The friendly folks at Whitedot Skis have cooked up a new construction recipie called "CarbonLite"  for their proven ski geometries which incorporates carbon fiber and renewable flax fiber components to produce significantly lighter and ultra-responsive skis.  We were lucky enough to get significant time on a pair of 180cm Redeemers in both the "standard" and "carbonlite" constructions and put them head-to-head to see what the real difference is.  Suffice it to say the difference is indeed dramatic and positive, with the same ski designs displaying very different personalities when built in the two versions.  Read the full test of the 2013-2014 Whitedot Redeemer Shootout here.
