Ski Trab Gara Pro Ski
If you want to win, it helps to have award-winning gear backed by years of R&D and TLC. The Ski Trab Gara Pro ski is just that. Carrying over the same camber, rocker, and sidecut as the retiring Gara Aero WC ski, still made with a geometrical aramid honeycomb core, the Gara Pro's soul is reinforced by Ski Trab's renowned 14-layer construction. The impeccable layer-cake provides torsional support and vibration control along the edges to reduce chatter throughout the ski. Encapsulating the inner aramid is a carbon cage, allowing the ski to maintain shape and torsionally flex appropriately during carving descents. Edge bridges span the width between the ski's edges; these bridges increase durability and protect the sidewall from impacts. Between the cage and bridge are the composite aramid honeycomb and wood core, allowing the Gara Pro to come in at a feather-like weight and increasing the construction strength throughout the ski's profile. A predictable torsional flex strikes a refined balance between a traditionally stiff race ski and one that flexes intuitively to the skier's pressure, maintaining edge contact throughout a turn. An early rise in the tip reduces contact with the snow when gliding on ascents, and a longer, tapered tail allows the skis to fit in your ski carry with no fuss. On the downhill, this gradual tip-and-tail rise increases the ski's flotation in softer snow and improves its handling in variable conditions. The tapered tail gives a more intuitive exit from your turns. Lastly, the 52 HRC steel edges bite into ice and withstand daily abuse on and off the race course. If you're hoping to make the podium or set your personal FKT, the Ski Trab Gara (Race) has proven itself time and again as a top-of-the-line ski with unwavering torsional stability in a unique, precisely tuned package.
- 14-layer construction makes the ski perfectly balanced throughout its length.
- 52 HRC steel edges will chew through just about anything - other than granite!
- Aramid honeycomb core keeps the weight minimal while increasing stiffness and rebound.
- High-modulated carbon cage allows for shape retention while also flexing to maintain edge contact on hard carves.
- Strategic bridge between left and right edges increases durability of the ski from side to side.
- High-density race bases are durable and feature an exquisite pattern.
- Ski Trab keeps its 1st-place position as a podium contender.
