With 118 mm underfoot, Faction's Prime 4.0 is the widest ski in the premium Prime series, a skis that doesn’t back down when facing the most challenging ascents or the gnarliest descents.
Developed in collaboration with Faction's ski designer Patrik Sannes, the Prime 4.0 has a progressive shape featuring a multi dimension sidecut, making it agile and effective in tight, technical zones, bags of fun in powder or chopped up snow and a total charger when ripping giant turns down big mountain faces. 
The Prime 4.0 sports a light yet strong hybrid core coupled with the ingenious use of textreme carbon which provides ridiculous amounts of torsional stability and edge grip for its weight.
Blessed with a massive 118mm underfoot, extended rocker tip and tail rocker for extra float and slashability, the Prime 4.0 is the tool of choice for riders like World Freewide Tour and UIAGM Mountain Guide Sam Anthamatten who are pushing the limits of steep skiing, taking their outdoor pursuits and styles of skiing to places and levels that didn’t seem possible.
Now it’s your turn...........

Features:

Extended Tip/Tail Rocker
Faction's Extended Rocker has 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.
Hybrid Core
Faction reinforce the super lightweight Balsa with robust Flax fibres plus Poplar strips creating a durable wood core that holds an edge like other skis twice its weight.
Textreme Carbon
Used in state of the art aeronautical engineering and deployed as a full layer of laminate in our skis. The weave is made up of thin strips that are resistant to even the smallest cracks and fissures - thinner, lighter and stronger than regular carbon.
Multi Dimension Sidecut
This manoeuvrable shape consists of a shorter radius underfoot, keeping the ski nimble on those steep and narrow entries, and longer radii blended out to the tip and tail that ensure a stable and surfy feel when you’re flying out the bottom.
Progressive Flat Tail
Stable to ski at high speeds, playful and easy to initiate turns at lower speeds – this shape exceeds expectations.

Faction's Dictator 4.0 is the widest ski in their Dictator freeride series and comes with a super generous 139-115-127 mm shape. Built for champagne powder and 50° slopes, the Dictator is a big mountain ski for fresh snow conditions. As solid as it is wide, the Dictator 4.0 comes packed with Dual Titanal Layers, a light yet strong poplar/paulownia fusion lite wood core, extended rocker and trimmed taper. The Dictator floats through fresh snow and crud like a boss, never flustered and taking control in all conditions. Dual radius sidecut and surf zone technology makes sure that these skis don't hook up at high speed, your turn in control and your speed fast.
The 115mm waist width gives you a boatful of float in the deep and chopped up snow as well as a whole load of landing gear when you decide to send it. 
Not a ski for every day, but te ski that you need to make the most of ideal powder conditions!!

Features:

Dual Radius Sidecut
In front of the binding, a shorter radius sidecut provides quick response and control for tighter turns while a longer radius in the tail keeps you stable, feeling solid when you’re charging.
The result is a ski that surfs seamlessly between different turn angles and never drags.
Fusion Light Core
A blend of poplar and paulownia results in a lightweight core with excellent responsiveness and rebound, complimenting and offsetting the two full layers of Titanal metal that Faction sandwich on either side of it.
Dual Titanal
Titanal is isotropic, meaning that it is equally strong in all directions. This means that the ski loves being on an edge, blasts through bumps and feels stable even in changeable snow, making it the perfect chassis for a holy grail, hard-charging freeride ski.
Surf Zones
Surf Zone tech unites Rocker and Tip Taper design to make sure these two key features work in harmony.
Rocker provides float and facilitates pivoting, while a Tapered Tip moves the widest part of the ski closer to the centre and removes unwanted hooking.
Freeride Flat Tail
Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.

By producing such light yet high performance skis it was obvious that skiers would be using DPS ski in the backcountry. For the Tour1 touring line DPS have taken their flagship models and given them a touring-specific construction so that what were already light skis are now even more effective backcountry tools. DPS's Tour1 skis are comparable in weight to the lightest backcountry-speciflc touring skis on Ihe market but offer superior, class-leadlng torsional stiffness, unmatched edge grip and dampening via the proprietary Tour1 aerospace carbon laminate. Why invest energy in long tours if you are forced to ride floppy touring skis that sap the performance and fun out of the descent? With the Tour1 you know that finally you have a touring ski that performs downhill.

For the Tour1 Wailer 99 DPS have taken the classic award winning Wailer 99mm underfoot shape and given it a touring-specific ultralight, torsionally responsive carbon laminate construction.
The result is the epitome of versatility: lightweight and energy-saving on the skin track and offering unmatched downhill performance in a touring ski.

Features:

Prepreg carbon / glass Tour1 laminate.
Full cap textured polyamide top.
Narrow profile Rockwell 48 edges.
Balsa core.
Fastest and hardest World Cup race bases.

A modern classic from Black Crows, the Orb was updated last season and stays unchanged for 2019. Black Crows know when to leave a winning formula alone.
One of our best selling skis for several years, the Orb has a super versatile 91 mm underfoot and medium 18 m radius. Already a great all mountain ski, last year Black Crows added two full length titanal plates to improve performance on piste and hard snow, and this already impressive all terrain ski  was made even better. Black Crows rather unjustly consider the Orb a "resort" ski but it's more of a hard charging all mountain ski, with a stiffer flex and less rocker than the all terrain Captis.
An energetic ski that likes going fast on and off piste, with sufficient width to be highly efficient in powder and variable snow conditions.

Julien Regnier says:
"With the addition of two titanal plates, this ski has evolved into a real beast. the new orb has great pop and is full of life - now it's your turn to take it out to play. "

The Scott Superguide series have been very popular models since they were introduced, lightweight modern touring skis with a balance between efficient climbing and downhill performance.
Scott's touring skis have always had a more American or Scandanavian influence and the Scott Superguide 88 is the narrowest in the series.
For many skiers in the more traditional alpine countries (Germany and Italy) and for the French CAFists this is already ridiculously wide !!
These skiers are missing a trick here, because the Superguide 88 has been one of TP's most popular skis for the last two winters.

The Scott Superguide 88 is remarkably light going up and confidently sound on the down. This ski features the same high-quality performance and construction as the Superguide 95, but on a narrower, nimbler width.
We consider 85-90 mm underfoot the ideal waist size for all round touring skis and the Superguide 88 fits bang in the middle here.
The Superguide 88 will no doubt be in big demand this winter and comes thoroughly recommended.

The MSRP for the Kastle Kastle TX 65 HP Ski is $1299.00 USD.

The TX65 is Kastle's first ski mountaineering race ski. Built with a very smooth and even flex, wide edges for durability, the TX65 has a 98.5-65-79.8 mm sidecut and weighs in at a very competitive 1380 g per pair.

The Kastle TX series are Kastle's ski touring skis. Introduced at the end of last season, the TX65 HP is their ultralight race and training specific skimo ski.
Even when producing a ski that is 200% dedicated to skimo racing, Kastle are careful to make sure that the TX65 HP has an ultralight but strong construction, and wide edges for durability. 
An excellent top quality skimo ski for advanced and expert competitors.

Kastle Pro Skimo racer Patrick Innerhofer says:
"The lightweight TX65 HP is an ideal partner in all my races. In ski mountaineering world cup, I need maximum stability combined with minimum weight, which is what the TX65 HP is all about. The dpwnhill perfomance is simple unbeatable and the weight of only 690 g per ski is unbelieveable."

Features:

Hollowtech
Key technology is unique to ski manufacturing. By removing unneeded layers in the front of the ski to make the ski lighter. This results in several advantages: the ski becomes up to 30 % damper, the ski feels more stable, edge-grip is more powerful, steering is more precise and the overall weight is reduced. Beginning this year, we are equipping all skis with the larger Hollowtech 2.0 — with the size of each Hollowtech adapted to individual model lines. A larger design for even better performance.
Woodcore
Each Kästle ski is built with the finest wood core, manufactured with precision to one-tenth of a millimeter. This allows Kastle to control the weight, responsiveness and dampening characteristics of the ski, resulting in a high-quality, durable product. The wood type, or combination of different woods, is individually catered to each model line, based on the ski‘s intended application.
Sandwich-Sidewall Construction
This design gives every Kästle Ski optimal flex and torsional rigidity, creating sensitive and direct power transmission and ensuring total control, even at high speed. For the TX98, the Semi-Cap Sandwich-Sidewall Construction is used, in which the top sheet protects the upper edge of the ski.
Elliptical radius
Each model is designed to have its own carving characteristics, which is based on the ski’s intended application, by adjusting the radius along the waist of the ski. The shape of the Elliptical Radius determines how quickly and aggressively the ski enters and exits a turn.
Graphite sinter base
Kästle uses uncompromisingly high-quality UHM Graphite Sintered Bases, these are used in racing. The result: excellent sliding and wax absorption properties in a durable, long lasting base.
Camber
With Low Camber, the ski center is slightly elevated and the contact points are moved toward the ski center. The effective edge is consequentially less, and the ski is more playful and forgiving.
Shovel and Tail
With the shovel and tail design, Kastle can refine the aggressiveness of skis. The Hook Free Shovel is a longer shovel that is often combined with Early or Progressive Rise. With this design the contact point to the snow is moved toward the center of the ski, thus ensuring a more forgiving and playful performance. The Hook Free Tail is often combined with Dual Rise and a longer tail, with the contact point being moved toward the center of the ski. The result is a forgiving, playful performance when exiting a turn.
Rise
With Rise technology, Kastle optimizes the shovel of the ski and control its float depending on the ski’s application. Progressive Rise optimizes float and easy turning in freeride and all-mountain freeride conditions. Dual Rise technology combined with an adapted Camber profile creates a ski which guarantees the best float, even in the deepest of snow, without losing responsiveness.
HP High Performance
Kästle HP are high performance models that allows skiers to reach and exceed their limits. We create unique constructions with additional titanium or carbon layers for the most demanding skiers. Connoisseurs recognize this setup by the HP emblem on the ski.

Technology

BIOkonic Technology
The K2 Alliance has always been at the forefront of developing the most badass women's specific skis and they've done it again with the latest collection incorporating the all-new BIOkonic Technology. The goal for the Alliance was the create a collection of skis designed from the ground up to specifically address the needs of female skiers of every level, type, and size; delivering the appropriate balance of performance attributes while maintaining accessibility for a wide group of skiers
The Alliance and R&D crew have taken a Women’s First Design approach to the development of BIOkonic technology. The concept is simple, taking the BIOlogical approach to how women ski. It doesn’t mean just taking a men’s ski and moving the mounting point forward; it’s a holistic approach to the overall design of the ski, matching the shape, flex profile and material distribution to the needs of female skiers. Moreover, BIOkonic technology allows us to optimize these attributes throughout all sizes of each model, ensuring that all women can benefit from BIOkonic.
They are taking it back to basics and delivering on what women want; an energetic and consistent feel coupled with performance and precision to ensure the ultimate skiing experience.

Nanolite Konic Technology
Konic Technology with Nanolite utilizes an ultra lightweight, low-density aerospace grade composite core that runs through the center and extremities of the ski, reinforced with dense wood core and metal laminates along the edges. The result is a lite, lively and powerful ski for on and off-trail skiing that retains a large sweet spot

Metal Laminate Construction
A metal laminate construction, denoted with “Ti” in the name, uses a sheet of Titanal above and below the core to give the ski a damp, precise and accurate feel.

Triaxally Braided Construction
K2’s patented Triaxial braiding process interlocks strands of fiberglass around a profiled core for increased torsional stiffness while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood cored ski.

Bioflex Konic Technology
Women's specific core integrated into the Konic Technology design, with a Bioflex (Aspen and Paulownia) wood along the perimeter of the ski and Nanolight composite through the center for reduced swing weight with a smooth flex profile. A 5% reduction in overall weight vs a tradition core yields a 15% reduction in swing weight.

Features:

Hollowtech
Kästle's patented, key technology is unique to ski manufacturing. By removing unneeded layers in the front of the ski to make the ski lighter, this results in several advantages: the ski becomes up to 30 % damper, the ski feels more stable, edge-grip is more powerful, steering is more precise and the overall weight is reduced. Beginning this year, Kästle are equipping all skis with the larger Hollowtech 2.0, with the size of each Hollowtech adapted to individual model lines. A larger design for even better performance.
Woodcore
Each Kästle ski is built with the finest wood core, manufactured with precision to one-tenth of a millimeter. This allows them to control the weight, responsiveness and dampening characteristics of the ski, resulting in a high-quality, durable product. The wood type, or combination of different woods, is individually catered to each model line, based on the ski‘s intended application. Kästle guarantee unique handling with outstanding performance.
