Say Hello to Renoun's Citadel 114 Powder Ski

Citadel 114: The Ultimate Powder Ski

Written by: Lucy Higgins

Big mountains. Deep powder. Wide-open bowls. The Renoun Citadel 114 was designed for days when the snow is stacking up and the lines feel limitless. We don’t consider the Citadel 114 simply a ski—it’s a powder-hungry, backcountry-ready beast that thrives in terrain most skis can only dream of. Built for skiers who crave freedom and float, the Citadel 114 delivers a ride that’s stable and powerful, allowing skiers to stay in control and explore the depths of the mountains.

Citadel 114: Purpose — built for elite powder performance

Citadel 114 Specs: Dimensions: 144/114/135 mm | Weight: 7.7 lbs. (178 cm) | Lengths: 178, 186 cm

If there’s one thing that sets the Citadel 114 apart, it’s its construction. Weighing in just shy of eight (8) pounds per pair (in the 178 cm length), the Citadel is shockingly light for a ski with this much surface area. A maple and carbon core add strength and durability without adding unnecessary bulk—you’ll feel that lightweight construction on every skintrack or backcountry ascent, leaving more energy for deep turns.

And when is the time to drop in? The Citadel 114 hits its element. The 114mm waist effortlessly floats, while the big rockered tip and tail provide maneuverability to handle tight chutes or weave through gladed trees. Whether surfing through untouched powder fields or navigating variable conditions, the Citadel 114 adapts to keep your ride smooth and intuitive.

As with every Renoun ski, the new 114 comes equipped with our patented VibeStop™ technology, which ensures stability and dampens vibrations when the terrain turns choppy. This tech doesn’t just smooth out the ride; it gives you the confidence to push harder and explore farther. From storm days to spring corn, the Citadel keeps you locked in and ready to charge.




While the 114 excels in deep days and the backcountry, don’t let its powder-first design fool you. It’s just as fun in-bounds and its subtle camber and stable sidecut won’t leave you high and dry on your way back to the lifts. It’s a ski that does it all—but especially on the days you’ve been waiting for all season.




The Renoun Citadel 114 is the pinnacle of powder performance and backcountry exploration. Whether you're an experienced powder hound or a freeride skier looking for the ultimate big-day tool, this ski is your ticket to unforgettable descents.
