Whitewalker 116 Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve never skied anything that feels quite like the Whitewalker 116. They’re insanely light underfoot but still feel planted when you’re blasting through chopped-up pow. The Smear Tech tips and tails let you pivot and slash in deep snow effortlessly. If you want a ski that’s playful but can still handle big terrain at speed, this is it."

Who It’s For

Advanced to Expert Powder and Freeride Skiers:

The Whitewalker 116 is designed for skiers who thrive in deep snow and big terrain but want a freestyle-inspired feel. Perfect for riders chasing storm cycles, pillow lines, and switch-friendly powder skiing with a creative edge.

What It’s For

Powder Freestyle and Big-Mountain Exploration:

With a 116mm waist, AR Freestyle Rocker, and Smear Tech beveling, the Whitewalker is made for powder stashes, natural features, and technical descents. It balances float and agility with enough stability to charge big lines at speed.

Why We Like It

Float, Playfulness, and Confidence in Deep Snow:

We like the Whitewalker 116 because it blends Sammy Carlson’s playful style with big-mountain capability. The lightweight Caruba Core saves energy on the skintrack, while the rocker and Smear Tech design keep it surfy and loose in powder. Despite the light weight, it still feels planted when charging through chop—making it one of the most versatile powder skis out there.
