3P Camber
The 3-point contact camber maximizes handling and stored energy of the ski, without compromising its agility. Rather than the pressure being uniform across the entire length of the ski's edge during a turn, three distinct high pressure zones are created.
Semi-cap construction
All Ferreol skis are made with a semi-cap construction. Although it is the most complex and expensive method to manufacture skis, it is also the most efficient and the most resistant. The same durability and edge hold as a standard construction (or "sandwich") ski, but with less weight and better chip resistance. Unlike other manufacturers, our semi-cap construction includes a sidewall over the entire length of the ski for complete protection.
Flat tail
The flat tail of our skis is designed to stabilize the rear attachment of your skin. You can even modify the tail of the Explo 96 to specifically adapt it to the shape of your attachment. So you can venture into the toughest conditions with confidence.
Bio-based topsheet
Our topsheets of 50% biobased polyamide are made with castor oil. They are resistant and water-repellent to ensure the durability of your skis. We print our graphics directly onto this material using digital printing which reduces the environmental impact of our topsheets.
Biobased epoxy
Ferreol uses Entropy Resins' Super Sap epoxy in all of its skis. This 30% biobased resin offers the same performance as traditional resins, but with a lower environmental impact.
Bas-Saint-Laurent poplar
Our poplar cores are responsibly harvested. In addition to being jointed to minimize losses, our wood comes from Bas-Saint-Laurent, less than 100 km from the Rimouski plant. Poplar allows the ski to be light and resistant, two essential qualities for your off-piste skiing.
Maple from Bas-Saint-Laurent
Our maple cores are sustainably harvested. In addition to being jointed to minimize losses, our wood comes from Bas-Saint-Laurent, less than 100 km from the Rimouski plant. Maple maximizes the durability of your ski so that it is foolproof. Bring some rails!
Titanal mounting plate
The Titanal mounting plate is ideal for dominating the most rigorous conditions. In addition to easily exceeding safety standards, it adds isotropic stiffness under the boot, increasing grip and stability on firmer snow.
Birch mounting plate
The cherry mounting plate makes it possible to lighten the skis, while respecting the strictest safety standards for anchoring the bindings. It allows you to focus on the experience and the adventure, without compromising the safety of the skier. Cherry also helps keep our skis playful in snowier terrain!
Fiberglass
Although less stiff than carbon fiber, fiberglass is stronger. Strength is the ability of a fiber not to break under a load. This fiber is therefore ideal for adding resistance to our skis which will have a hard life.
Carbon fiber
Carbon fiber has highly sought-after mechanical properties for the construction of high-end skis. It provides an excellent lightness/rigidity ratio, which makes it ideal for alpine touring skis. A light ski uphill, solid downhill.
flax fiber
Well known in the food field for seeds, flax is a plant that can also be used as a natural fiber in composite materials. In addition to having good vibration damping properties, this fiber is virtually carbon neutral to produce. Its mechanical properties are between fiberglass and carbon fiber, which makes linen an ideal candidate to substitute synthetic fibers.
