The Raccoon Moosehead is an all-mountain alpine ski designed for experienced skiers who want to explore the entire resort without limiting themselves to a single type of terrain. Designed and manufactured in Quebec, Canada, it offers versatile performance that combines stability on groomed runs with ease in off-piste areas. Its meticulous construction and carefully selected materials make it a reliable tool for those who carve turns on groomed snow in the morning and venture into powder in the afternoon. The Raccoon Moosehead delivers on a clear promise: to offer control and agility on every challenge the mountain has to offer.
All-Mountain Lineup: A Ski That Handles Any Terrain
The Moosehead is designed for advanced skiers looking for an everyday companion capable of adapting to a variety of conditions. On groomed runs, it provides reassuring edge stability that allows you to link turns with precision. As soon as the terrain gets more challenging—whether in fresh snow or on more technical off-piste sections—its handling remains manageable and predictable. This all-mountain design makes it a logical choice for those who don’t want to choose between on-piste performance and the freedom to explore off the beaten path.
Dimensions and radius: a balance between precision and versatility
With a waist width of 89 mm, the Raccoon Moosehead sits right on the line between a narrow on-piste ski and a true all-mountain ski. This width gives it enough contact area to float slightly in fresh snow, while remaining compact enough to bite effectively into hard snow. The full dimensions—129 mm at the tip, 89 mm at the waist, and 104 mm at the tail—create a balanced geometry. The 18-meter turning radius corresponds to a medium-radius turn, suitable for both fluid turns on wide slopes and more dynamic lines in varied terrain.
Hybrid profile: traditional camber and tip rocker
The Moosehead’s profile combines traditional camber underfoot—which ensures solid edge grip and efficient energy transfer when exiting turns—with tip rocker that facilitates turn initiation and improves performance in fresh snow. This hybrid profile avoids extreme compromises: the camber ensures edge stability on hard snow, while the tip rocker reduces the nose-diving effect in powder and makes handling easier in softer terrain. The soft flex at the tips and tails rounds out the package by absorbing terrain irregularities and making it easier to initiate and finish turns.
Construction: poplar core and triaxial lamination
The construction of the Raccoon Moosehead is based on specific technical choices that are worth detailing:
- Poplar core (Raccoon Flex): This lightweight, responsive wood provides good energy return while keeping the overall weight of the ski down.
- Triaxial fiberglass laminate: oriented along three axes, it enhances torsional stiffness and stability without adding weight to the construction.
- Sandwich construction: This classic, proven design ensures direct power transfer and long-lasting durability.
- Ultra-stiff Edge 48-C edges: These ensure crisp grip on hard snow and increased wear resistance.
- Austrian base and topsheet: finishing components that contribute to the ski’s glide and overall longevity.
For an experienced skier who skis in a variety of terrain and wants a ski that performs equally well on groomed runs and during occasional off-piste excursions, the Raccoon Moosehead is a well-rounded and solidly built option. Available in lengths of 171 and 180 cm, it suits a range of body types and skiing styles, with the 2027 collection serving as the model year reference.
