Seek out untracked lines in the backcountry and slice up the groomed runs at the resort with the all-mountain Apache Xplorer skis.

Designed for hard-charging, advanced skiers who are looking for 1 pair of skis that can do it all
These skis work well if you're sticking to the groomed runs, but they are ideal if you find yourself switching between groomed runs and off-piste terrain
Fir/aspen wood core is inherently strong and durable, and it produces a smooth, natural flex
Cap construction envelops the wood core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski, keeping overall weight light and durability high
Metal laminate construction alternates layers of fiberglass and titanium above and below the wood core to provide damp, accurate performance
MOD technology features an elastomeric secondary core which works as a high-performance suspension and damping system
MOD technology doesn't affect flex, allowing the skis to bend freely while absorbing vibrations and increasing power, forgiveness and performance
MOD Monic mass damping technology reduces unwanted vibrations at their source through the addition of embedded zinc in the secondary core
Progressive sidecut has different curve shapes along different parts of the ski—more aggressive in the tip, less aggressive in the tail
The progressive sidecut results in confident, quick turn initiation in hard snow and easy release in crud and powder
K2/MX integrated binding system transfers power directly to the ski for unmatched precision and control during aggressive descents
Lightweight Marker Inter-Pivot heel has a wide footprint, transferring power directly to ski's edges for excellent carving performance
Imbedded hubs in the core of the ski are 50mm apart, decreasing the distance between the binding and ski edge to enhance performance
Marker Biometric toe features channels that unalign during backward twisting falls to immediately reduce the upward release force
Stainless-steel anti-friction device allows essential lateral boot movement despite the condition of dirty or worn soles or negative sliding friction
Ideally suited for 60% ungroomed and 40% groomed skiing
