Model Year: 2011-2012

An aspen and paulownia wood core, All-Terrain Rocker, and an ideal waist width all combine to give you the perfect ski for plowing puff. And for riding rock-solid groomers. And for plunging the back bowls on a snow day. To put it bluntly, the Rictor is a one-quiver ski. With Integrated Hubs for direct energy transfer and Hybritech construction for smooth, accurate turning, you'll be amazed at the versatility these skis have to offer. You'll get the optimum profile for expert-level riding from sunup to sundown...and beyond!

Mod Technology - High-Performance Suspension System
Mod functions by absorbing vibrations and impact loads along the entire ski, providing stronger edge-hold and a higher degree of power and control. Mod is a secondary core that flexes and moves on top of the primary core, allowing the overall ski flex to be unaffected.

Men’s-Specific Mod Structure
The optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women. The men’s Mod structure is more X-shaped, distributing mass to the perimeter for increased edge-hold. The thickest part of the Mod structure in the fore body includes a new technology window.

Mod Monic - A Focused Mass-Dampener
The Monic is a solid zinc mass that works in conjunction with the Mod structure to focus mass-dampening at a targeted location.

Men’s-specific Mod Monic
Although the precise location of the Mod Monic is consistent between our men’s and women’s models, the measured amount of focused mass is different. The men’s Mod Monic is slightly heavier and X-shaped to further complement the Mod structure form.

Marker K2/MX System
Working in conjunction with the integrated hubs, the Marker K2/MX provides unmatched precision and control on our highest-end A.M.P. models. The system uses Marker’s Inter-Pivot Heel technology and new lightweight Triple-Pivot Comfort MX toe for an even wider footprint than the previous MX. This new toe comes with a cross-mounted spring, stainless steel AFD, and backward release function.

Marker K2/M3 System
The Marker K2/M3 is the ultimate ski/plate/binding system designed for recreational skiers. It utilizes a new Compact Toe and a fixed Compact2 Heel design to generate more power, precision and quickness underfoot in a 20% lighter design. The Marker K2/M2 system’s sleek design is graphically integrated into the look of the A.M.P. Series skis.  

Hybritech Technology
Hybritech is a unique blend of sidewall and cap construction. The construction combines the accuracy and power performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics and smooth turn initiation of cap construction.

Carbon Web
Enveloping the mod structure with a carbon weave where the strands of carbon are laid at precise angle for an additional level of torsional rigidity on the secondary core.  This keeps the ski light but gives you the additional torsional strength where you need it most.

Glass Web
Enveloping the Mod structure in a secondary glass weave for additional torsional rigidity provides a more forgiving and versatile version of the Carbon Web.

Integrated Hub Technology
Titanal hubs are imbedded into the core of the ski for the most direct transmission of power. The system hubs are functionally wider with a 50mm footprint, which decreases the distance between the binding and the edge of the ski for added performance.

M3 Plate
New for 2011/12 is a completely redesigned M3 plate that is lower, lighter and wider for a more effective transfer of power from the boot to the ski for better control and confidence.
