G3 Slayr 114 Swift

The Slayr 114 Swift is a whopping new backcountry ski from G3, designed for smaller users who may or may not be women!

While we know that Covid-19 is making those once-in-a-lifetime trips a bit tricky to plan at the moment, we reckon you might as well get suited and backcountry booted so that you’re ready to rock when that powder light goes go-go-go green again!

With 114mm to play with underfoot and just 1500g per ski to carry up the skin track, the new Slayr 114 Swift is rapidly becoming our ski of choice for the next Japow/BC/deep-ass big mountain adventure. Fabulously fat and seriously light, it looks exactly like the kind of ski we’re going to need when we’re shredding lap after lap of life-affirming cold smoke.

The combination of G3’s ultra-light custom wood core, PU sidewalls, carbon fibre construction and titanal layers makes for a seriously strong, light, damp and powerful ski. Combine this with the Slayr 114 Swift’s flat camber with early rise tip and tail and you’re looking at an accessible energetic powder performer that should hold firm when you’re ripping long turns at speed in the backcountry.

They also come with G3’s super-funky magnetic contact points on the bases, so you can slap ‘em together swiftly and securely when you’re bootpacking – no faffing with ski straps here!

Will they justify their primo price tag – we’ll report back once we’ve let ‘em rip!
