Freeride Ski 2017/18 | Sportguide - guides you through the world of sports

Freeride

Freeride stands for ultimate adventure and boundless fun in deep snow, which the freeride freaks cool call "powder". The demands on the skier for excursions into deep snow are much higher than for the normal piste skier. But also the material is quite different. As a rule, freeride skis are built wide to very wide (average widths between 90 - 130 mm) and have a long and strong rocker, which gives them buoyancy like the surfboard on the water and facilitates surfacing and maneuvering in deep snow.

Men

Dynastar Legend

Allmountain Freeride Men

After 4 successful years, the successful all-mountain line "Powertrack" was discontinued. At the same time, the all-mountain and freeride models were united in a common line. This new line is called "Legend". Therefore, the previous Cham models also disappear from the market, which had already had their third winter. The wider the models, the more suitable they are for powder snow. With center widths between 75 and 117 mm, one is very versatile in terms of use on the slopes or in deep snow. The design is cool. The technology and shape deliver more than they promise.

K2 Pinnacle

Freeride Herren

2 years ago, K2 introduced the Pinnacle line to the market with three models that feature a flat, elongated rocker on the shovel and tail of the ski. Excitingly, these models also feature the new Konic technology (see Allmountain models). Three models today feature a super-light composite core - NANOlite technology - from space technology with lower density, which facilitate the swing-in. In the side area, the strong wood core provides edge grip and stability. After last year's addition of the 88 model, 2017/18 sees the addition of the Pinnacle 85, a freeride ski for the slopes. The good look, the surf shape and the sophisticated technology provide powerful fun on and off the slopes. Fun surfing, what more do freeriders want!

K2 Factory Team

Freeride/Freestyle Men

The freestyle and freeride models of the Factory team were merged this season. In the process, the Pontoon model was taken from the Pinnacle series and used here. Depending on the discipline, the team riders ride one of the massive freeride boards to tackle the depths of the powder, or one of the playful TwinTip models to cut a good figure on obstacles in the park.

Rossignol 7-SERIES

Freeride Herren

The 7-Series, which this winter runs under the name Freeride, which it is, has undergone a major overhaul in terms of concept and design. The Air-Tip technology on the shovel has been revised and shows up with a clearly recognizable honeycomb structure in the version 2.0. In addition, the series has been expanded with the model "Seek 7", which shines with its low weight. The unique line for freeriders has been topped again for winter 2017/18!

Fischer Sports Ranger

Freeride Herren

Already in its 3rd winter goes the "Ranger" model series, which attracts attention with its peculiar carbon blade. Sporty maneuverable should also deep snow lovers on the road. Last year's range has been slightly adjusted: The widest model with 122 mm has disappeared and has been replaced by a slightly narrower one with 115 mm. This means that the widest batten is now quite a bit more maneuverable. And the Ranger 84 model has also been replaced by the new Ranger 85. Logically, one has not shied away from renewing the cover sheets.

G3 SYNAPSE+

Freeride ski

With the Synapse models from "G" you are in deep snow and enjoy the world of powder.

G3 SENDr

For backcountry

Those who tour to discover and traverse pristine deep snow slopes strap on the SENDr. The SENDr is the big mountain model at G3.

Line Freeride by Eric Pollard

Freeride

Four special freeride models based on the design and concept of the young American artist and passionate skier Eric Pollard. Depending on width and construction, stronger surf feeling or freestyle behavior in deep powder snow. Wild and groovy!

Line SickDay

Freeride Herren

Dreamlike design and stable concept for smooth surfing in powder and turns on the slopes. As the center width decreases, you approach all-mountain and piste

Radical Freeride

Those who love surfing through meters of snow or also want to glide over the often snow-covered slopes, opt for a Freeride model. The established model Freerider is joined this winter by the limited model "One of Ten", which impresses with its masses and more than pleases with the wood veneer.

The small series is equipped with sophisticated technologies and unique materials and carefully handmade. Both models have rocker at the tip and tail of the ski, which guarantees buoyancy in soft snow. A high quality unique piece for the freeride fan!

Ladies

Dynastar Legend Women

Freeride Allmountain Ladies

In the women's segment, too, the "Cham Women" freeride line and the "Glory" all-mountain line have been combined to form the new "Legend Women" free-all-mountain series. With center widths between 75 and 96 mm, female skiers have a wide choice of models for more or less use in deep snow or on the slopes. Female design and a ski concept tailored to women promise a lot of fun in more or less powder.

K2 Luv Freeride

Freeride Damen

To the three sophisticated models with high quality technology for freeride ladies who want to enjoy powder rides, joins this winter new model "ThrilLUVit" with a center width of only 85 mm and a little more modest equipment. Now the ladies also have a model for use on the slopes with surf character.

K2 Factory Women

TwinTip ladies

Last year's Remedy Freeride collection was abandoned in favor of the Luv Freeride series, the freestyle series reduced to two models: Missconduct and Empress. The Empress model is a distinct park model, while the Missconduct model is at home in the park as well as in deep snow. For skiers who are dedicated to the park and a playful use of the skis, K2 provides the Factory Women collection. The Twin Tip skis are strong in reverse, jumps and landings.

WOMEN 7-SERIES

Freeride Damen

The Freeride line is largely based on last year's models. Here, too, the widest model "Super 7" with its 114 mm center width was deleted. Women are apparently not looking for the ultimate center width. Here, too, the new Air Tip 2.0 technology has been incorporated for a truly maneuverable shovel and the mass has been adjusted somewhat. 4 strong models for women seeking adventure in deep snow.

Fischer Sports My Ranger

Freeride ladies

Last winter Fischer Sports led the models under the name "Ranger W", now they have been christened "My Ranger". The shapes have remained the same, also the technologies for the most part, but there is a new and narrower model with 85 mm center width added, which brings the surf feeling on the slopes. For ladies who love the fun in the powder.

Line Pandora

Freeride Women

The design is feminine, the shape and weight are too. The two models are wide and are aimed at ladies who love surfing and still want a suitable ski for harder passages.
