Best Use
Soft snow oriented, but can still rip on hardpack.
Description
The Citadel has been a vision of ours since the inception of Renoun. Wider, lighter, carbon fiber — more HDT™, less chatter. Everything you need to build a super ski unlike any other. After 3 years of R&D - Research & Dreaming, we’ve made it a reality. We designed the Citadel to be both light and stable, a combination not previously possible. To accomplish this, we doubled the amount of HDT™ embedded in the aspen core. This additional amount of vibration-reducing HDT™ allows the Citadel to clock in at under 1,650g/ski, yet be more stable than a ski with far more weight. It’s the best of both words. At 106mm underfoot, it’s more soft snow oriented and versatile enough to use as an everyday charger. Float in the powder, and grip on the groomers.

How it works >
-
Rocker-Camber-Rocker Profile
Enough rocker for floating on deep days, yet camber still maintains grip on hardpack.
-
Full-carbon
Light, yet with almost 2x the HDT™ inside, it’s more stable than a ski with far more heft.
-
Moneyback Guarantee
If you don’t absolutely love them, send them back for a full refund. . . seriously.
-
Non-Newtonian
We embed channels of a non-newtonian polymer that literally adapts to snow conditions and ski style. When exposed to higher speeds and vibrations, the polymer hardens actively damping the ski. It sounds too good to be true, right?

United StatesSuper punchy, low swing weight
This flex is absolutely sweet, I can butter them just fine and they're super punchy. They have such a low swing weight anyway, very easy to spin and super fun to charge bump fields on as they pivot on a dime, so they don't feel too rigid at all. I've been trying to relate them back to other skis I've demo'd in the past year... they have the punchiness of the Mantra M5 mixed with the charging swerve of the Rustler 10 and the playfulness of the Candide range, and they have it all in a ski that weighs a fraction of nothing. Next level business indeed. My biggest fear before getting on them was that they'd lose feel due to their lightness in the same way as Fischer's Ranger series did for me... nope, no worries there at all. I still can't quite figure them out in the air, but thats just cos they're light and not due to a lack of feel or feedback. My problem, not theirs.
United StatesLightweight Powder and Touring Weapon
After skiing on the Citadel for 100+ days this past season, I have had the opportunity to test this ski in every condition. As expected, the Citadel performs excellent in the soft snow and powder. On the other hand, don't be afraid let these puppies run on the hard-pack- The HDT is no joke. The faster you go, the more stable the ski becomes, the stability almost feels unlimited at high speeds. I also had the opportunity to tour on these skis last season. Coming from the Icelantic Nomad 105s the first thing I noticed was the difference in weight and how much faster and with less energy it took for me to tour. All around and excellent ski and would highly recommend it to anybody looking for an all mountain ski that can ski pretty much anything.
