Touring and Telemark skis

Touring and Telemark skis have been developing pretty rapidly the last year or so. Many people are wanting a wider ski and better construction techniques mean you can have a light ski without sacrificing too much downhill performance. Many ski tourers are happy to use skis from the freeride range, as they want the maximum downhill performance. We have also discovered some of the freestyle skis are excellent for telemark.The skis in this touring and telemark range are designed to offer the best of both worlds.

Climax
The brochure says:-
This ski can open new horizons for telemark. Deep snow, soft snow, crust? – in anything the ride will be precise and the grip assured. We have used the latest technology and the best materials to produce a true 4 x 4 – an incredibly versatile ski. Re-invent your winter with Climax skis.
What it means is :_
The Climax has been developed from the Spark, to give fantastic all mountain freeride performance. By changing the wood core to a super light karuba/Okume composite the weight is reduced for better touring and Telemark handling.

Chaman
The brochure says:-
There was one ski missing from our touring collection. A ski totally freeride orientated, with great performance on piste as well as in deep and difficult snow. Here is the Chaman! Magic and charmed, a ski to for the most demanding ski-mountaineer to trust, providing security and comfort in the most extreme situations. A perfect blend of pure freeride and high mountain ski.
What it means is :_
The shape of the Chaman is based on the Flame and so produces great all mountain performance, while a lighter cap construction and super light wood core bring the weight down to only 1.35 kg

Freeheel
The brochure says:-
For the most dedicated telemarker. We wanted to evolve our asymmetrical concept and almost the only thing we have kept is the name. We have kept the advantages of a symmetrical ski but equipped it with a totally asymmetrical core, to produce a radical, yet perfectly neutral ride in any terrain. A mix of innovative design and technical expertise provide more grip and better comfort, providing clear control through changing snow conditions. A real jewel to illuminate the laws of gravity.
What it means is :_
The Asymmetric core produces a ski perfect for Telemark, while the outline shape is now symmetrical.

Red Apple 71
The brochure says:-
Light as a feather, the high-tech construction delivers top performance. For skiers who love the mountains, a ski to guide you in comfort through the most radical conditions. The modern parabolic sidecut produces precise grip in all snow conditions. Trust them anywhere and they will not let you down.
What it means is :_
A super light touring ski. improvements to the construction are the only changes.

Red Apple 74
The brochure says:-
Big brother of the Red Apple 71, 3 mm wider, the Red Apple 74 is a pure freeride ski. An evolutionary geometry and progressive flex make it a ski perfectly adapted to heavier skiers and to those who want a wider ski to create more lift. From now on the most exciting peaks are within reach..
What it means is :_
A super light touring ski. improvements to the construction are the only changes.
