21/22 Natural 101

The 21/22 Backcountry Collection continues our annual theme of geo/mapping/mythological creatures by featuring a kraken on the Natural and a jackalope on the Mystics, combined with an angled solid tail.

The Natural 101 is a skier's backcountry ski. From spring mountaineering, to deep mid winter days, and even a few groomer laps, I don't have to think about what ski to bring with me to the hill. The lightweight balsa core keeps these exceptionally light on the skin track on the long days, while the full ABS sidewall and traditional sandwich construction keeps them damp through all the variable types of snow the backcountry can throw at us. The rockered and tapered tip keeps me floating on the pow days we dream of, while the 5mm of camber ensure enough bite for even the steepest late season couloirs. These aren't your dad's featherweight chatterboxes. The most durable bases on the market maintain peace of mind when stepping on and skiing over rocks in the late spring. — John Douthit, Global Operations Manager
