The integrated Rubber/Carbon stomp pad ensures durability, allowing it to withstand repeated impacts. Hand crafted in Austria with the finest, most durable materials and powered 100% by renewable energy, the Studio 2 offers long-lasting performance and sustainability. The Studio 2 belongs in your quiver for unparalleled true all-mountain versatility and quality.

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 - Boat Flex

Freestyle rocker is best complemented by solid, stiffer tips and tails, to help settle the skis and power through variable snow. Additionally, the stiff tips absorb more vibration when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch more flex underfoot and it allows the skis to load up and pop on request.

3 - Premium All-Mountain Freeride Twin Tip

The slightly skinnier tail and wider tip lead to superior downhill performance vs a symmetrical twin. Tip & tail height are identical, however, for optimal switch skiing. The generous rocker and modest camber lead to a wonderfully playful character, while the moderate taper and Elliptical Sidecut provide precise handling and carving.

Carbon Stringers

Between 8 and 12 stringers 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.

Poplar & Fiberglass Core

Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill. It's set between two layers of fiberglass for strength, rigidity and durability.

Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pads

A carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot adds strength where it matters most. In addition to protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so stomping landings feel better; both for you and your skis.
