Wood Cores

Select cut Northern Michigan hardwood, that's what we use! We bring in Ash, Beech, and Poplar rough cut from the Matelski Lumber, the mill a few miles down from our factory. We finish our own lumber, rip it into 5/8" x 3/4" strips, flex index each strip, and relaminated the flex indexed strips into a core blank. Our blanks are then run on our state of the art CNT Motion CNC mill to hold the tightest tolerances. Photo: Marc Moline, Antix Creative

Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass

Our hardwood cores are wrapped with composite materials optimized to enhance your skiing experience. We use triaxial fiberglass in our skis, that means that there the fibers are oriented in three directions, one down the length of the ski and two at ±45°. We use several types of Carbon Fiber in our skis, one is a uni-directional strip that adds pop and stiffness to our skis without adding any noticeable weight. Another type of Carbon we use is an ultra light ±45° Biaxial Carbon Fiber that wraps the core of our touring and certain custom skis.
