ABOUT THE SKI
Our best selling skis in it's 13th season and stronger than ever with a slightly modified flex and a ultra-durable build. With the new DOWN carbon layup (sorry we did not have some fancy name) the CD104L is not only for touring but can be used as a daily driver. And yes, the "L" is for lighter, with the magic happening inside the ski: a full paulownia wood core is keeping the all-mountain abilities of its heavier cousin, while giving the the 104L a livelier flex and crisper feel. It's better suited for touring and long days spent logging a lot of vertical.
FREERIDE ROCKER
The ultimate in versatility and smoothness, our freeride rocker profile combines camber underfoot with a low rise, elliptical tip and a nearly flat tail. The underfoot camber gives instant edge grip in tricky conditions and the smooth transition into the tip and tail rocker lets you engage the full effective edge on demand for smooth carving. The low rise, elliptical tip provides full snow contact, punches through uneven snow with minimal deflection and keeps you on top of even the deepest, fluffiest powder.
NEW FOR 2023-2024
The latest version of the CountDown Carbon 104L features significant upgrades in durability and performance. Here's what is NEW for 24-25:
- a light, local source Pauwlonia woodcore; with added strenght underfoot by inserting a rubber-titanal laminated binding insert; this ski is light yet has a very stable platform underfoot
- 1,8mm thick bases replace 1,2mm thick bases: 50% more beef underfoot gives extended product life & more tunability - premium Austrian steel, double annealed and manufactured by Metallwerke Deutsch
- 2,2mm strong edges replace 1,9mm strong edges: better impact resistance, longer life - premium PTEX top-transparent sintered bases from company CPS
- SUPERSAP epoxy: our mix of Supersaps 33% biobased resin with our proprietary hardener; giving superior standards in terms of tensile strenght and impact resistance
- adjusted core profile: we slightly modified the core profile from a somewhat trapezoid-type profile, to a more bell-curve profile. You'll notice a subtle improvement in the fineness of the ski
- MADE IN AUSTRIA

What are B-Grade Skis?
At DOWN, we strive for perfection in every ski we make, but occasionally, some skis fall short in terms of appearance.
Performance:
Our B-grade skis deliver the same top-tier performance and build quality as our standard A-grade products. They adhere to our stringent 33-point quality control system and strict QC guidelines.
Imperfections:
B-grade skis have minor cosmetic flaws, such as:
- color imperfections or patches
- small dimples or dents
- slightly off-center graphics
- minor epoxy resin residues
If these aesthetic imperfections don't bother you, you can enjoy the exceptional performance of DOWN skis at an even better price!
