    It´s like carving on the wing tip…



    Having emerged at Innsbruck/Austria in January 2012, this ski lets you carve clean turns where others are already drifting aside.
    The core of the actual invention is a pair of well-configured wings underfoot. The inclined ski makes the tip of the wing cut the snow and control the tracking. The wing can either follow the radius of the shaped edge or draw another curve.
    It`s just the rider´s decision…

    Are these available on grown up skis too or just the children's skis shown in your pictures?

    What an ugly word, JayPowHound - "shredding" !
    On a groomer the skis behave quite civilized while carving smoothly and quietly.
    Well, on ice they can become little bit loud ...

    Yeah, DeepHelmet, the skis are getting wings they have badly needed for more than hundred years.
    In contrast, ice skates got blades/runners long before that time.

    Well, let`s stop joking. You really feel that something is leading you on hard and ice. No skidding! Unbelievable...

    Now THAT'S the question we're all dying to know.

    Welcome back, Tom. It hasn't been the same without ya in the off-season. Say hi to Greg from Alpine Zone for us! And to mirror what the others have already stated, it's nigh time for you to post some rax action footage...you know, for science and all.

    Thank you, Davie. It´s really a trouble with some people who cannot stop until they´ve constructed a prototype like this



    It looked like a gun and it also behaved like that.
    That was the very beginning some time in January. The inspiring environment was supplied by the Nordkette

    Ja, ja. Your shoes could really glide in the snow, Buster!
    Just give them fins at the rear and lateral wings and shape their tips rocker-like.
    You´ve made it then, Buster.
