This iconic ski is the very same one that Jim Morrison rode down the Hornbein Couloir on Everest. Designed for playfulness and versatility, it has become a benchmark for high-mountain mobility, thanks to both its lightness and grip. With a slender tip and medium-width waist, its sidecut makes it highly dynamic during weight transfers and very stable when edging. Its responsive and consistent flex, 18-meter turning radius, lightweight design, and climbing skin system make it the new go-to choice for ski tourers who want a ski that’s just as effective on the ascent as it is on the descent.
