"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I love how the Départ 1. 0 skis bring out the playful side of skiing. The twin tip design and wide steel edge let me go from the park to the backcountry bootpack without missing a beat. They’re snappy, light, and made for creative expression on snow.""Who It’s ForFreestyle Skiers Who Love to Mix It Up:The Départ 1. 0 is designed for skiers who want one setup for park laps, side hits, and creative all-mountain skiing. Ideal for advanced freestyle riders who love flowy tricks, switch skiing, and bringing a playful style into freeride terrain. What It’s ForPark Progression and Freestyle Exploration Beyond the Park:With a twin tip shape and FS Park rocker profile, this ski is made for spins, butters, and switch landings. The wider waist and steel edges add stability when venturing off groomers, so it’s equally comfortable boosting in the park or slashing creative lines in soft snow. Why We Like ItPlayfulness Meets Stability:We like the Départ 1. 0 because it’s not just a park ski—it’s a freestyle tool for the whole mountain. The poplar/karuba woodcore makes it light and lively, fiberglass adds snap, and titanal reinforcement ensures control when charging harder. It’s a ski that encourages us to explore the mountain with creativity and style."
