Late in the day after a storm, wind-packed patches and soft pockets trade places every few turns, and the Apostle 96 Ti Ski stays steady through each change. This titanal all-mountain ski adds two sheets of titanal in a spearhead layout, 30 millimeters wide at the tip, 60 underfoot, and 30 at the tail, to raise stiffness and torsional rigidity. The added rigidity optimizes pressure underfoot and increases dampness. The reduced rocker profile from the previous version carries over, which extends the effective edge and adds stability. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Tracked-out snow at speed did not make the ski chatter, because the titanal sheets soak up vibration before it reaches the edge, and the edge stayed planted on the firm patches between the soft ones. At 96 millimeters underfoot it is a daily all-mountain ski and not a deep powder ski, so on big storm days I want more width."
