Enjoy fresh powder in the morning. Rip tight turns on the slope in the afternoon. The re-engineered AX with its new FEC adaptive technology makes it all possible. The more pressure you apply in the turns, the smaller the rocker is, and the correspondingly larger the surface contact area is with the snow. The new Light Core lends the AX even more pop with the same stability.
Who is it for?
Advanced intermediates and up who like the feel of a narrower ski for all-mountain conditions including carving into a few inches of fresh snow.

"Laser AX versions I liked just as well, mounted on the line, for demo. If anything, these seemed quicker and lighter than the ones I own, with no loss of ability. What a ski all round. More and more, for me i'm hooked."
"Hard to imagine an easier going ski with a lot of punch when you need it"
"The AX is a very friendly ski and an intermediate with a good skill set foundation can ski it well without hindering their progression."
Rocker
The longer curvature of the shovel, called rocker technology, is specially adapted for each ski model. This provides better float in powder, less effort, easier to turn on piste, and easier edge control.
Sandwich Sidewall Technology
The ski is built up layer-by-layer, with each layer glued together under pressure - a well-proven manufacturing process in ski construction.
Thid provides optimum energy transfer, optimum precision, and a heavy-duty construction.
Solid Metal Edge
Stockli has started incorporating wider edges in all of its ski models. This not only extends the lifetime of the ski, but it also pays dividends for ski rental services, where the material is subject to particularly harsh use. In addition, the exceptionally robust materials and a clever design protect the ski surface against scratches and damage.
Full Edge Contact
The ski is wider at the tip providing easier and faster turn initiation, and enhanced grip in the turn due to the longer edge contact.
Turtle Grip
Slightly nubby texture creates a matte/shiny surface that imparts an elegant look to the design. The top graphics layer is also rugged.
Adaptive Contact Length
When you combine the FEC and "Tip and Tail" Rocker technology, you get ACL.
The benefit is a greater edge angle which means more of the esge is in contact with the snow, and that results in more grip and stability in turns. The playful feel remains without needing to forgo stability.
Turtle Shell Comfort
The notches in the upper Titanal layer enable simple handling during leisurely skiing. As soon as there is any impact, the Titanal plates interlockto give the ski needed stability. This makes the ski torsionally neutral and smooth at slower speeds, but also very athletic and stable at higher speeds and when under great stress.
