2011 O’Brien Elite Alpha slalom ski
2011 O’Brien Elite Alpha slalom ski
O’Brien’s all-new state-of-the-art high-end slalom ski, the 2011 O’Brien Elite Alpha features O’Brien’s new Resin Transfer Molding process, which wraps the O’Brien Elite Alpha’s ultra-low-density, lightweight PVC core with aerospace carbon fiber before vacuuming all the air from the mold and injecting a high-grade epoxy resin. The lack of any voids or air pockets results in a consistent flex, rocker and weight, and the fully wrapped carbon with no flash lines makes the O’Brien Elite Alpha up to 50 percent stronger than compression-molded skis. The Andy Mapple-engineered flex pattern of the O’Brien Elite Alpha features a longer area for the ski to flex right in the center of the flat spot, which yields a much larger “sweet spot.”
Sizes: 65.5”, 67”, 68.5”
