Racy and wild, light and maneuverable, the all-new Octo is intended for alpine ski aesthetes. Carving purists will rejoice in the performance of this insatiable piste eater. While its short radius and sporty flex may evoke a slalom ski, the slight oversteer provided by the combination of tapered tips and rocker allows you to change the rhythm and arabesque of your turns at any time. The Octo smoothly transitions from short turns to more flared turns - or even to skidding if that is your choice. The construction, a combination of poplar wood and fiberglass, provides a feeling of solidity and confidence, while remaining light and agile underfoot. This feeling is further enhanced by its 84 mm waist which facilitates rapid transitions from edge to edge.
