For skiers who appreciate the “art of the carve” and who like to refine their turns on sun-kissed corduroy, this is the category for you. These recreational carvers are usually narrower than 85mm underfoot, with shapes that focus on locking into arcs instead of skidding. Their constructions generally make them stiffer and more torsionally rigid than frontside skis.

Note: Some of these skis profile as recreational race skis, while others lean more in a more casual frontside direction.
