Be still, my beating heart.
Who am I kidding... Let’s race!
The race has always been with yourself and for yourself. Whether you’re out to crush a personal best record, competing in an official endurance competition, or speed touring for fun and fitness: the SR Series are ultralight skis designed to perform with as much power downhill as they preserve on your ascent. Are they fast? Definitely! But they have a wider range of utility than you'd expect.
An early-rise tip and wide shovel provide for sufficient float early in a race or your daily dawn patrol, while a hard-working tail keeps you on top through the last lap across the hardpack. It's a short ski with a long running length and camber underfoot, giving you stability at speed. Paired with a deeper sidecut and a layer of carbon fiber, you now have the ability to execute quick and controlled turns on a whim.
The SR Series is designed to ski fast, ski well, and ski easily. In a Skimo race, you want to get to the bottom as quickly as possible... To that end, the SR51 is fully capable of a full-throttle beeline descent. What sets it apart is its ability to carve, decisively, allowing you to navigate whatever obstacle might present itself. And for the fitness skier, all the better! What gets your heart rate going like the thrill of a few turns?

• Quick edge to edge
Early Rise Camber
A directional, hard-carving turn personality makes this ski feel very powerful. A more traditional shape, with a turn radius on the longer side. This ski is characterised as stable and assertive.
Tip: Early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder.
Waist: Long running length. Engineered for strong edging ability when fast and steep. Cambered underfoot for stability.
Tail: Minimal taper, with a wide and flat hard-working tail for control in debris and harder conditions.
Hyper Series
Full Cap / Paulownia / Double Carbon
Ultralight paulownia construction that shaves nearly a pound per pair for easier ascents.
Anti-Ice Topsheet
Crafted from exceptionally durable polyamide material, and designed with a unique texture that effectively reduces the accumulation of snow and ice. This innovative feature is particularly beneficial during long approaches or in freezing conditions, where snow and ice buildup would normally hinder performance.
Paulownia Wood Core
Renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, this paulownia delivers a combination of durability and featherlight agility. It's the ideal foundation for constructing ultralight touring skis, making it the perfect choice for backcountry enthusiasts seeking maximum efficiency and agility on their mountain adventures.
Voile Carbon-Weave x2
Two layers of Voile Carbon-Weave combine the lightweight strength of carbon fiber with the durability of triaxial fiberglass. The strategic integration of carbon fiber into the ski's construction reduces the weight while providing the perfect blend of responsiveness, stability, and energy transfer, allowing skiers to maneuver with precision and control.
Triaxial Fiberglass
Triaxial fiberglass increases dimensional stability along three axis, providing for balanced torsional stiffness and enhancing your ability to control the ski (precise and firm edge grip). Triaxial fiberglass maintains a consistent flex pattern throughout the ski, ensuring predictable performance across different snow conditions and skiing styles.
Full-Contact Steel Edge
Steel edges provide superior grip and control on hardpacked snow and icy conditions, enhancing stability and confidence while skiing. Two lengths of hardened steel with inset teeth wrap the perimeter of this ski. Each section is painstakingly shaped by hand to ensure a precise layup.
Sintered Black Base
This ski passes on the base graphics for the sake of an ultra-high molecular density base; making for faster downhill performance and greater wear/impact resistance. And you can rest assured that your p-tex repairs will be seamless after your day spent breaking the sound barrier.
