Whether you’re making sparks on handrails at midnight or dialing your style on the biggest features at your local park, the CT 1.0 is going to roll with the hits. Blending a playful shape & flex with strong construction materials, this ski is built to meet all your park skiing needs. The wood core mixes poplar & beech. Poplar brings lightness, durability & pop, as well as having great vibration absorption capabilities. The beech adds stiffness & rebound, it’s a combination that keeps the weight down whilst ensuring the ski is snappy between turns & still soft enough to butter all over the mountain. The Symmetrical True Twin shape ensures effortless switch skiing; plenty of camber underfoot boosts pop. A Carbon Stomp Pad increases strength underfoot & adds stability. Full Strength Sidewalls help protect the core & ensure smooth edge hold on firmer snow. An Anti-Chip Micro-Cap sits on top of the sidewalls improving durability; 2.5mm edges mean extra material & increased resistance to rail impacts & rock blows. If you want to maximize your park ability, then CT 1.0 is going to need to be on your feet. ...

Whether you’re making sparks on handrails at midnight or dialling-in your style on the biggest features at your local park, the CT 1.0 is going to roll with the hits. Blending a playful shape & flex with strong construction materials, this ski is built to meet all your park skiing needs. If you want to maximize your park ability, then CT 1.0 is going to need to be on your feet. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type It’s a park ski but it peforms surprisingly well all mountain & on groomers where it can lay down clean turns with plenty of energy, keeping up with many piste & firm snow dedicated models. It’s rails, jumps, hips & the like where it’s pop, response & balance really shine. Skier Type This is Candide’s park model, the ski for hitting manmade features. You might not be able to match his effortless style & huge tricks, but at least you won’t be blaming your kit. The CT 1.0 uses the best design & the best materials, no compromise. Overview Shape 92mm underfoot is the sweet spot for a park ski that loses no performance & can rip when all mountain. An 18m (178cm) radius offers stability on landings & rougher or soft snow & still feels easy to use when shredding turns. The near-symmetrical twin shape ensures effortless switch skiing. The CT Signature Shape gives the ski an effortless feel wherever it’s used. Rocker Tip & Tail  Rocker uses traditional camber underfoot for response & good edge grip,  with rocker at the tip & tail to improve manoeuvrability by aiding turn initiation & completion.  Core Full wood core blends harder beech wood & lighter poplar to create a lively, durable & relatively light core. Ideal for a ski that wants to feel poppy and responsive while remaining tough. A Titanal / Rubber Stomp Pad is placed underfoot for additional strength, as well as protecting the wood core against heavy duty impact on rails, the  Titanal and rubber adds stability & vibration. Construction Full Strength Sidewalls place strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge & the topsheet. This provides the best possible edge hold & stability when the ski is engaged in a turn,  as well as protecting the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact & outside damage.  On top of this is an  Anti-Chip Micro-Cap, a hybrid of a full strength, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With Micro-Cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold & torsional stability,  while the ski’s topsheet wraps around & meets the sidewall protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping. Key Features CT Signature Shape, Flex & Stance Designed by the man himself, Candide Thovex, & the very same skis that he rides straight out of the wrapper. Based on the CT 5.0, the shape is retro-fitted to the narrower models in the range. SIGNATURe SHAPe: Moderately tapered tips & tails are complemented by an elliptical Radius sidecut for efficient, precise handling & carving. A combination of generous rocker & modest camber results in a wonderfully playful character, injecting new energy into an otherwise routine day on the mountain. SIGNATURe FLe X: Candide is never not tinkering, tweaking, learning, improving. He’s adamant that bigger rocker is best complemented by solid, stiffer tips & tails to help settle the skis & power through variable snow. in addition, the stiff tips absorb more vibration when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch more flex under foot & it allows the skis to load up & POP on request. Welcome to the Candide Thovex Signature Flex. SIGNATURe STANCe: The narrowest spot on the ski is the centre of the radius, & it happens to be the most intuitive place from which to initiate pivoting of the funkfreaky-freestyle variety. Mounting here also works wonders for carving & popping off the back & front of your skis.XL 2.5mm edges Thicker edges mean increased durability & impact resistance, crucial for a ski that is built to test the rule book. elliptic Radius Sidecutelliptical Radius  Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot & shorter radii in the tip & tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster & easier, while a shorter radius in the tip & tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths, angles & mounting positions.e B tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Well suited for someone looking for a high-end freestyle ski with loads of energy. Seasonnaire’s would find it wide enough to handle most of the mountain but enjoy it most in the park or off hits.
