Product Features
Poplar/Ash Core
Poplar is a light, durable softwood known for its flex, pop, and excellent vibration absorption. Ash, a heavier hardwood, adds stiffness and durability. Together as a duo, they offer great hold on hard snow, a solid base for landings, and enough pop and flex for creative maneuvers.
Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pad
A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon & rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. Protecting not only the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear.

Best ski out there
"Most versatile ski I ever had. No need for other skis anymore because the prodigy can literally do it all."
Best skis I've ever tried.
"For the past season I could get hands on like 5 to 7 pairs of skis, and this is what I've settled on. And it was the best decision by far. Super playful, carvy, stable. I bought the 1s thinking that I use them mostly on groomed, parks or icy terrain, so I was not willing to have a wide floaty ski. But they carve so much that I wished I could have gotten the 2s, oh, and the capsule version :)"
