Taking the same energy that their large radius skis deliver and repacking it into an energetic all-mountain machine, the Kendo 88 is an energetic frontside ski that can hold its own on the rest of the mountain.

It’s in the running for the best mogul ski out there, but is a ton of fun to ride regardless.

Though you can let the Kendo off leash and play around in variable snow, where it really shines is hardpack and moguls. It’s a great option for proficient skiers who either don’t see many huge storms, or have a sizable quiver and want something more specialized for mid-season dry spells.

Notable Features

Tailored Carbon Tips: Precision-placed carbon fibers yield big performance results near the tips of the ski. More intentional placement of carbon stringers allows skis greater play up front for performance benefits in a range of conditions.

3D Radius Sidecut: Variable sidecut is designed to make it easier to perform multiple turn shapes. Tips and tails are tailored for long turns while a shorter radius underfoot makes shorter turns at low speed easier.
