Extrem Drifter 96: light on the way up, strong on the descent
The Drifter 96 is a light carbon ski for long tours and big adventures. It is aimed at anyone who wants to carry as little weight as possible up the mountain without giving up performance on the descent, whether in fresh powder or on wind-packed snow.
With a waist width of 96 mm and a radius of 14 to 18 metres (depending on length), it is as suitable for touring as for use in off-piste terrain. The weight is only 1,235 to 1,595 grams per ski. The rocker in tip and tail makes it versatile, and the light wood core provides a lively, agile and easily controllable ride feel.
