Fit & Performance Notes

With an 80 mm waist and refined sidecut, the Absolut Joy accelerates turn initiation but keeps edge grip and stability when you pick up speed. The women‑specific geometry and materials keep the weight down and the feel lively. The Protector binding adds a high‑safety component letting you ski confidently year after year.

Care & Maintenance

Regularly tune your edges and wax your base to maintain optimum performance, especially after icy or chopped conditions. After skiing, remove any snow/ice buildup from the binding, check DIN settings, store in dry cool place, and have a technician verify binding mounting if you change lengths or your ability changes significantly.
