MOUNTAIN LIFE - Coast Mountains | Fall / Winter 2017

142 MLCM FALL/WINTER 2017 Prior Patroller The Patroller is the latest ski to join the Prior lineup and is the ideal blend of versatility and power. Utilizing the latest in composite materials (a sheet of titanal race metal, carbon fibre and urethane around a maple core) to deliver peak performance.
