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.
