Poplar Core
Poplar, a light, durable softwood, provides flex, pop, and vibration absorption. It enables all-mountain freestyle skiing, combining pop and have enough torsional stability for a solid downhill grip.
Dual Span Titanal
Titanal is a robust, isotropic metal perfect for freeride skis, ensures strength in all directions, excelling on edges, tackling bumps, and providing stability in varied snow. Ideal chassis for your dream ski.
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
