Product Info
Salomon XW Lab Skis 2009: What’s black and red and awesome all over? The Salomon XW Lab Skis for 2009. Graphics spill over these big mountain baddies in a mix of subtlety and strength. Created with big flotation in mind, the playful feel of these skis will have you gripping edge in both hard pack and in weightless powdery stashes. These edges are not just wide, they’re ridiculously wide. Feel the difference a little spreading can do when durability and shock resistance increase ten fold. The Salomon XW Lab Skis include Ptex 4000 which offers a very high molecular density base plus graphite. What this does for your skis is gives an unbeatable glide, unparalleled wax absorption, and abrasion resistance like you wouldn’t believe. Pick up a pair of Salomon XW Skis and get ready to shred the hell out of those mountains.

Terrain
Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber

Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
