Why We Like The Weston Skyline Carbon Ski
When mountainscapes replace cityscapes you will find us on the Weston Skyline Carbon Ski. This backcountry touring ski helps us get to the top of remote peaks to ski legendary chutes. They boast a lightweight combination of carbon fiber laminates and a paulownia core to keep our legs fresh on the uphill. In tight chutes, we feel in control thanks to the 95mm waist width and medium turn radius that lets us hop turn through the top and let them run down in the apron.

Quiver of one!

Well almost a quiver of one... I'd still probably want a true powder ski for the really deep days, but short of that I love these skis. I've had a blast on them in up to like 8-10" of fresh snow, and they're also my goto on spring missions. Sure you could get lighter skis, but they're pretty darn light as is, and ski surprisingly well for the size. I haven't seen many skis this narrow still have a large shovel, which helps with the float. If you really want an aggressive ski maybe look elsewhere (looking at you zero g 95), but I find those skis to be overly aggressive. The skylines can be driven, but are still forgiving when you need them to be. The ski a touch short, but at 6' / 175lb, they still felt great.

I've been using this ski as lightweight touring ski in the spring and for the longer midwinter tours. It's just a blast to ride on the down hill. Nice and stiff so it feels quite stable. And with the rocker profile, it skis over boot deep pow just fantastic. And then on the up it's just a machine! So light and easy to move with. It's great to have such a light ski on the up, while it is still stable and fun on the down.

Super fun ski

This is my spring mountaineering ski for the past two seasons. I typically prefer a traditional camber ski for spring missions. What I found with this ski is that I feel confident taking it out regardless of conditions. If we get a surprise pow day, these things give enough float. Wind-board? No problem. Frozen couloir? Yup. Perfectly cooked corn? Forgetaboutit. They are stout enough to manage all types of skiing. Quickness edge-to-edge and a nice turn shape make it playful and fun. Some these characteristics may contribute to being slightly heavier than a traditional mountaineering ski, but I’ll take the smoother skiability over the weight savings anyday.

These skis are awesome all around. While they thrive on firm snow conditions and spring corn, the shovel tips keep you afloat plenty well in powder. I've skied these skis from the Tetons to the Dolomites and can't get enough of them. While a bit heavy for an ultralight spring ski, I think it is worth it as they ski down incredibly well. They are stiff and driveable enough to charge through chunder, and hold an edge excellently. These are 100% my daily driver skis.
