Candide BC 111 Ski Set + Bindings

The unisex Candide BC 111 skis are designed for expert skiers looking for a freeride alpine ski capable of handling both challenging off-piste descents and on-piste runs. They combine a 111 mm waist width, a lightweight reinforced wood core, and a double rocker to deliver both floatation and precision. Their adaptive rocker profile and multiple radii are designed for controlled handling across varied terrain. You’ll enjoy a powerful, stable, yet responsive ski, tailored for serious backcountry skiing.

Candide BC 111 Skis: A Versatile Freeride Option for Experts

The Candide BC 111 skis are unisex alpine skis designed for freeride and backcountry freestyle, with a skill level clearly geared toward expert skiers. With a 111 mm waist width, they fall into the category of wide skis designed for deep snow and varied terrain, while still maintaining on-piste performance. The traditional camber combined with a double rocker—at the tip and tail—promotes both float in off-piste conditions and precise control. Their directional shape enhances control during the descent, making them particularly well-suited for challenging mountain runs. This gives you an alpine ski designed to explore the terrain while providing reliable feedback underfoot.

Width, rocker, and triple radius: control and float in varied terrain

The geometry of the Candide BC 111 skis is based on dimensions of 141-111-135 mm, with a sidecut radius of 20/35/22 m, which demonstrates the use of a Triple Radius Sidecut to adjust the ski’s behavior according to the phase of the turn. This distribution of distinct radii between the tip, center, and tail helps create a fluid turn entry, a stable mid-turn, and a powerful turn exit, which benefits both long, open slopes and changes in pace. The adaptive rocker profile—with 505 mm of rocker at the tip, 485 mm at the tail, and 1 mm of camber underfoot—is designed to optimize float in off-piste conditions while maintaining an effective contact area. Expert skiers thus benefit from a ski that remains stable at high speeds and proves playful as soon as the terrain becomes more challenging.

Wood core construction, fiber reinforcements, and high-performance base

At the heart of these freeride skis lies an FSC-certified paulownia and poplar wood core, which offers a good balance between lightness and structure, enhancing maneuverability and precision on the slopes. This core is wrapped in fiberglass and carbon, a technical construction that enhances the ski’s stiffness while keeping weight down, for a feel that’s both stable and responsive at high speeds. The construction incorporates heat-treated steel edges to ensure long-lasting grip, which is especially useful in areas with harder or rutted snow. The P-Tex 4000 base is designed for fast, long-lasting glide, which directly contributes to the fluidity of your runs on both cold and more varied snow conditions. Finally, the shatter-resistant Corund top coating protects the topsheet to preserve the ski’s appearance and durability season after season, while the bio-based epoxy resin helps reduce the use of petrochemical materials.

A unisex platform suited for the backcountry

Weighing approximately 1,900 g per ski in the standard size, the Candide BC 111 skis remain lightweight for their category, making it easier to string together turns and tackle longer approaches on freeride routes. Their sandwich construction and open interface without an integrated binding plate provide a reliable technical foundation for backcountry downhill skiing. The fact that they are unisex allows a wide range of expert skiers to experience the same performance, simply by choosing the right size from the available lengths. This gives you a freeride alpine ski designed to make the most of the mountain, from the edge of the piste to vast, untouched slopes.

The Candide BC 111 skis combine a versatile freeride profile, a reinforced wood core construction, and a carefully engineered geometry to meet the expectations of expert skiers seeking power, stability, and float.
