The Wednesday
With us from the beginning, the Wednesday has developed and grown just as its riders have. Our most popular ski, the Wednesday is designed to shine in the park, its natural habitat - yet with a 92mm waist it still performs off-piste.
Now available in two lengths, the flex is a careful combination of feel, rebound, support and float - smooth as silk.
