Extrem Drifter 102 Touring Skis

Season:2025/2026

Brand:Extrem Skis

Code:DRI10225

Free touring is all about discovery, about finding your own way through the mountains, and enjoying the up just as much as the way down. Enter the Extrem Drifter 102, a highly versatile tool to explore mountains all over the world with. Agile, yet stable and well-dampened for a ski weighing in under 1700 grams. At the same time, this is a ski that floats well and handles windpack with ease, all while being light enough to tour for days with.

It might sound like an impossible mission to fuse all these characteristics in a ski. But, thanks to a semi-lightweight carbon fiber construction, coupled with a freeride orientated shape with generous amounts of tip and tail rocker, and taper, we’ve managed to keep the bulk down without sacrificing the ride characteristics.

Mount it up with a lightweight tech binding and get ready to explore, we know that the Drifter 102 won’t ever let you down.

Ski Buyers Guide

Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:

STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:

1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer

Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:

  • NOVICE (Level 1 to 4)
  • INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
  • ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
  • EXPERT (Level 8-9)
  • PROFESSIONAL (Level 10)

STEP 2 - TERRAIN
Now you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:
  • - Groomed Piste Runs
  • - All snow conditions (From ice to slush)
  • - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
  • - Off-piste skiing (powder)
  • - Ski touring

STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:

Ski Length Chart


STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVEL

The final calculation- For NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for EXPERT and PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
