider.
Choice guide
If you are a beginner freeride skier then the Rookie is your 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.
Description
Grippy, stable and secure on hard snow, it has good buoyancy when the snow is softer, in powder or spring snow. The Patrol has directional shape, which enables good manoeuvrability in carved or drifted turns. The 19 m radius, neither to long or too short, enables you to vary the type of turn you use. The rockers are tight and low to enable good stability.

Structure
Woodcore Tec is a construction with a wooden core (poplar) and vertical edges.
The advantage of this construction? It gives the ski excellent rebound, particularly pleasant on powder snow. It lets you have a lively ski under your foot in powder snow without sacrificing any grip on groomed slopes.
Rubber tip
The ski has a rubber insert. This insert on the tip 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.
