Lib Technologies Alpine Fat Skis
Alpine Fat Skis commonly feature either a cap construction or a sandwich construction, or a combination of the two, which is called torsion box construction. For skis with cap construction the core material is ‘capped’ by the top layer or ‘top sheet’ of the ski. Sandwich construction by contrast sandwiches a ski’s core material between two ‘walls’ of structure.
Cap Construction
Benefits
- Light weight
- Easier to turn

Benefits
- More durable
- More stable at high speeds
- Easier to repair edge damage
