Kye Petersen attacks any condition or terrain on the mountain with the new S5. Whether it is throwing down switch 10 in the park or skiing bottomless powder, the S5 is all about versatile. The 98mm waist combined with a progressive sidecut gives the rider a huge advantage in soft snow and facilitates hookup on the groomers. The S5 is the KING of "The New School" all mountain skis.
