The Surfer in detail
The Pionnier 104 was initially designed for the dense forests of Quebec, but it is by no means a niche ski that excels only in one area. Designed for adventurous skiers seeking powder and challenging terrain, the Pionnier 104 has proven to be an intuitive, maneuverable, and remarkably versatile ski, effortlessly adapting to various turn shapes and styles.
Its relatively short turn radius and tapered tip make carving and tight turns in demanding terrain easier. The central ski stiffness and less tapered tail provide increased confidence in turns, ensuring consistent stability even in wider turns that might exceed expected capabilities, contrary to what its turn radius on paper might suggest.
The Pionnier 104 represents the perfect blend of performance and versatility, pushing boundaries to deliver an exceptional skiing experience, whether in deep powder or the more technical areas of tight forests.
Features
- Eco-friendly linen fiber composition: The linen fiber composition is both lightweight and eco-friendly, offering exceptional performance while minimizing environmental impact.
- Surf flex: Superior stiffness for maximum lift and minimal drag in powder. Enjoy an uncompromising riding experience.
- Semi-cap sidewall: This construction offers the same durability and edge hold as standard or sandwich construction, but with reduced weight and increased strength. A full-length sidewall provides total protection, distinguishing it from other manufacturers.
- Short radius: The exceptionally short curvature radius for the width of the ski ensures incomparable maneuverability, ideal for all sliding conditions.
- High-Tip Tip: Offering exceptional flotation in powder, the high-tip tip guarantees an unparalleled gliding experience. Ready to push the limits of your mountain adventures.
- Climbing Tail: The tails of our skis are specially designed to hold your climbing skins firmly in place, providing optimal stability during the ascent.
- Timeless Aesthetics: White topsheet with a transparent window highlighting the linen fiber, preserving its beauty over time. The black base with a simple white cut-out logo completes the elegant design. In addition, the white topsheet is functional, reducing snow accumulation.

Composition
Poplar core: Poplar cores are sourced from sustainable forests, less than 100 km from the factory. The environmentally-friendly harvesting involves selective cutting to enhance forest regeneration, resulting in lightweight and durable skis.
Titanal plate: The titanal plate is designed to withstand challenging conditions, providing added stiffness under the boot for improved grip and stability on firm snow, exceeding safety standards.
Flax fibre: Used as reinforcement, flax fibre is durable and eco-friendly, reducing the carbon footprint of reinforcements by 26%. It offers a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, combining on-snow performance with durability.
Carbon fibre: Perfect for high-end and touring skis, carbon fibre provides an excellent lightweight-to-stiffness ratio, ensuring lightweight ascent and solid descent performance.
Biosourced epoxy: Entropy Resins' Super Sap biosourced epoxy utilizes renewable materials, offering performance equivalent to traditional resins with reduced environmental impact.
Biosourced topsheet: The 50% biosourced topsheet, made from renewable materials and 20% recycled materials, is manufactured with castor oil, ensuring exceptional durability and waterproofing.
Stiffness profile
We've meticulously optimized the skis' stiffness to ensure optimal flotation on the snow, preventing the skier from sinking into deep powder. This improvement results in better glide, increased stability, and improved control in challenging snow conditions, making it easier to navigate varied terrain. The skis achieve a perfect balance between torsional stiffness and flex, creating a playful, agile, and versatile ski capable of taking you anywhere you want to go. With a shorter radius for its size and high torsional stiffness under the boot, these skis offer exceptional grip in turns and excel at carving on hard snow.

Life cycle analysis
Carbon footprint composition : An overview
The Surfeur 112 has an average carbon footprint of 19.48 kgCO2eq, which is approximately the same as the carbon emissions produced by a compact car over 103 km.
Carbon footprint composition: Materials
By substituting synthetic fibres with flax fibre, we have significantly reduced the carbon footprint of this ski without compromising its performance. When compared to a synthetic reinforcement like carbon or glass fibre, flax fibre reinforcements have a 27% lower carbon footprint. Also, the use of biosourced topsheet and epoxy further reduces the environmental impact. Combined with the renewable energy used to produce this ski, it is one of the most eco-friendly skis in the world in its category.
