Rocker Type
Twin Rocker – Makes for a playful, surfy ride that can smear and grip as needed through varied snow and terrain.
Sidecut
Progressive Sidecut – The progressive sidecut profile delivers confident grip while unleashing more playfulness and fluidity to drift, smear, and carve through any terrain or snow conditions. The rounder tip and tail profiles offer instant engagement while releases turns with ease for playful manipulation of changing snow and terrain.
Core
Poplar PEFC™ Wood Core – A very versatile construction designed to ensure liveliness, grip and a feeling of safety. The Poplar wood cores are PEFC™ certified which guarantees sustainable forest management.
Laminates
Diago Fiber – Originally developed in the Race Department for downhill skis, Diago Fiber increases torsional rigidity, power and pop while keeping skis lightweight for enhanced agility and easier touring.
Damp Tech – Reduces ski vibration for increased snow contact and smooth, confident control in variable snow conditions.
Air Tip – Reduces weight at the tip and concentrates ski mass underfoot for effortless maneuverability, natural floatation and playful control.
Sidewalls
Rectangular Full Sidewall – A horizontal layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) combined with full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power.
Base
High Density (HD) Sintered Base – For performance glide and durability in all conditions.
A couple quotes from blister review:
“In today’s market, the Sender Free 118 offers some of the best suspension I’ve experienced. It blows through soft snow with ease, and in the denser piles and patches, it does a phenomenal job of muting out the vibrations and impacts that would easily unsettle a (much) lighter ski.
And yet, the Sender Free 118’s big sweet spot and surfy ride that I described above still remain in chop. As long as you maintain some pace, the Sender Free 118 is surprisingly easy to throw sideways, and it doesn’t require that you have perfect body position to do so.
This combination — class-leading stability and forgiving maneuverability — is why I think this ski is so special.”
“When I snuck out for two hours of solo, backpack-less, nonstop chop skiing on the Sender Free 118, it was borderline transcendental. Skiing those conditions on this ski is probably one of the most fun things I can do on this earth.”
Price is about 30% less than retail, probably more considering tax so I feel pricing is fair but may consider reasonable offers.
