What does a ski's sidecut correspond to?
The dimension line corresponds to the width of the tip, runner and tail.
The wider the tip, the easier the ski enters the turn. The narrower the runner, the grippier the ski on hard snow. The wider the runner, the more comfortable and stable the ski is in snow changes.

Which skier are you?
If freeride means speed and you're an expert freeride skier, the Patrol 95 Ti is your ski. Like the pisteurs it's named after, the Patrol 95 Ti will support you whatever the conditions. If, like the pisteurs, you don't want to think twice about picking up your skis, the Patrol 95 Ti will give you fun in any snow. It's THE unique pair of skis for powerful, committed skiers on and off the slopes.
Description
Grippy, stable and secure on hard snow, it retains good lift when the snow softens. The Patrol has a directional shape, which makes it easy to turn on edge or drift. Its radius is neither too long nor too short, allowing for a wide variety of turns. The rockers are taut and not too pronounced for good stability.
Selection assistance
If you want to start freeriding, the Rookie will be your ski.
If you already ski off-piste, the choice will be between a Patrol and a Slash:
The Patrol for those who like serious, catchy and versatile skis.
The Patrol Ti 95 METAL EDITION is a special series of the Patrol with even better performance!
The Slash is for those who prefer super-playful skis.
For powder hunters, there's a Pow Chaser on your feet.
Construction
It shares the same dimensions as the Patrol 95, but with a completely different engine! Its wood-core construction (poplar) is over-vitaminized with 2 "Titanal" aluminum plates and vertical edges.
The advantage of this construction? It offers exceptional stability, particularly pleasant for powerful skiers who like speed. It gives you a lively ski underfoot in powder, while maintaining incredible stability in long turns.
Tip rubber
The ski's construction incorporates a rubber insert. The role of this tip insert is to dampen deformations and reduce rocker-related vibrations.
What is a camber?
On a rocker ski, the tip (and sometimes the tail) lifts off the ground much earlier than on a cambered ski. This shifts the contact points towards the center of the ski. This shortens the ski's surface area in contact with the snow, giving you more maneuverability and lift in soft snow. The angle of the rocker gives you more edge length for greater grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the more maneuverable your ski.
Solidity
Topsheet structured to resist scratches and semi-cap to prevent chipping.
Metal heel reinforcement.
Preparation
Skis waxed and sharpened, ready to use. Edges sharpened to 89°.
