fantasy draft pick by Caroline Schou

2011 Faction The Royale Skis

Description: The Royale became our most popular ski last winter. Dual 15/300mm rocker front and rear, and 122mm waist for maximum versatility and float for skiing normal and switch. Semi-stiff flex lets you retain control in all conditions—surprisingly damp and stable at speed. Mount center for BC freestyle, normal for all-mountain powder.

Skier’s Choice Draft Pick | Round 1, 1st Pick by Caroline Schou
The best powder ski I rode all last winter. Dropping into waist-deep blower, the tip and tail rocker allows you to not only float but bounce around in the powder–they are super playful. The Royale (in my preferred length of 183cm) is also easily maneuverable in the tight but often tracked-up trees of Jackson’s Rock Springs Bowl, and lets you send it straight through the narrower spots.
