Which skier are you?
If for you freeriding isn't only about powder snow and you already have an intermediate Freeriding level, the Patrol is your ski. The Patrol is designed in the image of the ski patrol it is named after. It will be with you no matter what the conditions. If like the ski patrol you don't want any doubt about your equipment when you put on your skis, the Patrol will be fun no matter the conditions. It is THE standout pair for intermediate skiers.
Description:
Grippy, stable and secure on hard snow, it has good buoyancy when the snow is softer, in powder or spring snow. The Patrol has directional shape, which enables good manoeuvrability in carved or drifted turns. The 19 m radius, neither to long or too short, enables you to vary the type of turn you use. The rockers are tight and low to enable good stability.
In 165cm 136/95/118mm, r=15m
In 175cm 136/95/118mm, r=17.5m
Construction:
Woodcore Tec is a construction with a wooden core (poplar) and vertical edges. The advantage of this construction? It gives the ski excellent rebound, particularly pleasant on powder snow. It enables the ski to be playful underfoot in powder snow without sacrificing all grip on groomed slopes.
Tip rubber:
The ski has a rubber insert. This insert on the tip aims to cushion distortion and reduce vibrations caused by the Rockers.
Bindings:
Branded binding Tyrolia ATTACK² 11 AT DEMO , Din 3 to 11.
Compatibility with soles - Alpine, GripWalk, Touring, ISO: 5355A, 9523, 9523W, 9523 GripWalk
Suitable for all boots measuring between 259mm and 382mm.
The TYROLIA Attack² 11 AT DEMO is a demonstration and hire binding that is ideal thanks to the adjustment to a wide range of boot sizes without tools. They are reactive and robust, like all the other products in the Attack range,
Sturdiness:
Black sole for easier repairs.
Structured topsheet to best resist scratches and semi-cap to prevent scaling.
Metal reinforcement on the heel.
Preparation:
Ready-to-use waxed and sharpened skis. Edges sharpened at 89°.
What is a camber?
On a "rocker" ski, the nose, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground much sooner than with a cambered ski. This moves the points of contact towards the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened: they have better handling and more buoyancy on soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
What are ski sidecuts?
The sidecut is determined by 3 measurements: the width of the tip (front of the ski), the waist (middle of ski) and tail (back of ski). The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry. The narrower the waist, the stronger the grip in hard snow. The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable in different snow conditions. The wider the tail, the better the grip exiting the turn. The narrower the tail, the better the glide.

Choice guide:
If you are a Freeriding beginner, the Rookie will be your ski.
If you already enjoy off-piste skiing, your choice will be between the Patrol and the Slash.
The Patrol is for those who love serious skis that grip and are versatile, whereas the Slash is for those who prefer super-playful skis.
Powder chasers will be delighted with Pow Chasers on their feet.
