ability

flex

Ski flex refers to the stiffness of a ski, and it plays a crucial role in how the ski performs. A stiffer ski will provide better stability at high speeds and on hard-packed snow, while a softer ski will be more forgiving and easier to turn, especially in powder or variable conditions.

edge hold

Edge hold, refers to a ski's ability to maintain a strong grip on firm or icy snow while making turns. A high edge hold means the ski will bite into the snow effectively, allowing the skier to maintain control and carve precise turns. A lower edge hold will be favourable for those who prioritize playfulness, easy turns, or versatility in varied conditions. It all comes down to the skier's style and preferences.

float

Float, refers to a ski's ability to stay on top of deep snow. Skis with high float will keep you near the surface of the snow, allowing you to glide smoothly and effortlessly in powder conditions and experience that wonderful sensation of floating on air.

flair

It's that special sauce that makes people seem effortlessly cool or skilled at something. You know, the kind of style, talent, or flashy action that makes you say, "Wow, they've got it!" It's like the sprinkles on the cupcake of life – it adds that extra dash of pizzazz, intentionally or not.

product features

Lightweight Karuba Core

Karuba is an extremely lightweight wood core with excellent strength properties. Provides beautiful flex and vibration absorption, making it an ideal wood core for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill.

Full Carbon Weave

Between 8-12 carbon strips sandwiched on either side of the woodcore enhance ski stability without extra bulk. Woven into fiberglass for full-length strength and stiffness.

Recycled Materials

We are working with our production partners to eliminate material waste. We now mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality & durability.

Locally Sourced Materials

In an effort to reduce the impact of our supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based near our factories.

1% For The Planet

We donate 1% of all sales to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are financially committed to mitigating human-driven climate change.

Sustainable Wood Cores

Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.

100% Renewable Energy Factory

This ski is produced in a cutting-edge facility that runs on electrical power that is 100% renewable. The factory no longer uses oil, resulting in annual CO2 emissions reductions of a whopping 10 million kilograms.

XL 2.5mm Edges

The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.

Full Strength Sidewall

A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the woodcore and edges.

Elliptical Sidecut

Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, the shorter radius result in easier turn initiation.

Anti-Chip Micro-Cap

Micro-cap is a hybrid of premium sandwich sidewall fused with durable lightweight cap construction. Provides strong edge hold, torsional stability, and protects joint prone to chipping.

Mustache Flex

Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to provide solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps. This flex allows for progression and for an easier turn initiation and finish.

High Resistance Topsheet

We use the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain

Freeride flat tail

Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.

Skis Size Guide

Find your size with our expert advice video:

As explained in our video guide above, choosing the right ski length depends on a mix of different factors. On a basic level, height, weight and ability should give you a good idea of what length of ski you should go for.

As a rule of thumb, start with a ski around nose to eyebrow level height.

If you are just starting out, or at an intermediate level, then we suggest that you take some length off. If you’re a more advanced/expert skier, then we suggest you should push your ski length towards your full height or even further. If you are heavier than the average weight for your size, feel free to add some ski length as well.
