We design our deep-snow weapons across four distinct families, tailored to different styles of shredding:

Studio: Premium freestyle precision. Stiff, carbon-reinforced twin-tips, built for riders who want high-speed stability to spin, stomp, and ski switch in bottomless powder. Pick the Studio 3 (112mm) or the Studio 4 (122mm waist).

Prodigy: Playful freestyle fun. Prodigy 3 (106mm waist) and Prodigy 4 (116mm waist) are surfy, highly rockered twin-tips made for buttering, slashing pillow lines, and treating the entire mountain like a playground.

Dancer TI: Aggressive big-mountain charger. Metal-backed flat-tail featuring dual Titanal sheets, the Dancer 106 TI is built to blast through heavy chop, hold a rock-solid edge, and charge high-speed lines.

La Machine: Ultralight backcountry surfers. Featherweight, carbon-loaded touring skis, the La Machine 3 (109mm waist) and La Machine 5 (126mm waist) are designed to save your legs on the ascent and offer effortless, smeary float on the descent.

As a rule of thumb, the wider the ski, the more effortlessly it floats and smears in deep snow; the narrower it is, the easier it will be to control when you have to ski back to the lift on hardpack.

100–109 mm: All-mountain powder crossovers. Ideal for regions with lighter or more sporadic storms, or for skiers who want a powder weapon that can double as a daily freeride ski.

110–119 mm: The gold standard for a dedicated powder ski. This width provides massive surface area to keep you effortlessly planing on top of deep snow, while remaining nimble enough to slash through tight trees, handle heavy coastal chop, and navigate technical backcountry terrain.

120+ mm: Maximum float. These are engineered purely for the deepest days of the year and heli-trips. They offer the absolute maximum surface area available, allowing you to surf, smear, and drift on top of bottomless powder fields without ever sinking the tips.

Powder is the more specialized deep-snow end of freeride.

Freeride skis are built for off-piste skiing in general, so they need to handle chop, steeps, mixed snow, and variable conditions. Powder skis are more focused on float and a surfier feel when the snow is deep, which usually means they’re wider and more specialized.
So if you want one ski for off-piste conditions overall, freeride makes more sense. If you’re chasing storm days and deep snow first, that’s where powder skis come in.

Yes, but they are not designed to carve high-speed corduroy.

Because of their ultra-wide waists and generous tip and tail rocker (which helps them float), they have a much shorter "effective edge" touching the snow on hardpack. This makes them feel loose, pivoty, and slower edge-to-edge on groomed trails. They will get you back to the chairlift just fine, but if you spend most of your day on the piste, you’ll want to look at our all-mountain lines.

Usually, yes. We recommend sizing up 5 to 10cm from your daily resort setup.

Powder skis feature a highly rockered tip and tail (which bends upward like a banana). Because of this design, the part of the ski that actually contacts the snow is much shorter than the physical length of the ski. Sizing up gives you the essential surface area you need to float effortlessly on top of deep snow instead of sinking into it, without making the ski feel too heavy to turn.
