What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Locator 104 is the ski I grab when I’m not sure what the snow will throw at me. It’s light enough for big tours, floats when it’s deep, and still carves confidently when conditions get firm. The rocker nose and flared tail keep it fun and surfy, while the camber underfoot gives me the control I need on sketchy sections. It’s an incredibly reliable touring partner."Who It’s ForIntermediate to Expert Backcountry Skiers:The Locator 104 is built for skiers who want a dependable touring ski that performs in everything from powder days to variable spring snow. Ideal for backcountry riders who prioritize a lightweight feel on the climb without giving up stability and edge control on the descent. What It’s ForVersatile Backcountry Touring and Powder Hunting:With a 104mm waist, rocker/camber/rocker profile, and flared Bat Tail, the Locator 104 is designed for backcountry missions where conditions change. It floats on storm days, pivots quickly in tight terrain, and holds an edge on harder surfaces—making it a quiver-worthy choice for mixed backcountry conditions.

The caruba core and lightweight edges save energy on the skintrack, while the carbon-reinforced laminate and partial sidewalls provide downhill control.
