Jaw dropping.

Ever since Caldwell turned 35 last year we’ve been working on a true 34mph specific ski. I have no idea yet when it’ll be ready for production but it looks like it’s going to be good...

[Wish]

@AdamCord Without giving to much away and perhaps in general terms, what design elements separating a 34mph specific ski from a 36mph ski??

Needs more angle out of the buoy.

Can't wait to see him in the Big Dawg. Need to put a Denali on the Podium there. That will sell a lot of skis.

Awesome leverage. A work of art.

Guys, I am super excited about this ski - it is doing some awesome stuff at 34!

 

I dont care what the speed is, 41 is hard. I don't know how Nate does it so often. Still a lot to figure out...

 

Here is a clip with 38 at the start for those interested.

 

 

 

What I am amazed by is how this ski is getting me back in the game after overturning 1/3/5 three times! I felt perfect into 2/4/6 regardless which is crazy. I miss timed the gate a bit and didn't get enough speed on the pullout resulting in lack of speed and excessive load at CL. That launched me off the trough into 1ball. I didn't expect to turn 1 let alone run the pass. I almost managed back to back 41s..but stuffed it at 5 ball on the second one.

 

Today I moved the fin forward today from .760 to .800 and it got even better! It kept the ski under me more out of 2/4 and settled into the rotation earlier to 1/3/5 and smoothed up the finish of the turn a bit at 39/41.
