What are ski sidecuts?
The sidecuts correspond to the width of the tip, waist and tail.
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.

Which skier are you?
If for you freeriding combines speed and a high level of expert freeriding, the Patrol 95 TI is your ski. Like the ski patrol it is named after, the Patrol 95 TI will support you in all the snow conditions. If like the ski patrol, you don’t want to ask any questions when you put on your skis, the Patrol 95 Ti will be ideal in all snow. It is the pair of unique skis for powerful and committed skiers on and off the pistes.
Description
Grippy, stable and secure on hard snow, it maintains good buoyancy when the snow is softer. The Patrol has directional shape, which enables good manoeuvrability in carved or drifted turns. Its radius, which is neither too long nor too short, allows you to execute a variety of turns. The rockers are tight and low to enable good stability.
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 for those who love serious skis that grip and are versatile.
The Patrol TI 95 METAL EDITION is a special series of the Patrol with even higher performance!
The Slash will be for those who prefer super playful skis.
Powder chasers will be delighted with Pow Chasers on their feet.
Structure
If it shares the same sidecuts, the Patrol 95 has a all other motor! Its construction with a wood core (poplar) is boosted with 2 aluminium “Titanal” plates and vertical edges.
The advantage of this construction? It offers exceptional stability, particularly pleasant for powerful skiers who love speed. It allows you to have a ski under the foot in powder, while maintaining incredible stability in big turns.
Rubber tip
The ski has a rubber insert. This insert on the tip aims to cushion distortion and reduce vibrations caused by the Rockers.
What is the rocker?
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.
Durability
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 to 89°.
