Playful, balanced, and forgiving, it sports an 88mm waist. And as the widest ski in the Astral collection, it's especially suited for softer snow and mixed conditions. Its unique Hex Bridge construction pairs a full wood core with a lightweight matrix of metal to maximize edge hold and response. In addition to boosting confidence, this design dampens vibrations for a smooth and predictable ride. To further aid in transitioning between turns and to optimize edge hold, the Astral sports a classic, squared-off tail shape. And its early rise tip offers additional floatation in powder and readily absorbs bumps. For plenty of fun and no shortage of confidence, team up with the Astral 88.
