Movement Trust - Winter 2015/16 Freeride Ski

The Movement Trust is without question the most radical ski in Movement’s Freeride collection, offering precision and power that is unmatched. This ski loves to be pushed and excels at higher speeds where it chews up any terrain.


At 108mm underfoot and boasting a long rocker tip, the Trust floats beautifully in the fresh stuff and accelerates quickly on open pitches when the skier wants to just let it rip. In more interrupted terrain, the smaller sizes are recommended, with the 194cm being reserved for the expert-end of the freeride market.

Specs:

EPL Wood Core: The EPL (Ecological Light Poplar) wood core uses less glue in its construction than other wood cores on the market.

Features:

CTS Performance Construction: The Control Torsion System is Movement’s process to link the base and cap of the ski to the tip and tail in order to stiffen the torsion of the ski.

P-TEX 4000: The P-TECH 4000 base the “motor” that drives this ski. For this reason, Movement only uses top-of-the-range synthetic bases with very high molecular density. This type of base is highly resistant to abrasion and impacts while remaining serviceable. The P-TEX 4000 is factory-prepared with a lightly structured finish and hot wax to make the ski ready to use straight off the shelf. The finishing itself is done with the latest Montana and Wintersteiger machines.

VA-Tech: The VA-Tech vibration absorber is a natural rubber plate placed towards the tip of the ski in order to absorb vibrations.  

Profile:

Twin Rocker: The Twin Rocker profile delivers an exaggerated length and height of rocker on both tip and tail that allows the ski to pivot easily and float effortlessly in powder. The ski still has a good contact zone in the center with plenty of edge to keep grip and maintain stability at speed.

Construction:

Top Sheet: Movement skis are built with top sheets that meet the industry standard (ICP 8210) that guarantees the best quality out there. The upper layer of the top-sheet is a highly resistant polyamide, which is made up of two thermally bonded layers. The top sheet then has an anti-UV treatment and anti-stick coating (to repel snow - particularly important in the touring range).

Rubber Structure: All of the vulnerable areas of the ski (edges, tip and tail) are reinforced with a waterproof rubber layer that protects from shocks and seals the ski. These layers also serve to absorb vibrations and stop the infiltration of water into the ski’s core, which can cause delamination and eventually the destruction of the ski.

ABS: The ABS sections (a synthetic material with fibreglass particles) act as shock absorbers when skiing on hard snow or ice.

More about Movement Skis: Movement sees the mountain as one big playground - ski touring opens up new terrain and skiing areas that simply aren’t accessible from the lifts, which is why this area of the market is growing fast. Movement has focused on reducing the weight of the skis by developing different wood core combinations and fiber constructions, while maintaining the goal of creating a high-performance ski that is also durable and fun to ride. They also brought in new shapes and Rocker outlines to this range to make them even more exciting during the descent.
