Product Info
If you want an all-mountain machine, one that can hang on the groomers, in the bumps, and even holds its own when a few inches of fresh blanket the slopes, look no further than the Salomon X-Drive 8.3 Skis + XT12 Bindings. This smokin' ski features an all-terrain rocker for a bit of float in fresh pow and a smooth transition on hardpack. Toss in a tight 13-16 meter turning radius, and the X-Drive 8.3s will have you burning those short radius turns with unparalleled bite and confidence.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All-Terrain Rocker 2.0 – Gradual rocker in the tip transitions into traditional camber underfoot and through the tail for precise turns and maneuverability.
Core
Light Density Woodcore – Premium, hand-selected version of the Poplar full woodcore with the same strength and performance, but 15% lighter.
Laminates
X-Chassis – Carbon/polyamide diagonal reinforcement in the middle of the ski leads to increased torsional stiffness for stronger edge grip and more stability.
RKS | Rocker Stabilizer – 3D composite fiber reinforcement at the rocker contact zones for increased precision and control on piste.
Ti Laminate – A single layer of Titanal reinforcement for great edge grip, efficient energy transfer and liveliness.
Basalt Layer – Running the length of the ski, the basalt layer provides outstanding dampening and vibration absorption.
Sidewalls
Semi-Sandwich Sidewall – A combination of ABS sidewall in the middle of the ski and monocoque at the tip and tail for strong edge grip underfoot and increased maneuverability.

Terrain
Carving For those that like the classic feeling of laying a ski over on edge and arcing a perfect turn, carving skis are what you want. These skis have narrower waists and shorter turn radii for edge to edge quickness and responsive turn initiation and exit on groomed runs and hard pack. The beginner-intermediate skis in this category are designed to make learning how to turn as easy as going from pizza to French fries. All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
