The La Machine 4 touring ski is a 117mm-wide beauty to behold in the world of ultra-light freetouring and powder skiing. Its blend of lightness, generous rocker and progressive profile is ideal for skiers seeking a setup for extended backcountry adventures in soft and variable snow. its carbon-loaded constuction affords torsional rigidity that ensures stability and edge hold when conditions become hairy in areas far off the grid.
Features
• Terrain: Freeride, Touring, Powder
• Ability: Advanced, Expert
• Lightweight Paulownia Core: Paulownia is an ultra-lightweight wood core with excellent strength, offering great flex and vibration absorption without bulk. Perfect for touring skis, Paulownia excels both uphill and downhill. Paulownia shares nearly identical properties with Karuba, differing only by their growing regions
• Full Carbon Layers: Two full-length sheets of carbon fiber sandwich the wood core, for a lightweight, yet responsive and torsionally rigid ski. Transform your skiing on the uphill and downhill, with minimal weight penalty
• Recycled Materials: We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability
• Locally Sourced Materials: To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact
• 1% for the Planet: As a proud partner of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of all sales of our Agent, La Machine and Dancer Series skis to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are committed to mitigating climate change
• Sustainable Wood Cores: Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances
• Bio-Based Resin: This ski features an eco-friendly, bio-based resin with 35% plant-derived materials. Enjoy the same strength and durability as petrochemical resins while reducing your environmental impact. Top-tier, sustainable performance
• Full Strength Sidewall: Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary
• Elliptical Sidecut: The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control
• Anti-Chip Micro-Cap: The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain
• Mustache Flex: The Moustache Flex pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish
• High Resistance Topsheet: We use the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain
• Ski Shape(Extended Tip & Tail Rocker): We employ Extended Rocker, a reverse camber shape in the tip and tails, which along with waist width, is the most important element in providing float in fresh snow. Extended rocker also makes pivoting and turn initiation easier and means you have less chance of catching an edge
