This all adds up to create a more predictable and balanced ski that allows you to get into turns earlier and exit them cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTo increase the consistency through turns and create tighter turning capabilities, the Senate now has a reduced thickness in the sidewall, keeping the ski more connected in the turn, while the edge angle and a sharper bevel through the nose, mellowing through the tail keep the ski where you need it in the turn, stopping tail blowouts while maintaining the balance and drive to help you finish through the turn. The final aspect of this ski is the speed control, keeping the naturally fast Senate staple that it has become known for, but with the updated sharper edge bevel now allowing the ski to decelerate better into the turns for greater control throughout the entire ski performance from the start to the end of the turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe PVC core remains a highly reactive foam that reacts 10 times faster than its PU graphite counterpart.
