Do you want to have a skiing experience that makes it feel like you’re flying? Well that’s what Palmer Snowboards is aiming at when they developed their FLF shape designed skis. This snowboard company knows about skis and what makes a high-performance ski that ensures that the confidence is maintained by reducing the chances of catching an edge that could trip you up.
The idea is that the skis are made with smaller sidecuts to aid the turning experience. The technology has been dubbed FLF which stands for “Feels Like Flying” and are meant to make turning easier while not being too aggressive which would put undue pressure on the knees.
Palmer has used its snowboard experience to develop a ski that puts the skier in control the entire time. Control and performance is paramount and FLF delivers both. The edge is in contact with the snow at a rate that is more optimal, reducing nose edge pressure easing the chances that the nose will be pushed into the snow. There’s less snow resistance and the power is transferred to the edge of the ski letting you maintain your speed and your control.
It is said that you can actually feel FLF work as you power through the turns, giving you the control to increase the ability to accelerate and brake when necessary. It sounds as though this snowboard company has brought its reputation for innovation to the ski industry with the kind of ski that many should be clamoring to get hold of.
