Skis comparison — 2014-2015 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both target powder terrain, while the Surface Ruess leans more freeride. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Surface Lab has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Surface Ruess uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). At $159 vs $449.95 MSRP, the Surface Lab is the more budget-friendly option.
