Progressive flat tail
Innovative design, which blends the turn stability and speed of a traditional flat tail shape with a generous amount of perfectly calculated tail rocker, engineered to reward pivots and slashes. Stable to ski at high speeds, playful and easy to initiate turns at lower speeds – this shape exceeds expectations
Product Features
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.
Dual Span Titanal
Titanal is a top-tier, sturdy metal alloy with isotropic strength, meaning it’s equally strong in all directions. This quality ensures skis that love being on edge, blasting through bumps, and staying stable in variable snow, making Titanal the ideal chassis for your dream freeride ski.
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.
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.

Dancer 2 skis
"Love"
Stiff Springy Fun Sticks
"These skis love to move! Downhill, vertically, basically any axis. Between the stiffness and the camber, they make fantastic freeride skis. I find that they’re extremely stable at speed even in a more conservative length for my height/wt. The shorter length means they’re quick to pivot when I need as well, and they can also absorb landings unlike any other model in my quiver. Riding 177 at 6’0 160lbs"
Dancer 2 faction
"Great ski for all mountain/ piste skiing. Carving on these are great and I love them in the moguls. This is probably the skinniest width I’d ski so for me it’s a good carving ski."
Good
"Absolutely love them they do exactly as advertised and very playful"
Solid skis
"Great all-rounder for resort skiing. Stiff enough for hardpack, flexible enough for bumps and trees, and quick side-to-side. Very happy with them."
The perfect all mountain, all condition weapon.
"Great ski. All mountain. No criticism."
Excellent ski! Perfect in powder
"Excellent ski! Perfect in powder and very good on piste"
Great ski for charging the frontside of the hill!
"This was the first new pair of skis I bought in 10 years. After coming from a loose poppy twin tip, this ski’s stability and edge hold was remarkable. Held great on east coast ice. Haven’t had a powder day to try it out on so hoping it still holds its own in better conditions. Still I think this is a great choice for as a hard charging east coast all mountain ski"
Awesome skis
"I really love how these skis ride. Great edge hold for carving, but also very playful. I've had them for 3 weeks though and I already have issues with the top sheet. When the skis came they had a few small nicks, but it's gotten worse over time. The skis are still sweet, I just hope the top can last longer."
