THE LIGHTWEIGHT AND VERSATILE TOURING SKI FOR CHARGING DEMANDING DESCENTS.

The biggest descents ask a lot from your equipment. You’ll need tenacious edge hold and dependable stability for billy goating through no-fall zones while maintaining enough float to surf high-speed turns through creamy pow and perfect corn. The Locator 96 covers all these bases, which is no small feat. The 96 mm waist quickly gets up on edge and bites hard on even the iciest sidehills, all at a weight that’s low enough for the biggest objectives on your tick list. The progressive shape and blended rocker lines make the 96 a versatile, confident performer in a variety of conditions from meadow skipping in hero snow to traversing refrozen sastrugi in the high peaks.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

  • __________
  • EST Freeride Rocker - Fore body rocker and extra tip taper combine to create EST for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.

    • __________
    • Caruba Core - Our lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending the gnarliest terrain. This core makes no performance concessions in its quest to be ultra-light.

      • __________
      • 1.7 Lightweight Edge - Light and strong, these heat-treated edges affect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.

        • __________
        • Comp Series Base - Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.

          • __________
          • AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip - Modern surf inspired tail shape allows skin clips to self center, making it impossible for a skin to slip off.

            • __________
            • Carbon Reinforcement - Used either full length or in specific locations, specially placed Carbon Stringers add pop and stiffness without adding weight.

              • __________
              • Ti Binding Dampener - Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber, Titanal and finally more rubber work to dampen vibration that otherwise chatters into your boots and shortens your day. Ski bell-to-bell with extra damping provided.
