Park & Pipe

The Prodigy Series: Playful and dynamic. Features a softer, wood-core flex pattern. They are incredibly damp, durable, and forgiving, making them the ultimate option for buttering rollers, learning new tricks, and hot-lapping the park with maximum fun.

The Studio Series: Precise and high-performance. Engineered for high-speed, high-consequence park and pipe riding. Built with carbon reinforcement and high-impact rubber-carbon stomp pads underfoot, they are stiffer and poppier than the Prodigy. Choose the Studio if you want relentless edge hold on icy pipe walls, minimal swing weight, and maximum stability on big features.

Freestyle skis are built around tricks, jumps, switch skiing, and a more playful feel. Freeride skis are built more around speed, stability, float, and skiing natural terrain off-piste.

So freestyle usually means more symmetrical twin tips, easier smearing, and a looser feel. Freeride usually means more directional shapes, more support in rough snow, and better performance when you’re charging through chop, steeps, or deeper conditions.

There’s definitely overlap though. Some skis sit right in the middle and blend both, especially all-mountain freestyle skis, like the Prodigy 2.

It depends on how much time you spend riding switch.

Symmetrical Twin: Studio 0 & Studio 1. The tip and tail are identical in width and taper, and the mounting point is dead-center. This means the ski behaves exactly the same way whether you are riding forward or switch. Choose this if you are highly focused on technical spin-ins/spin-outs, halfpipe riding, and want perfect balance in the air.

Directional Twin: Prodigy Series. The tip is slightly wider than the tail. It is optimized to carve, float, and drive forward with high performance, but the rockered tail still makes switch takeoffs and landings effortless. Choose this if you want a freestyle feel but still want to ski the rest of the mountain.

Because our Studio and Prodigy skis don't use restrictive binding plates, you have total freedom to mount your bindings wherever suits your riding style. However, we generally recommend two main mounting points for park and freestyle:

True Center (0mm): The go-to for symmetrical park skis like the Studio 0 and 1. It perfectly balances your swing weight for rails, spinning, and riding switch.

Progressive / Freestyle (-2cm to -4cm from center): The sweet spot for the Prodigy series. This stance keeps the ski incredibly playful and easy to spin in the park, while leaving just enough tip to float through fresh snow and crush all-mountain side-hits.

Go shorter (chin to nose height) if you are practicing technical spins, focusing on quick, tight maneuvers, or are a lighter rider. A shorter ski reduces swing weight, making it significantly easier to spin and maneuver.

Go longer (eye to top of head height) if you are hitting medium-to-large jump lines, riding the halfpipe, or taking the ski across the whole mountain. A longer ski gives you a larger landing platform and much more stability at high speeds.
