Xplorer was introduced last year and became a hit because of its versatility. It’s the widest ski in the collection, but Xplorer also features titanium alloy beef up and a shapely sidecut so it will perform on hard snow as well as soft.

 

Paul Cunnius

“This is a very adaptable ski that uniquely combines it's sidecut radius with strength and varied flex. The result is a wide range of adaptability in all sizes of turns at a number of speeds for a ski this size. There is plenty of moderate performance as well as the strength and muscle when going fast. Feedback from the ski is smooth and stable, never jittery or unexpected. Small and big skiers alike will enjoy this everywhere in all conditions.”
