Shape:133-110-123 mm (24 meters radius)
Weight (per manufacturer): 1900g
Mount: -2cm from true center
Binding: Tyrolia AAAttack 13
Days skied: 10
Reviewer height/weight: 6'2, 205lbs
Review Location(s): Alta Ski Area
Conditions skied: Slush, chunder, trees & pow.
Shape/Flex/Construction:
The Freeride is built for bigger mountains and deeper snow. It is based on the same core construction as the award winning The Enduro but does, despite a quite modest 110 mm waist, offer extraordinary floating characteristics thanks to its unique shape and pronounced rocker.
Although being a distinguished big mountain ski, it actually behaves surprisingly well on piste. But truth is, piste is not what The Freedride is made for. Its construction offers a unique combination of shape and rocker that is not only floating better in deep snow than most wider skis, but also providing ability to change direction quickly and incredible stability at speed.
THE NORSE RECIPE
The mixture of perfect pop and lightness in our skis is found in our own ash, poplar and balsa wood core. Torsional stiffness with traditional feel is delivered by double layers of aluminium sheets and triaxial glass fibres combined with the right amount of rubber vibration dampening.
We also use a high quality sintered base that is permanently impregnated with the original Nanowaxxx treatment. It provides a waxless base that never needs waxing throughout the skis’ entire lifespan. It also hardens the base to increase the protection against rock impacts.
Talking about rocks. We also use a wider 2.0 x 1.8 mm steel edge to endure more sharpening and increase the lifespan of your next dearest friends.
