Product Summary
The ski in details
As our technology has evolved over the years, the need for extremely narrow skis has dwindled and the desire for a wider ride has grown.
And while the Thunderbird R15 Wide Body is considered narrow compared to our all-mountain, freeride, and touring skis, it delivers a unique chance to carve groomers with a modern float like ever before. This new-age carving masterpiece has become a fast favorite in places where the snow falls fast, the conditions stay soft, but the groomers still call your name. So let’s experience longer, smoother turns through it all—with a thoughtful blend of poplar and beech wood that keep the ski stiff underfoot and soft in the tip and tail—smoothed out with the addition of carbon armor to dampen any vibrations. This is the Thunderbird of tomorrow. Let’s ride.

ACTIVE ARMOR
Active Armor is a vibration damping and rebound control system that is located under the binding. Inspired by the carbon armor from the Firebird collection, the plate is brought outside of the ski body which allows it to flex freely.
TRUEBLEND PISTE WOODCORE
The Trueblend Piste Woodcore is designed with a harder flex zone in the center, that provides stability and edge grip, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding that provides control, and a soft flex zone in the tip and tail that provides easy turn initiation and release.
DURAMAX
The top titanal layer is extended to the very edge of the ski and placed directly under the top foil which is then milled back 3 mm, thus exposing it.
