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

Poplar Core

Poplar Core

Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park.

Recycled Materials

Recycled Materials

We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.

Locally Sourced Materials

Locally Sourced Materials

To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact.

Sustainable Wood Cores

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.

Bio-Based Resin

Bio-Based Resin

This ski features an eco-friendly, bio-based resin with 35% plant-derived materials. Enjoy the same strength and durability as petrochemical resins while reducing your environmental impact. Top-tier, sustainable performance.

Full Strength Sidewall

Full Strength Sidewall

Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.

Elliptical Sidecut

Elliptical Sidecut

The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.

Anti-Chip Micro-Cap

Anti-Chip Micro-Cap

The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.

Mustache Flex

Mustache Flex

The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.

High Resistance Topsheet

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

ski shape

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.

Go towards the lower end of our suggested range if:

  • You’re a beginner or an intermediate looking to progress quickly.
  • You want to make even quicker, shorter turns more easily.
  • You will spend most of your time on hard snow.
  • You have a cool head and like to keep the revs down.
  • You’re so tall, none of our skis are long enough for you.

     

    Go towards the higher end of our suggested range if:

    • You ski pedal to the metal
    • You’re skiing fast and aggressively in off-piste conditions.
    • You weigh more than average for your height
    • You plan to do most of your skiing off-piste
    • You want to look like a FWT athlete in the lift line
