ZX 100 Ski - 2025

Freeride skiing focuses on off-piste terrain, which includes unmarked and ungroomed areas like powder snow and natural features. Unlike traditional skiing that sticks to groomed trails, freeride skiers seek out challenging conditions and diverse landscapes, making it ideal for adventurous skiers looking to explore the backcountry.

The rocker/camber/rocker profile combines both rocker and camber shapes in a ski. The raised tips and tails (rocker) help with floatation in powder and make turning easier, while the camber in the middle provides excellent edge hold and responsiveness. This versatile design allows you to perform well in various snow conditions, enhancing your overall skiing experience.

Half-Cap Construction features a top layer that extends partially down the sides of the ski, which reduces weight and enhances maneuverability without sacrificing durability. This design allows for easier handling and improved performance, making it a great choice for skiers who want agility on the slopes.

A Sintered Base is made from densely packed particles, resulting in a durable and smooth surface that glides faster on snow. This type of base absorbs wax better, which means you can maintain your skis more easily and enjoy a quicker ride, especially in varied snow conditions.

Poplar is a lightweight wood that provides a good balance of strength and flexibility, while beech is denser and adds durability. Together, they create a core that is both strong and damp, helping to absorb vibrations and improve stability while skiing. This combination enhances your control and comfort on the slopes, making for a more enjoyable experience.

While freeride skis are designed for off-piste and varied terrain, many models are versatile enough to handle groomed trails as well. The rocker/camber/rocker profile allows for good performance on both types of terrain, so you can enjoy a mix of skiing experiences without needing separate skis for each style.
