The Vanguard 118 Carbon is powerful and playful, and probably the most fun backcountry freeride ski around. Built for serious backcountry exploration and deep snow performance, it delivers exceptional float in powder while staying composed and trustworthy when conditions firm up. The carbon reinforced layup and lightweight wood core give it energetic rebound, responsive stability, and efficient power transfer without excess weight.
Featuring Majesty’s 4x4 Design Concept and flat camber, the Vanguard 118 Carbon provides smooth turn initiation, balanced handling in variable snow, and confident control in tight terrain. Whether you’re skinning for untracked lines or dropping into steep big-mountain runs, this ski is built to bring maximum joy, lap after lap.
