La Machine 3

€899.00

Length:

The La Machine 3 touring ski unlocks the broadest range of lightweight backcountry itineraries.

It is our 109mm-width option in the middle of our ultra-light carbon-loaded La Machine family. The La Machine 3 holds its own when conditions far off the grid can vary widely between floating in powder and navigating sharky hard-pack.

Its progressive, rockered shape allows for hook-free pivoting and surfing across any snow you may encounter on your ski-touring adventures, with minimal weight penalty.

You'll love this ski if...

  • You want extended tip and tail rocker for effortless turn initiation
  • You need a super-light free-touring ski for long expeditions
  • You need a floaty ski that easily surfs above variable snow conditions in the backcountry
  • You want a premium, carbon-loaded ski for torsional strength on the downhill, without the bulk

Extended tip & tail rocker
We employ Extended Rocker, a reverse camber shape in the tip and tails, which along with waist width, is the most important element in providing float in fresh snow. Extended rocker also makes pivoting and turn initiation easier and means you have less chance of catching an edge.
