Y 180 logo. We might need words to describe it..not just a logo

Y 180 is Grace Skis way of pre-tensioning a ski. The natural bamboo unidirectional fibers
are utilized through a uniquely engineered core, like a spring to keep the ski from bending past 0. When the ski reaches 0 and goes into reverse camber the spring is released making a "reverse camber ski" When the skiers weight is released the camber created by the mold and tensile strength of the composites takes effect and bring the ski back to positive camber. The unidirectional carbon running under the core in tension, restrains in compression and aids in bringing the ski back to positive camber. All this adds up to a ski that is responsive on groomers, floats in crud and powder and stomps landings.
