About the Agent series

The Agent Series is built in the image of 'The Wandering Spirit'. Since their debut, the Agent Series of hybrid freetouring skis have won over thousands of skiers with their exceptional downhill performance in a lightweight build. Built with a Karuba wood core for responsive, rebounding flex and a carbon weave to boost rigidity and stability, the Agent Series skis are a close friend whether they're mounted with a pin binding, hybrid or full-alpine binding setup. Each member of the series unlocks on-grid and off-grid skiing, ranging from backcountry deep treasures to spring couloir missions.
