Kye Petersen’s skis are the most important tool in his shed. With the introduction of his own brand, Kye Shapes, the phenom is now taking the reins on the design and build process of ski manufacturing, from first sketches to final product. In this week’s giveaway, there’s the chance you’ll walk away with a pair (of your choice) of Kye Shapes’ flagship planks: the backcountry-oriented Metamorph or the “big dog freeride weapon” Numinous. All you have to do is enter your information below. Good luck!

Can you tell FREESKIER a little bit about the Numinous and the Metamorph?

KYE PETERSEN: The Numinous is a big dog freeride weapon. While it runs at a 189 length, it’s got a short running surface for such a big powder ski, making it super nimble with lots of pop. If you want to focus on powder, tree skiing and pillows, this is the ski.

The Metamorph is a magical combination of skis I’ve designed in the past. It’s got a longer running surface even though it’s shorter, giving it great speed while still maintaining solid float in powder. It’s the one I’ll take on longer trips traversing or touring, but it’s designed to not have limits.
