What ON3P says about the Billy Goat 118 Tour
“The Billy Goat 118 Tour is an uphill / downhill pow-farming menace. For 2024, we've extended our trademark RES (Reverse Elliptical Sidecut) into the tips for a less boxy, more drivable sidecut, capable of adjusting on-the-fly to pilot feedback. We also cinched some tail length, which allows for better mount proportions to drive into the forefoot, and improve responsiveness. We kept the flatter tail of its predecessor for strong tail support, and both lowered the camber and pushed its apex forward for a more predictable ride in the face of unpredictable terrain – the Billy Goat 118 Tour blurs the limits of line choice as far as you're willing to go.
As part of our three-ski touring collection, the Billy Goat 118 Tour features our custom Tour Layup, which saves a pound per ski without sacrificing our signature dampness or durability. Featuring our custom 2800 hybrid fiberglass/carbon composite, proprietary bamboo-pawlonia hybrid cores, full length UHMW sidewalls, 1.4mm Durasurf 4001 base, and 2x2mm edge, the Billy Goat Tour is uphill-capable for strong skiers who value downhill speed and stability equally to their ascent.”
