Full length sidewalls provide optimal power transmission for the length of the ski.
The sidewall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core. In combination with a more flexible, lighter wood built into the center of the sandwich core, this construction provides numerous advantages: the hardwood effects a higher power transmission, improves the edge grip and supports the edge against external forces, while the lighter softwood brings more agility, maneuverability, and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of ski stiffness and improved steering precision.
