The Nordica Unleashed 120 Flat is a modern freeride ski designed for deep powder, steep faces and aggressive off-piste riding. As the widest model in the Unleashed series, it is built for experienced freeriders looking for maximum floatation, stability and complete freedom in alpine terrain.
With a 120 mm waist width and a dedicated Powder Profile, the skis deliver an exceptional surf-like feel in deep snow. The Freeride Flow Shape allows smooth, flowing turns in open terrain while still maintaining enough agility for quick direction changes in narrow sections and technical terrain.
The Drift Lock Metal construction combines lightweight poplar wood, carbon and strategically positioned Terrain Specific Metal layers. The result is excellent high-speed stability, impressive vibration damping and confident control in demanding conditions. Drift Lock technology also helps preserve a playful freeride feel without sacrificing stability.
The Unleashed 120 is not just a powder ski — it is a high-performance freeride weapon for riders who want to explore big mountain lines, steep terrain and unlimited off-piste possibilities.

We found the sweet spot in each ski width—blending a carefully calculated rocker profile with a tip and tail shape that caters to your style, your snow, and your speed. We call it Freeride Flow. Built to be more playful and fluid.
By trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a taper that further reduces weight, we enhanced playfulness and maneuverability of the ski without compromising that unmatchable feeling of powerful and control. The next generation is upon us.
Drift Lock Technology adds stability and dampness when speeds climb or snow firms up—without losing the ability to drift and slash in all conditions. This single strip of metal is tuned to each ski—paired with our Lite Performance Wood Core and carbon stringers. The result: Confident edge-hold when you’re charging, and playful drifting when you’re not.
