Agent 4

Length:

The Agent 4 touring ski takes everything that makes its smaller siblings great, and elevates it into the realms of deep powder.

It features a lightweight core, 116mm waist, progressive shape, high-tech carbon weave, balanced flex, and enhanced rocker for unbeatable float, with camber for performance that doesn't end on-piste. The Elliptical Sidecut allows for a further forward mount, allowing greater expression amidst big arc turns on untouched mountain faces. Maintaining the uphill and downhill performance of the Agent family, this ski is the perfect tool for accessing the freeride powder lines of your dreams, on your own terms.

You'll love this ski if...

  • You want a fat free-touring ski that is also lightweight
  • You think light weight is important, but downhill performance and durability are better
  • You like to charge hard in variable snow
  • You want to float like a boat on the deepest days

Freeride flat tail
Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.

Agent 4 by Nate Lewis

"Fantastic ski for touring and guiding. Used this as my go to ski for full back country days this season in Japan. I found it was versatile for all conditions. The one thing I thought it lacked was a little bit of response in camber (quite a flat ski) I would’ve liked just a little bit more camber. Other than that it was fantastic. Currently in Kazakhstan skiing on them as a holiday post Japan guiding season. Doing awesome on them here big days on the glaciers. The weight is great for glaciers and the ski can handle all the variable snow."

— Nate L. (5/5)

Full gas, slash and smash! Yet somehow so easy!

"Still the greatest BC touring ski Ive ever owned. Ive been on it for 4 seasons now. I don't understand how it can charge SO HARD, yet turn so precise and easy in the tight stuff. The only reason I sometimes choose the Machine 4 is bc its a bit lighter for the big sun up to sun down missions. But when downhill smashing is the top priority its the Agent 4 all the way for me. Please dont change a thing!"

— Teague (5/5)

Amazing slackcountry ski

"Killer freeride ski. Mounted a pair of shifts on my Agent 4s and it rips, man. It's a lot of ski for long expeditions, but when the goal in mind is skiing as hard as possible these skis cant be beat."

— Chris T. (5/5)

Stout to smash, shaped to slash!

"My quintessential BEST SKI EVER. Zero excuses on this ski. It does everything. Stout enough to buff out frozen chunder and shaped to float and slash deep pow. Holds the line with full complement when I point it, yet somehow still turns on a dime in the tight gnar. Honestly the best ski I’ve ever had 28 years ski touring."

— Teague (5/5)

Perfection

"So nice to have a freeride ski that doesn't burn your legs up after two runs. Great to use as a boot pack option too!"

— Marco (5/5)
