Who it's for: Skiers who grew up spinning and jibbing but aren't spending most of their days in a park anymore — what Salomon calls the post-park skier. You still see the mountain like a freestyler: every side hit, every natural feature, every bit of terrain that looks like fun. You just don't need foam pits, coaching, and perfectly groomed jumps to enjoy it. The DéPART .01 is built to bring that accessibility and fun back to freestyle skiing — the way it felt before park skiing turned into an elite-level sport. If you love to spin and jib but have no intention of competing, this is your ski.

The DéPART .01 is built around the FS Park Profile (23/57/20) — a nearly symmetric rocker profile that makes the ski feel loose, playful, and easy to spin or butter in both directions, without going full twin. At 104–106mm underfoot it floats on a powder day and handles variable snow well enough that you can stay in creative mode rather than survival mode. This is a ski that makes the whole mountain the park.

Full Sandwich Sidewall construction and a Karuba/Poplar Full Woodcore give it a damp, solid feel underfoot that's rare in a ski this playful — it's not a chattery, noodly park ski, it's a well-built all-mountain freestyle ski with real edge hold and Ti Binding Reinforcement to back it up. The Wide Steel Edge adds durability for a ski that'll see rails, rocks, and everything in between.

In stock in all three lengths at Attridge Ski & Board in Vernon — a staff favourite for freestyle-minded skiers who want to make the whole mountain their playground.
