Brand New Wooden Skis built using straight grain heartwood ash. Solid wood not laminated! Built by craftsmen with modern tools. Tops finished with 3 coats of spar urethane for a gorgeous look and durability. Dimensions similar to the World Piste, Pocket Rocket, Sweet Daddy, Sugar Daddy, The 8000, BD Mystic and other popular down hill and Nordic skis. Bottoms have Polycarbonate edges and DuraSurf sintered bases, which means fewer gouges and better wax absorption, make these skis truly extraordinary. Nordic or alpine bindings can be mounted. Unlike plywood or foam-core skis, ash is considerably more elastic, ensuring perfect interaction between bending curve and torsion behavior. Wooden skis have 80% more torsion stiffness than a traditional wood core / fiberglass constructed ski. That means power, performance, a smooth stable ride and an amazing edge grip. Sweet in powder, soft snow, resorts and the backcountry. Different lengths and models in stock. Skis bases are professionally ground using a Swiss built Montana Base Grinder and ready to wax for the snow condition of the day.

We get questions from our customers asking why we build wooden skis and why we stopped installing steel edges. The answer is that we are concerned with the environment and Mother Nature. Our skis are 99% recyclable, even the base material can be returned to the manufacturer for recycling. Our ash lumber is purchase from our local Amish lumber mill where they select only mature trees. No clear-cutting! But more than what is in the ski; it's what's left out of the ski that's significant, no fiberglass, carbon, titanium, plastic top-sheet or ABS sidewalls. At the end of the ski's lifecycle we will take back spent skis and use them for furniture. Major ski manufactures are moving to China to capitalizing on lower wages and avoiding EPA rules, leaving our country to dispose of old skis, polluting our land and water
