Playmaker 101 Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Playmaker 101 is my pick when I want to ski fast, float deep, and still hit side hits with confidence. It’s light and playful, but there’s real backbone underfoot thanks to the carbon tubes and Dual Float design. Whether I’m ripping pow lines or lapping the park, this ski handles it all without ever feeling out of place."

Who It’s For

Freestyle-Oriented All-Mountain Skiers:

The Playmaker 101 is for riders who blend freeride lines with freestyle creativity. It’s ideal for skiers who like to bounce between natural features, powder stashes, and the park, without feeling tied to one style. Intermediate through expert skiers will find the ski approachable yet powerful enough to handle progression.

What It’s For

Powder, Park, and Creative All-Mountain Skiing:

Built for skiers who see the mountain as a playground, the Playmaker 101 thrives in soft snow, side hits, bumps, and terrain parks. Its twin-tip shape, Surf Rocker, and 101mm waist let it pivot easily in powder while staying agile on groomers and firm snow.

Why We Like It

Playfulness Meets Versatility:

We like how the Playmaker 101 combines float, energy, and control in one package. The Dual Float construction lightens swing weight while adding stability underfoot, and the Tubelite wood core with carbon rods keeps things snappy. Whether spinning off natural hits or carving pow turns, it’s a ski that makes the mountain more fun.
