About the Salomon Depart.02

What is the Salomon Depart.02 Skis good for?

The Salomon Depart.02 handles park features, side hits, and freestyle lines where creativity and technical control matter most. The tip and tail rocker profile with super short radius provides precise spin initiation and pivot control for both switch and regular riding. This ski delivers explosive pop in the tip and tail for maximum amplitude on jumps and transitions. The 6/10 flex rating offers forgiveness on landings while maintaining enough stiffness for takeoff power. This is a must-have for progressive freestyle skiing.

This is a statement piece for advanced skiers who prioritise self-expression and technical freestyle performance over traditional all-mountain objectives. It works for park riders mastering rail work, kicker sessions, and creative line selection throughout the resort. The design accommodates skiers who ride switch frequently and demand symmetrical performance for progression in terrain parks and natural features.

This ski performs in terrain parks with rails, boxes and jump lines where trick execution requires precision. It handles side hits, natural features, and all-mountain freestyle exploration beyond designated park zones. The Salomon Depart.02 works across various snow conditions, from groomed park features to powder stashes where playful riding matters. This ski absolutely crushes freestyle terrain while maintaining versatility for creative mountain exploration.

The Karuba-Poplar Full Wide Steel Edge Woodcore construction maximises liveliness and stability while filtering vibrations during impacts. Furthermore, the wide steel edge increases durability and impact resistance, protecting the core from damage when hitting rocks or rails during aggressive park sessions. The Full Sandwich Sidewalls guarantee stability and precision through enhanced edge grip and smooth ski-to-snow contact for technical manoeuvres. Additionally, the Twin Tip construction enables switch riding and backward landings whilst providing balanced performance for freestyle tricks. The Ti Binding Reinforcement features a titanal insert edge-to-edge underfoot that improves torsional stiffness and power transmission to the edges when riding on hard snow. These features make this a must-have for riders demanding real performance you can count on.

Salomon's extensive heritage in ski manufacturing ensures this product addresses the specific requirements of modern freestyle skiing. The integration of woodcore construction with titanal reinforcement provides durability without sacrificing the playful characteristics essential for park performance.
