La Machine 3 2026

The La Machine 3 touring ski unlocks the broadest range of lightweight backcountry itineraries. It is our 109mm-width option in the middle of our ultra-light carbon-loaded La Machine family. The La Machine 3 holds its own when conditions far off the grid can vary widely between floating in powder and navigating sharky hard-pack. Its progressive, rockered shape allows for hook-free pivoting and surfing across any snow you may encounter on your ski-touring adventures, with minimal weight penalty. You'll love this ski if... You want extended tip and tail rocker for effortless turn initiation You need a super-light free-touring ski for long expeditions You need a floaty ski that easily surfs above variable snow conditions in the backcountry You want a premium, carbon-loaded ski for torsional strength on the downhill, without the bulk
