Salomon Czar Ski - Salomon Czar Skis 2012: The Salomon Czar Skis are twin tip, performance powder ski combining rocker shape for floatation in powder with woodcore and normal camber under the foot for stability. It has a nice long sidecut for linking longer turns in the high alpine. For a more traditional feel around the mountain and float in the powder the Czar is the way to go.
Fabric:
- Edgy Monocoque offers precise edge grip, no excess material, and efficient energy transfer from the skier to the snow for freeskiing.
Lining and Layers:
- PULSE PAD is a layer of rubber along the edges and in certain zones of the ski for a smoother ride and improved ski-snow contact.
- Double Monocoque is a double layer of fibers for maximum response and edge grip.
Weather and Wind:
- Full Woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound, which maximizes ski/snow contact and filters vibrations.
Traction and Grip:
- Total Edge Reinforcement has a fiber directly on the edges providing edge stiffness for improved durability and grip.
Features:
- We recommend a brake width that is equal to the ski waist width and at most 15 mm wider.
- High Twin Tip tail to land big switch powder jumps
- Powder Rocker is a very large, single rocker shape, used on wider powder skis to provide maximum flotation in the front part of the ski. Normal camber from the mid-foot back ensures stability. A 60% pressure zone when flat has a slight transition to a 75% pressure zone when on edge for maneuverability and stability at high speeds.
- Wide Edges are thicker for increased durability and improved shock resistance.

The Czar returns this season as a favorite for big mountain and hard charging skiers. A 111mm waist profile and a stretched out turn radius the Czar becomes a true big mountain ski. With a Double Monocoque construction along with edge reinforcement the Czar is strong enough to hold up to the biggest drops and that occasional rock you didn't quite see. A full wood core, with the addition of a bamboo layer, keeps the Czar mellow flexing and light, while retaining good pop. The Czar is a ski that can be smeared or driven depending on the snow pack, and situation, making it very confidence inspiring when tight lines present themselves. The Czar may not have the all mountain versatile it once had, but is now a true big mountain ride. The Powder Rocker give the Czar great float in the deep stuff, making this ski great for someone that will spend most of their time at a resort that exceeds 400 inches a season.
