Sitting right in the sweet spot of versatility, it’s just as comfortable popping off side hits as it is floating through soft snow or laying into groomers with a playful edge. Why we like it: It’s the true do-it-all member of the Playmaker family—freestyle-forward, but fully capable wherever you take it. Who it's for: Creative skiers who have a playful style and want one ski to rule the resort—light enough for tricks, strong enough to charge when you need it, and fun everywhere in between. Highlights: With a 101 mm waist and Amphibio Twin Tip rocker profile, the Playmaker 101 combines edge precision with a loose and surfy feel. The Tubelite woodcore with dual carbon rods keeps it responsive and poppy, while the twin shape and relatively soft flex pattern make it easy to pivot and slash at will. Given its width, it’s an extremely light ski, making it quick on it’s feet, snappy off the ground, and a ton of fun for a huge variety of skiers.
