SKI FLEET
- Volkl Revolt 121 - 177, 184, 191 - At 121mm underfoot with rocker in the tip and tail this is a playful, approachable ski for the deeper days. It is a burlier ski, as most Volkls are.
- Volkl 108s - 157, 165, 173, 181, 189 — 108 underfoot and just over 140 in the shovel, these skis have an awesome side cut. This allows the ski to turn with relative ease. Furthermore, they are an extremely gradual full-length rocker profile.
- Black Crows Nocta — 177, 185, 190 — The Nocta has been a staple in our fleet the last 3 seasons. Very similar in size and shape to the Volkl revolt makes it an awesome powder ski. They are lighter and have less camber underfoot than the Revolts which can really lend itself to skiing multiple days in a row.
- Blizzard Spur — 159, 169, 179, 189 — A big, traditional pow ski. It is a directional ski around 127 underfoot. Blizzard really makes a great ski. It is an awesome ski for those bluebird alpine days when you can really open them up and let the skis run. Can be challenging for some in the tight trees. Of course, it is great on the deeper days.
- Armada VJJ UL —165 —Very lightweight, super versatile ski @116 underfoot. The JJ is playful, forgiving and floats really well.
- K2 Pontoon — 169, 179, 189 - Arguably the most iconic heli ski of all time; “Unsinkable ships.” Without question, the most widely used ski in BC for heli and cat skiing operations. It is fat. Full rocker profile, soft wood core. A winning combination for deep days. Fat skis rock.
BINDINGS: The majority of our skis are mounted with Salomon Warden 13 bindings and some of our shorter skis are mounted with Warden 11s.
