FEATURES

  • __________
  • THE EVERYDAY, EVERY CONDITION BACKCOUNTRY FREERIDE SKI - The perfect backcountry partner is someone who is up for anything and will never let you down whether the conditions are all time, apocalyptic or something in between. Sounds a lot like the Locator 104. Multi-day hut trip in your future? The lightweight construction will keep you going on the skin track. Blower pow in the sidecountry? Ample rocker and a blended tail shape let you point it down the fall line or throw it sideways in bottomless snow on demand. When you need one ski with a soft snow focus that can do it all with predictable performance, the Locator 104 is ready.
    • __________
    • 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.
        • __________
        • AR75 SIDEWALL - Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness. 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
          • __________
          • 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.
              • __________
              • 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.
                • __________
                • CARBON REINFORCEMENT - Used either full length or in specific locations, specially placed Carbon Stringers add pop and stiffness without adding weight.
                  • __________
                  • AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip Design - Modern surf inspired tail shape allows skin clips to self center, making it impossible for a skin to slip off.
                    • __________
                    • LOCATOR SERIES - Explore further. Experience more. The Locator Series is touring skis for skiers first. Every model incorporates ultralight materials and construction to travel deeper in the mountains while maintaining high performance downhill characteristics across a wide range of backcountry conditions. We’re only going up to get down. The Locator Series is designed to do both.
