Product Features

Lightweight Karuba Core

Karuba is a very lightweight wood core with excellent strength, offering superb flex and vibration absorption without added bulk. Ideal for touring skis, Karuba ensures top performance on both the uphill and downhill, making your skiing experience efficient and enjoyable in each phase.

Full Carbon Weave

Ski light and stable with 8-12 unidirectional carbon strips on either side of the wood core. These are seamlessly woven into the fiberglass, boosting ski stability without adding bulk.

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

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.

1% For The Planet

As a proud partner of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of all sales of our Agent, La Machine and Dancer Series skis to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are committed to mitigating 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

Our skis are crafted in a state-of-the-art facility powered entirely by renewable electricity and heated with biomass energy.

XL 2.5mm Edges

A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.

Full Strength Sidewall

Added protective strips along the core, shield the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage.

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

The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear.

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.

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

Super fun to ride down

"I just started touring and I would have never expected to love so much the downhill bit of it. This ski doesn't feel like a touring ski when going down at all, it is super stable and holds the turns amazingly. I only know it is a touring ski because of how light it is!"

— Maria (5/5)
