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.

The Wandering Spirit
On each Agent ski, Cody Cirillo's artwork of 'The Wandering Spirit' floats above the grid; a hallmark element of every printed map. When everything is in order, gear is dialed, and conditions are looking great, it leaves you wondering... What lies beyond the Grid?
