The Tubby 120s are playful powder skis built for slashing the deepest powder, dropping into the trees, and riding big lines. They are a fully rockered twintip that will make your entire season after your first turns the the deep stuff. The Tubby 120s go anywhere, and ski everything: BIG MOUNTAIN JIB.
They're perfect for you if you want a true powder ski to round out your quiver and make the best days even better. You want to pop between pow turns and leave your friends in the dust. You want the awesome surfy feeling of a ski without camber. You are probably constantly watching the radar and and are calling in sick on the deep days.
Haven't you waited long enough?! Get on a pair of Tubby 120s and you'll feel like you're bouncing on a trampoline between pow turns. They'll still rail on groomers, so you don't have to worry about making it back to the lift.
Do whatever you have to do. Give yourself an excuse this year - grab a pair and finally take that trip. We promise - it'll be worth it!

- Fully Rockered Tip + Tail maximize flotation in powder and rail through crud.

MidLight Construction
Core
Laminated Ash/Poplar Hardwood: Long grain premium White Ash and Tulip Poplar is hand selected and cut into full length strips. Strips are individually flex indexed and laminated together symmetrically. Each laminated core is CNC milled to a precise thickness profile developed for each model and length.
Composites
Unidirectional Carbon Fiber strips below the core, lightweight Triaxial Fiberglass above and beneath the core, Fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock solid bonding.
Sidewall
Full height UHMW - the same raw material as your base, bombproof and double chamfered for reduced swingweight. A rounded mini-cap top edge rolls over the sidewall to protect your topsheets.
Topsheet
Clearview gloss Nylon with sublimated graphics and transparent windows to inside the ski.
Base + Edge
1.4 mm CNC Knife Cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm over-sized and heat treated edges take a beating. Please note, Base colors are swapped every other pair (black into red, red into black).

Blog Post About How to Size and Select Skis
Here's a basic chart to get you started:
Sizing skis is a little bit of an art and a little bit of a science. There are numerous factors that all affect the optimal ski length for you.
A few of the factors are:
- Skier size and weight
- Skier ability (experts size up, beginners size down)
- Type of terrain you like
- Where you normally ski
- Current ski size
The list could go on and on, but if you need help with the decision, always feel free to call us at 231.459.4323, live chat, or email us!

What length should I get?
The Tubby 120s have heavy tip/tail rocker and a forgiving flex. If you are between two sizes - you can easily size up. Check out our size chart in the previous tab for more info.
What bindings should I get?
You can use any binding on the Tubby 120s as long as the brake width is at least 120 mm wide. We run Marker Griffon bindings on our demo skis. Visit your local ski shop for bindings and mounting.

The Rundown
Ride Notes: Super playful, forgiving, and float like a dream. Not my go-to for hardpack, but whenever there's soft snow - I won't grab anything else!
Design Needs: Maximum flotation - soft tip that deflects in powder - grip when on groomers - full rocker for float and maneuverability
Purpose: Make a dedicated powder ski that will maximize the fun-factor on powder days. Don't sacrifice flotation for versatility - we've got other skis for that! Build them to make every day in powder your most memorable one.
