Get on route this season with the BD Route 95 skis. These skis are an awesome mix of a freeride and backcountry ski for anyone on a budget looking to try their hand at backcountry or sidecountry adventures while maintaining a ski durable enough to stand up to daily lift laps. The poplar wood core, pre-preg fiberglass construction, and flat top give you a ski that is stable and responsive on the downhill, but light enough to take with you on the climb to the top of your line. Not the lightest option ski in the touring department, but a solid go-to touring ski nonetheless.
- Wood Core
- The standard core which has throughout time provided the best performance and durability. Each model may have it's own density level to help define flex and maximum speed but every wood core ski will be solid.
- Sintered Base
- The material used for the base is harder, and therefore more durable than other options (Extruded). This material should be waxed regularly for best performance.
- Tip Rocker
- This refers to the early rising of the tip to get the ski on top of the soft snow, rather than pushing through it. When the skis are held with the bases together, it will look like the tips are bent, and spread away from eachother. Tip rocker also helps skiers pivot the skis, making tight trees remarkably easy, and gives the ski a surf-like feel.
- Skin Notch
- There is a notch in the tail of the ski that helps the clip of climbing skins stay in place. It doesn't change the skiing characteristics of the ski at all, but it is pretty nice to have if you tour in the backcountry.
