The full sandwich construction provides tons of pop and stability for stomping the biggest jumps, massive airs, long rails and lots of fun on the slopes and in the side- and backcountry. Titanal increases the durability for heavy use. The most versatile ski in the Nightstick family is the perfect companion for a creative day of skiing in the side and backcountry, in the park and on the piste. No matter where you want to live out your creativity, the Nightstick 97 is the perfect all-rounder for all needs.
