The Salomon Gemma is a lightweight and snappy ski for the advanced to expert skier that will spend the majority of their time on the frontside of the mountain, but will venture off the groomers once in a while when the conditions are prime. Salomon's Comfortech uses vibration dampening fibers that are placed underneath the toe and heel piece of the bindings that will smooth out the ride for you in challenging conditions. Carve Rocker uses a small amount of rocker in the tip for fast turn initiation, with camber underfoot that springs you into your next turn and grips the snow with ease. The Control Frame Technology has a unique 3D shape that extends the grip of the Gemma at the contact points that allows you to drive edges into the snow just like a carving ski, but with a much more versatile profile. Salomon's Light Density Woodcore and a layer of Basalt are a perfect combination of power and finesse that will keep you coming back for more, run after run!
