Built for skiers who appreciate precision as much as play, the new Octo is a sharp yet surprisingly approachable carving ski—wild in spirit, but controlled and confident on snow. On groomers, it locks into the turn with a clean, powerful edge, giving carving enthusiasts that addictive “drawn-on-rails” feeling. Its short 14 m radius and sporty flex echo the personality of a slalom ski, but the design goes far beyond tight turns: tapered tips and a touch of rocker introduce a light, intuitive oversteer that lets you shift turn shapes on the fly. Snappy short arcs, smooth medium-radius sweepers, or a relaxed slide when you want to loosen things up—the Octo adapts instantly.
Under the hood, a poplar wood core reinforced with fiberglass keeps the ski energetic yet stable, offering a solid, confidence-boosting platform without unnecessary weight. At 1550 g per ski and 84 mm underfoot, it feels agile and quick edge-to-edge, ideal for skiers who want responsiveness without the bulk of a wider chassis. The medium classic camber provides strong grip and reliable contact through the turn, striking a sweet balance between stability and maneuverability.
The Octo is built for those who crave performance but don’t want to sacrifice ease—an engaging, athletic ski that rewards good technique while still inviting you to push, explore, and play with the mountain’s rhythm.
Features
Versatile Short-Radius Carving
A very short radius paired with quick sidecut geometry creates immediate turn engagement and ultra-fast edge-to-edge performance—ideal for skiers who want to carve dynamically at a range of speeds.
Light, Intuitive Oversteer
Tapered tips and a touch of rocker add accessible oversteer, allowing smooth shifts between short slalom-style arcs, medium-radius turns, and controlled skids when you want to release the tail.
Balanced Flex for Energy & Control
The intermediate flex gives the ski a lively snap out of the turn while maintaining enough torsional strength for dependable grip on firm snow.
Agile Construction
A poplar + fiberglass layup keeps the ski light underfoot without feeling flimsy, delivering a solid, planted ride with enough dampness to inspire confidence on variable groomer conditions.
Stable, Confident Camber Profile
Classic medium camber enhances edge hold and maintains strong contact through the turn, supporting both high-performance carving and relaxed cruising.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule
- Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
- Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
- Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
- Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.
Adjust For
- Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
- Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
- Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
