Citadel 107 | 2027

The Citadel 107 is a big-mountain charger that thrives in demanding terrain and opts for a strong approach down fall line, rather than methodical one. It has a directional backbone and a clear preference for speed, but there's a level of nimbleness that makes it more versatile than most skis in this category.

On piste, the ski feels most at home when you open it up. It settles into big, arcing turns with a calm, composed feel, holding an edge confidently without feeling overly demanding. There's a smoothness to the ride that stands out, especially at higher speeds, where the ski tracks predictably while staying quiet underfoot. Though it does prefer longer turns, the lighter weight makes it easier to transition into shorter turns or release the edge when needed, adding a bit of versatility in tight terrain.

In mixed and variable conditions, the ski maintains that same composed feel. It moves through chop with minimal deflection and keeps vibration to a minimum, adding to overall confidence when conditions are less than perfect. The rigid build becomes more noticeable in bumps and tighter terrain, but it never feels like the ski can't handle what's in front of it. Instead, it just requires a bit more intention from the skier.

Where the Citadel 107 really stands out is in wide open terrain off piste. The combination of float, stability and low vibration makes it built for powder days, big lines and high-speed descents. It has the presence of a true big-mountain ski, without the usual weight and fatigue that come with that category.

Overall, the Citadel 107 is best suited for skiers who like to ski fast from bell to bell, but still want something that feels light underfoot. While it leans toward a more directional, hard-charging style, it offers just enough guts to make it a strong option for bigger mountain resort skiing and even a hybrid touring setup.
