Designed for skiers who crave silence, solitude, and the satisfaction of reaching faraway lines under their own power, the Agent 1 is your lightweight gateway into the backcountry. With an 86mm waist, a progressive touring shape, and a precision-tuned carbon layup, this ski thrives on big days, long approaches, and variable mountain conditions. It’s featherlight on the uphill, efficiently slicing vertical feet off long climbs, yet confidently stable on the descent — delivering the energy, grip, and control you need when the terrain gets complex.
The Agent 1 features a Karuba wood core for maximum weight savings without sacrificing strength, paired with a full-length carbon weave that adds stiffness and stability where you need it most. Its progressive flat tail blends the power and speed of a traditional touring tail with enough rocker to release easily, pivot quickly, and adapt to soft or unpredictable snow. Whether you're threading through tight trees, edging down a firm ridge, or opening it up on spring corn, the Agent 1 offers intuitive handling and a surprisingly bold downhill personality.
Light, dependable, and remarkably versatile, the Agent 1 is built for skiers who want a modern touring ski that doesn’t fall apart when the slope turns steep or the snow turns mixed. It lets you go farther, climb faster, and ski more confidently — even when conditions throw you a curveball.
FEATURES
Progressive Flat Tail
A blend of traditional touring stability and modern freeride playfulness. The flat tail provides power, edge grip, and speed, while a carefully engineered amount of tail rocker allows for quick slashes, controlled pivots, and confidence in soft snow. Stable at high speed, forgiving at low speed — a best-of-both-worlds design.
Lightweight Karuba Wood Core
Karuba offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, delivering lively flex, natural dampening, and dependable stability without adding bulk. Ideal for long tours and technical missions where efficiency and downhill confidence both matter.
Full Carbon Weave
8–12 unidirectional carbon strips run tip-to-tail on both sides of the core. Integrated within the fiberglass layer, they increase torsional stiffness and stability without weighing the ski down. The result: a lively, lightweight ski with strong edge hold and minimized chatter.
Mustache Flex Pattern
A balanced flex profile with reinforced zones in front of and behind the binding for power and security, paired with softer, more progressive tips and tails for smoother turn initiation, easier maneuverability, and improved absorption in variable snow.
Elliptical Sidecut
A longer radius underfoot enhances pivoting and control, while shorter radii in the tip and tail make turns smooth and effortless. Whether you're navigating tight terrain or opening it up into wide arcs, this sidecut keeps your skiing adaptable and precise.
XL 2.5mm Edges
25% thicker than standard ski edges, designed for longevity, repeated tuning, and handling variable touring conditions.
Full Strength Sidewall
Reinforced sidewalls protect the core, improve edge durability, and provide better energy transmission for a stable, confident ride season after season.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
Extra protection where the topsheet meets the sidewall—keeping your tips and tails looking clean and helping resist chips from skinning, kick turns, and daily wear.

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.
