Field of Use
The ART 111 is designed for freeriders who blend speed with creativity. Its wide waist delivers excellent flotation in soft snow, while the rocker-camber profile keeps the ski agile in trees, pillows, and other terrain features. Whether charging through powder, riding switch, or landing drops, the ski remains stable, smooth, and responsive.
Versatility & Performance
The balanced poplar/ash core, multi-layer reinforcement, and rocker structure create a ski that feels surfy and fluid in powder while remaining dependable on mixed or compact snow. Its playful flex encourages freestyle-style expression, yet it maintains enough stability for committed big-mountain lines.
Craftsmanship & Aesthetic
Handmade in Italy, the ART 111 embodies OPERA’s dedication to premium materials and refined construction. Bamboo sidewalls reduce plastic use and improve structural integrity, while the Wood Evolution method integrates high-quality wood throughout the ski. Each pair features a distinctive aesthetic, available in multiple ash-color finishes with optional laser customization.
