What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The H96 felt super intuitive from the first turn-quick and agile in trees, but with enough bite to hold confidently on firm snow. It floats well for a mid-fat ski and feels damp without being sluggish. It's the kind of ski I'd take anywhere when I don't know what conditions to expect."Who It's ForIntermediate to Advanced All-Mountain Skiers:The H96 is ideal for riders who want a reliable one-ski quiver for variable mountain conditions. It's approachable enough for intermediates building confidence, yet powerful and precise enough for advanced skiers who like to mix groomers, trees, and soft-snow laps. What It's ForVersatile All-Mountain and Freeride Use:With its 96mm waist and rocker-camber-rocker profile, the H96 is tuned for versatility. It grips confidently on hardpack, carves smooth arcs on groomers, and pivots easily in trees or mixed terrain. When snow softens, the tip and tail rocker add float and surfy control. Why We Like ItDurability, Precision, and Agility Together:We like how the H96 blends responsive control with a forgiving, durable build. The poplar wood core provides pop and resilience, the multiaxial fiberglass keeps torsion in check, and the recycled steel edges hold strong even on icy steeps. It's a ski designed to handle Mont-Blanc's mix of powder, chop, and firm terrain-so it's ready for just about anything.
