ART 112 – Made in Italy Big-Mountain / Free-Ride Ski
The ART 112 is a versatile, high-performance freeride ski designed for riders who demand stability, precision, and control in steep, open terrain. With its long platform, responsive flex, and carefully engineered rocker, it delivers confidence at speed while remaining nimble enough for technical lines.
Construction & Materials
Wood Core
A poplar–ash wood core combines lightness and strength, providing energetic flex that balances float in soft snow with precise edge hold on firmer surfaces.
Fiber Reinforcement
Triaxial fiberglass enhances torsional rigidity, improving edge grip and responsiveness without adding unnecessary weight.
Reinforcements
Strategically placed bamboo-ply layers increase vibration dampening and torsional stability, resulting in a smooth and controlled ride in variable conditions.
Sidewalls
Durable PLY sidewalls ensure consistent flex, improved impact resistance, and reliable long-term performance.
Base
A high-performance nano-graphite base delivers excellent glide, wax absorption, and stable performance across a range of snow conditions.
Profile & Flex
Rocker Profile
A long rockered tip with slight tail lift provides effortless float in powder, while maintaining smooth transitions and reliable edge engagement on mixed or firmer snow.
Flex
Medium flex offers a balanced combination of support and maneuverability, making it responsive at speed yet forgiving in technical terrain.
