Perfect for racers chasing podiums and ambitious ski mountaineers who count every gram without giving up durability.

It thrives in competitive randonee races, steep alpine ascents, and long endurance tours where efficiency and edge hold matter most. Why We Like ItFeatherweight Speed with Reliable Durability:We like how the ULTRA 65 blends an ultralight karuba wood core with a carbon/fiberglass layup that feels secure underfoot. Micro-ABS sidewalls add grip and vibration damping, while the flat tail keeps kick turns and transitions efficient. It’s a race ski that doesn’t feel fragile, giving us confidence on both the climb and the descent.
