Alp Tracks is a limited ski series from Movement that requires a manual finishing process that squeezes fiber layers together to reduce weight. Never before has a 100mm wide ski been made this light and robust. The skis are lined with a mini-ABS sidewall that absorbs shock underfoot. Coupled with a special rubber/fiberglass mix in the tip, the Alp Tracks 100 is surprisingly damp for the weight. The skis are outlined with variable thickness edges, stronger where impacts are likely and lighter elsewhere. They are finished with high-end P-Tex 5000 bases. The Alp Tracks skis are Swiss works of art, and the 100mm version could be the masterpiece.
- Variable thickness Tour Edges balance weight and robustness.
- Underfoot roughness is smoothed with an ABS Shock Absorber.
- Rockered tip and shaped tail make skiing easy and fun again.
- VA-Tech is a Vibration Absorbing rubber & fiberglass layer in the tip.
- Binding area is strengthened with a Double Plate Reinforcement.
- Bases are made with P-Tex 5000 which is backcountry-hardened.
- Forestry management standards are followed with the Karuba cores.
Update 2018/19: A top sheet for the new season, mostly the same construction (slight beefing up of the mounting area).
Update 2020/21: With another top sheet and a tweaked carbon layup, the entire Alp Tracks line is improved, leaving the Alp Tracks 100 lighter than ever with even greater skiability.

Have loved these skis for the past 3-4 years. Had been using Coltex skins, but they are approaching the end of their usable lifespan. Can't seen to find any Alp Tracks skins that are precut for these skis. Got any recommendations?

Hi Richard, I have been loving these skis for 5 seasons. Been using the Free Pro 2.0. Light skis, deserve light and compact skins. They grip very well in powder, and after a break in period, glide really well too.
Answer this question:
No ski (touring or resort) has impressed me more than this one (I own the 177cm). It is remarkably powerful and stable... like really remarkable. And not just for the weight, which is incredibly light, but in general. I feel like I can rip on these to my heart's content. It is also incredibly easy to ski either from a centered stance or forward, while at the same time being super stable at speed. How all of this happened in a ski this light is mind-boggling. What a shame Movement discontinued it. I hope they resurrect it, so when my 177cm eventually dies I can buy another one.

Hi, skimo team. I need some advice, does this ski have a titanium plate under the binding?
What size drill should I use for the holes? I will install the Trab Vario 2 binding.
Would you tap the holes with the sharp Wintersteiger tool?
Thank you for the advice.

Hi Jiri, it does have a Titanal plate. It's quite a thin plate though, so you don't typically have to tap if you drill with a 4.1 x 9.5.

After lots of research, I purchased the Movement Alp Tracks 100 last year from Skimo and am 100% happy that I did. I skied 22 days in the backcountry in 3 different states (CO, WY, ID) in diverse conditions (powder to corn) December through April. As a one-ski quiver person, I did not notice any limitations; the skis are springy, responsive, and versatile. They did chatter on one hardpack descent at an area which was worth it because the powder on the backside was amazing. I paired the 177 cm (6.0’, 135 lbs) with ATK Crest 8 bindings to keep them light. My husband is purchasing the 185 cm this season to join in on the fun.

Hi Dave, sadly we won't be seeing any more of that length. Good thing I bought a backup pair ;)
10/29/2023
Thanks Jason. I see now that the 100 has been discontinued, but there is a new 98. Will you be stocking those?
10/29/2023
Hi Dave, unfortunately not. The Alp Tracks 98 is quite different and isn't our cup of tea (we prefer the 95). That said, we can likely get one for you rather quickly if you email help@skimo.co!
3/8/2024
@jbo I’m curious to know how the Alp Tracks 98 differs from the 100 such that it’s not Skimo’s cup of tea (particularly in terms of potential on-snow experience). Obviously, the waist widths are similar. It looks like similar rise and rocker in both the tips and tails between the 100 and 98. Seemingly similar stiffness too.
It does seem like a notable change in sidecut and therefore radius. And I have read in reviews that the 98 has pretty significant camber. Perhaps that’s a notable change?
I really only ask because it does seem that Movement intends the 98 to replace the 100. And it seems to be the more smeary, soft-snow oriented option when compared to the 95.
Thanks!

Hi Scott, it's a very different ski in terms of shape and handling (the construction and feel is the same). Those of us who love the 100 will be happier with the 95. That said, we have enough staff now that prefer the more smeary 98 than either of those, such that we are now getting some this month (and happy to hook you up). I will refrain from using the "we" tense in the future since there are quite varied preferences under the roof at this point.
Answer this question:
9/30/2023
Hi, how far is the mount point from the center of the ski in 185cm.? Would you recommend this ski for a spring ski - looking for corn , steep couloirs? Currently, now I most using the Elan Ripstick 96 188 - I love this ski, it can handle variable snow,on hard snow much better than light skis full of carbon and paulownia...I still have Voile Manti unmounted in the box (for powder days and mid-winter). Will the Alp Tracks 100 be a logical addition to the quiver for spring long missions full of corn and couloirs or do you have a better idea for the quiver: Ripstick 96, Manti, .....? Thank you George
9/30/2023
Hi George,
I measured the recommended mount point on the Alp Tracks 100 in the 185cm at 8.5cm behind true center. I think it would be a lot of fun in the spring, if you prefer a 100mm-underfoot ski for spring conditions. One thing to consider is that skinning uphill in icey-refrozen spring snow is easier on narrower skis. Going down to 85-90 underfoot will make the uphill easier and save a little weight. But these skis are very light and will be tons of fun if you prefer a wider ski. You might also find yourself skiing them in more than just the spring...

I'm 5'10" and weigh about 150lbs... are the 170s too short for me in your opinion? Looking at the alp tracks 100. I live in montana, am an intermediate skier looking for a light ski for touring powder without losing too much ski...
9/23/2023
Hi Kirsa, I think the 170s would work just fine for you. The 177 would probably be on the larger side of what would be appropriate.

I'm on year 4 of the Alp Tracks 100 in a 170, and really like them. Wondering if I should just replace with the same ski? or try out the Backland 100, Voile hyper V6, Dynastar M-tour. Thoughts on the comparisons? I'm 5'10" 160lbs without gear and not a hard charger. Using either F1 LT's or Fischer Carbon Travers boot

ALar,
"Don't fix it if it ain't broke!"
The new Alp Tracks are great, if you liked the old ones, you'll like the new ones! That said, there's lots of other fun skis out there.
The Backland 100 will handle crud better, and is overall easy to ski and fun. The Hyper V6 will be much more stable at speed than the Alp Tracks, and handles variable snow well. The M-Tour skis a lot like an alpine ski, and is super light as well.

I am curious how these compare with the Blizzard Zero G 95's which I am finding to chatter on hard pack and don't feel that playful on softer but heavy snow. They feel like they suffer from their lightness but maybe it is me?
3/28/2023
Cory, These are very different skis. The Zero G 95 are very light, and do good on firm conditions. But Hey, it isn't always easy to hold an edge on icy terrain. And yes, not playful or great in powder.
The Alp Tracks 100 is a powder designed ski. They Excel in all kinds of powder conditions. I find they do OK on hardpack, but not designed for it. If you are looking more for an all around ski, look at the Alp Tracks 95.

I love this ski!
It doesn't do one thing perfectly, but it does everything well. It's balanced, super light for its width, when I lean back in variable conditions there's lots of support in the tails. I've put lots of 6-10k days on these skis and they never feel heavy. Even on corn days I find myself reaching for these when I should go for my narrow skis because they weigh close to the same and they handle variable better.

Hi
I’m looking at the Movement Alptracks 100- I currently ski a 5 yr old voile vector with a teletech set up (dynafit toe and voile cable springs) and scarpa to pro boots. I ski everything backcountry but am slow and steady and not aggressive (hence I think the binding will hold- I have never loosened a binding) . Mostly powder days and woods but always some crud somewhere. How do these skis compare (apart from weight). I would prefer to go wider with the 106 but review suggest that they don’t do crud well- thanks!

Bruce- The Alp Tracks 100 is not the best slow and steady ski. It's on the stiff side and becomes more fun at higher speeds. Voile tends to be more turny and responds easily at slow speeds. Maybe look at the Hannibal 106 as well which is nice and turny.
Answer this question:
So much fun in powder and quite light for the ascent. This is the ski in my quiver that I use the most. Go ahead and cash out your kid's college fund and get these instead.
For reference: I'm 5'11, 200 lbs and went with the 178 cm. I've been happy with that length. I ski these with the Fischer Travers Carbon boot and find that to be a good match. You could go with a beefier boot but I don't think you have to.

Movement!!! These skis are fantastic. Not a ski for the faint of heart. These want to go, go, go. Incredibly lightweight—perhaps the lightest on the market for the size.
So I did pull my bindings out of the skis. No problem. Skimo got me back out there quick. Movement went ahead reinforced the where the bindings are drilled. So no problem now.
I can’t recommend these skis enough.

Comment on this review:
I bought the Movement 100 skis (along with ski trab titan vario 2 binding and La Sprotivia Skorpius boot) at the end of last season and I'm finally getting to enjoy this season. I bought these to be a true all-mountain one-ski quiver and so far they absolutely slay. Technical chute skiing in very mixed conditions - check. Resort groomed + mixed chunder in non groomed - check. Deep ass powder - double check. If I had to make a critique, I found it hard to really super carve turns on groomed at Deer Valley. But I would be willing to give that another try before saying the skis can't do it. I'm looking forward to the next ten years of slaying on these sticks.
3/29/2021
Update - I skied another Chuting Gallery line - Limber Pine - and they were awesome. And then today I went back to Deer Valley and they absolutely crushed carving on groomers. I don't know what my problem was the first time. These skis are amazing. Highly recommended
Comment on this review:
SkiTrab Vario bindings, Pomoca skins. Going on 3rd season. I had the version before with a single plate and they broke on me, but Movement and SkiMo were very helpful getting me into a new pair quickly and for free! I think perhaps they went a bit too light with the earlier version, this new version is much better reinforced with "double plate reinforcement" at the mounting area.
How do they behave? They cruise well at 50+ mph on groomers, yet they are agile and handle powder like a dream, and light enough for the 20-mile all-day Spring tours. A great all-around choice for a one-ski quiver. This is actually my first backcountry ski purchase. Again, as with my bindings, it was a huge leap of faith to get something so ridiculously light! But they have held up well. Needless to say, I'd look to the other reviews for how they behave and I generally agree with their comments.
The light coverage of this 2020/2021 season has taken a beating to these skis. I've hit tons of rocks, logs, stumps etc. and I was sure I had a good core shot or two, but they have miraculously survived. The edges need some tuning. Gotta bring them by SkiMo for some love once this season is over!

Hey,
Which ski in your Alp Tracks line will perform best for All-Mountain skiing? Along a different line, which is best suited for ski mountaineering? I currently ride the Camox Freebird and love it but am looking for another weapon in my ski quiver for steeper missions.
Thank you!

Hey Paris, I'd say either the Alp Tracks 100 or the Alp Tracks 95. The 100 is a great ski that performs really well in deeper conditions and is pretty solid all around. If you're looking for something with a little more camber that'll be a little more aggressive in spring/early season conditions the 95 could potentially be the better choice. For ski mountaineering I'd go with the Movement Alp Tracks 85.

I got a pair of these in 185 with Atomic Backland Tour bindings and some Pomoca S-Glide Pro skins in mid March and toured on them about 20 days from then til late May. Lots of powder of varying density, some corn, and some firm stuff here and there. The Alp Tracks 100 really did do it all. They aren't exactly a playful ski, but they are very versatile, and like everyone here says, you can rail them on the firm in spite of being (to me, anyway) insanely light. I wouldn't want to spend all day skiing them on straight hardpack if I could avoid it, but that's not what I ski uphill for. I was worried that they would be a bummer in deepish pow (12-18"), but I was wrong. It's not a casual ski – it definitely behaves best when you ski it with purpose (and for sure when you get aggressive).
I rolled the dice on these (it was early COVID times, so I couldn't demo), and I was very happy with the result. And man are they light!

Update: after 30,000 feet of early-season skinning in the 20/21 season... I still freakin love these boards! And arc'ing them at 55mph on a PC dawn patrol, they feel as solid and capable as my Mantra M5's.
Comment on this review:
With a full season on the Alp Tracks 100, I can finally do a review.
I got these to be my everyday ski, which here in the Wasatch means a powder ski, but this season I am still skiing and exposing them to all kinds of spring/summer conditions.
The 5-Axis carbon and wood core yield a moderately stiff ski except for the rockered tip. Along with its flat tail, it doesn't look like a powder loving ski next to, say, my DPS Wailer 112s. But I have yet to be disappointed. Making old style 'how many turns can I make' quick turns to carving arcs, they do what I want. I have only resorted to the Wailers on days when the snow density reaches low single digits and the snow stake reads over 2 feet.
Spring has yielded just as much fun. Skiing chutes in all conditions, no problem. Ripping high-speed groomers after the resort has closed (thanks, Alta) shows how amazing these are. At speed, you settle into the carve and they grip. If you fall back a little, the stiff tail just picks me up. I've been hitting some serious sun cupped and runneled south slopes and not getting unnecessarily tossed around -- although I would choose to hit them after they have sufficiently softened.
I'm 5'10", 155lbs and a fairly aggressive/high-speed skier. I got the 177cm. Was considering the 170 to shave weight, but if you have powder in mind, get the 177. Mounted with Titan Vario.2, the combo comes in at1500g. Sweet as can be!
