The Reckoner 122 is one of our favorites, taking a freeride approach to a powder ski. In the park or jibbing off of natural features, any season park riders will appreciate this intuitive, twin-tipped design.
The Reckoner 122 is made for powder performance. 122 mm underfoot is nothing to balk at, and they’ll naturally pull to the surface for a loose, forgiving ride that is best appreciated on deeper pow days
These are the skis you want for clean lines in deep snow – but they don’t handle as well as moderate waist Reckoners when conditions aren’t deep. They can feel a little squirrely when you start to pick up speed in lumped-up sluff but shouldn’t be too much trouble if you take it turn by turn. I’d leave them at home on anything less than a stellar powder day. It’s a great powder ski that deserves great conditions.
Notable Features
Double Barrel Core: An aspen core is sandwiched between two fir rails. The aspen keeps weight down while fir adds stability and impact resistance.
Spectral Braid: Variably woven carbon stringers allow for a more fine-tuned feel. A high density weave underfoot adds support- while the weave gradually loosens up towards the tips and tails for more play and flexibility.
