Attitude Adjustment

“Carving skis have revitalized skiing, but at the same time they have made skiing more aggressive and faster than ever,” says Dr. med. Georg Ahlbäumer of Klinik Gut, St. Moritz, the national secretary of Switzerland's International Society for Skiing Safety.

When you tip carving skis on edge, they will immediately start turning because of the smaller sidecuts, which makes turning easier and faster. But the more aggressive sidecuts also increase the risk of catching an edge. The higher speeds also send increased force across the joints, which can lead to more severe knee ligament injuries.

Palmer’s new FLF shape design is getting rid of that joy-killing, confidence-sapping, pain-driven and exhausting skiing experience, and instead delivering speed, performance and race-like qualities.

FLF, which stands for "Feels Like Flying," offers a snowboard-driven freeskiing experience - fun, joyful, cool, relaxed, effortless and always comfortably in control - making it easier to perform at any level.

Palmer and FLF are connecting skiers with fun and effortless riding - having a good time, instead of hurting their bodies and risking injury due to uncontrollable speed. FLF brings back the fun and motivation for skiing … Feels Like Flying!
