Item Description

The Surface Analog Blanks feature an ultralight poplar wood core, kevlar runners from tip to tail, a sintered die-cut base, and 2.5 mm full wrap steel edges. Surface calls these their “non-sense, directional, ski touring and ski mountaineering work-horse”. They’re 100mm at the waist, which allows for taming the pow and having plenty of camber underfoot; They sport early rise rocker construction and a directional taper shape. The Analogs have a short turn radius, so they’re versatile in the trees and also perform well on steeps and more technical terrain. Weighing in at just under four kilos, the Analog Blanks aren’t the lightest ski out there, but they don’t slow you down any on the skin track.

Features:

- Camber + Early Rise Construction 
- Directional Taper Shape 
- Ultra-Light Poplar Wood Core 
- Kevlar Runners Tip-to-Tail
- Polyurethane Sidewall Construction
- Sintered Base
- 2.5mm Full Wrap Steel Edges
- Binding Reinforcement Sheets
- 2mm Mini-Cap

Early rise construction along with underfoot camber allows for deep snow and hard pack skiing alike. The camber is significantly decreased on the tails to facilitate ski mountaineering and kick turns, while still allowing for an easy reverse mode on the skin track.

The Analog Blanks 140/100/126 dimensions are fat enough for backcountry pow, but not too fat that you don’t smile on a groomer.

Plenty of camber underfoot allows for quick, short radius turns when you need them.

It’s a sandwich construction ski with a 2mm Mini-Cap and simple, but aesthetically pleasing top sheet design.
