The 84 is the mountaineering specialty ski of the Movement Alp Tracks line. Using the same advanced construction techniques found in the 94, 100, and 106, this steep skiing weapon is built to perform on the up and the down. Amazingly lightweight yet stable, the Alp Tracks 84 is a ski you can rely on to travel far and get back home. For edge hold on the steeps, Movement added an ABS shock-absorbing sidewall and variable thickness edges. Vibrations are reduced with a rubber & fiberglass mixture in the tip so you can feel confident when turns matter. The ski has the same shape and profile as the Vertex-X, which was named “Touring Ski of the Year” in Italy. The flat-ish spots in the tip and tail are helpful in the steeps, and the light rocker and gently curved tail seem to do what you want. This version saves a little weight versus the X-version, due to the intensive squeezing process used to finish the skis. The manual steps are time consuming and thus the skis are only being made in a Limited Edition (LT) run. This ski rocks.
- ABS Shock Absorber is an underfoot sidewall that adds strength.
- Tour Edges vary in thickness along the ski, strong here, light there.
- VA-Tech Rubber + fiberglass layer in the tips absorbs vibration.
- Double Plate Reinforcement is a multi-layered fiber screw zone.
- Impact-resistant P-Tex 5000 is a fast, high-end base material.
- Karuba wood cores were sourced with FCS & PEPS certifications.
Update 2018/19: This ski was replaced in Movement's lineup with the AT 85.
