Named after Flute Bowl at Whistler, where steep lines are a mere 30-minute bootpack away (or 45 if you skipped coffee that morning). The Flute is Prior’s answer to the need for a quiver-of-one backcountry ski. The shape blends a rockered powder tip and tail with traditional underfoot camber, moderately long sidecut, sweet flex, and a squared tail. The result is a ski that slays it in the powder and still has a enough bite for everyday use on Whistler in-bound chunder and hardpack.

- Quadraxial glass and carbon composite layers makes for a responsive and damp ski
- Vertically laminated maple woodcore makes it light and responsive
- Early rise in the tip and tail combined with a traditional camber underfoot provides stability and turning ease in all snow conditions
- Rubber Foil dampening reduces chatter when riding fast on hardpack
- Durable, impact-resistant UHMW polyethylene sidewalls
- Tough Rockwell 48 steel edges are easy to tune
- Durasurf 4001 sintered base is fast and very durable
