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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1667\"\u003eLight, 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.
