Standard Construction

We start every ski by incorporating our standard construction. For some models, that’s all they require.

  1. Macroblock Core
  2. Hi quality wood laminate
  3. Best strength-to-weight ratio
  4. Wood type varies depending on ski model
  5. Electra Sintered Base
  6. Abrasion resistant P-Tex 2000 is our optimal choice for durability and glide. (Generally, as the number corresponding to the molecular structure gets higher the base gets harder and has increased glide but also becomes less durable due to the increased hardness.)
  7. Electrically and thermally conductive = able to dissipate the static charge and heat that builds up between the snow surface and the base of the ski
  8. Black graphite = fast glide
  9. Multi Axial Fiberglass Sandwich
  10. 4 layers of fiberglass reinforcement maximize overall strength and rigidity
  11. 0-90 degree fibers = longitudinal and lateral rigidity
  12. +/- 45 degree fibers = torsional rigidity
  13. SemiCap Construction
  14. Benefits of both capped and sandwich construction
  15. Capped construction at tip and tail = increased torsional rigidity for higher performance, increased durability and tolerance for edge abuse
  16. Sandwich construction underfoot = smooth, damp, solid feel as well as increased edge control
  17. We start every ski by incorporating our standard construction. For some models, that’s all they require.
