The Shima is an all-mountain, powder ski with freeride characteristics, the ski of choice for intermediate female skiers looking to explore off piste and tackle technical terrain. Medium tip rocker, slight tail rocker, traditional camber under foot and a versatile 5-point sidecut make the Shima quick to maneuver yet stable at speed.
For the dedicated freestyle skier, the Ily offers a poplar and ash core, tip & tail rocker, 82mm waist and half-capped construction to create a durable, playful and versatile freestyle ski. Ride the Ily switch, over rails, in the pipe or dial in your jumps, the Ily is Olympian Dara Howell’s ski of choice.
For exploring on piste and off, the Dreamcatcher 75 and 85 are tools to adventure for beginner to intermediate riders. A smooth flex pattern, balanced sidecut profile and tip rocker carve up the groomers and take on the challenges of bumps and powder with ease. The Dreamcatcher 75 & 85 also appeals to the rental market.
