Most skiers don’t make a lot of short radius turns on groomed runs because, A) the terrain doesn’t require short turns to maintain speed control, and B) short turns are easily mistaken for work.  The Code Speedwall S UVO solves the second problem by being simplicity itself to coax into a short turn.  The more energy the skier pours into to it, the more the Code S replies in kind.  “Tons of energy,” confirmed the high octane Corty Lawrence from Footloose.  “Rewards stronger skiers: super predictable, playful and “bouncy,” he adds.

While the Code S isn’t that fussy a ski for a slalom-hearted carver, if it could dictate the pilot’s behavior instead of the other way around, it would set the skier’s boots 8 inches apart and order up an unbroken ribbon of short radius turns.  To encourage this behavior, the Code S uses the UVO shock-damping device to absorb any vibrations that might ruffle the edge’s serenity.
