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.

Shape and Construction

1 - TOPSHEET

2 - BINDING PLATES

3 - FULL CARBON WEAVE

Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding bulk to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.

4 - Lightweight Karuba & Fiberglass Core

Karuba is an extremely lightweight wood with excellent strength properties. Karuba provides beautiful flex and vibration absorption without adding bulk, making it an ideal wood core for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill. It's set between two layers of fiberglass for strength, rigidity and durability.

5 - SINTERED BASE

1 - Elliptical Sidecut

Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radius in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions

2 - Mustache Flex

The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you.

3 - A Progressive Flat-Tail Shape and Profile

Tip and tail rocker + traditional camber, for the perfect blend of high performance edge hold, easy turn initiation, and float in soft snow. This ski combines the stability and drive of a flat tail with carefully tuned rocker that makes pivots and slashes intuitive.

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)
