Sizes

Choosing the right ski size is very important for an optimal skiing experience. There are several factors to consider when choosing the size of your ski, such as: its size, its weight and the type of ski.

You will find below a table to guide you in the choice of your ski size, according to your height. However, it is important to consider your needs and the places where you ski.

Your height [pi'in'']/[cm]	Pionnier 104	Explo 96	Zigzag 92
5'3''/160 cm	164 cm	162 cm	-
5'5''/165 cm	164 - 172 cm	162 cm	-
5'7''/170 cm	172 cm	172 cm	-
5'9''/175 cm	180 cm	172 cm	177 cm
5'11''/180 cm	180 cm	182 cm	177 cm
6'1''/185 cm	188 cm	182 cm	177 cm
6'3''/190 cm	188 cm	182 cm	-

Why choose a longer ski?

Your ski experience level is advanced/expert
You like to ski fast and enjoy stability at high speeds
You like to ski aggressively
You are looking for a better flotation
You are heavier than average for your size
You think your current skis are too short
You ski on terrain with a lot of space

Why choose a shorter ski?

You are a beginner in alpine skiing
You prefer agility to flotation
You ski more slowly / you want to start turns at low speed
You do not ski aggressively
You are lighter than average for your height
You think your current skis are too long
You ski on narrow terrain

We suggest:

Pionnier 104 | Approximately the height of the person + a few cm
Explo 96 | About the size of the person and a few cm less
Zigzag 92 | About the skier's height

camber 3P : Engaging and maneuverable ski at low speeds - a plus for low angle terrain.

Semi-cap sidewall : Semi-cap sidewall: This construction offers the same durability and edge retention as the standard or "sandwich" construction, but with less weight and better impact resistance. Unlike other manufacturers, our semi-cap construction includes a full-length sidewall for complete protection.

Climbing tail : the tail of our skis is designed to hold your skins in place. Plus, it can be notched for a better fit with your skin clip. So you can venture out with confidence, even in the most challenging conditions.

Short radius for ski width : Allows you to initiate fast and energetic turns (perfect for tight couloirs). Very agile and playful ski.

Progressive rocker
Grip flex : Increased torsional stiffness for grip and edge stability.
Good ratio of stiffness and flexibility

If you're one of those people who gets straight to the point, then this video is for you.

Meet Jonathan, co-founder, in this video where he explains in detail the features of this ski.

The poplar wood cores used in our skis come from sustainable forests in the Bas-Saint-Laurent, located less than 100 km from the manufacturing plant. This means that cutting is done with the greatest respect for the environment. Selective cutting is done to improve forest regeneration. Finally, poplar makes the skis lighter and more resistant.

The titanal mounting plate is designed to handle the toughest conditions. It adds isotropic rigidity under the boot, which increases grip and stability on firm snow. In addition, its superior quality allows it to exceed necessary safety standards.

Our topsheet is 50% biobased. Biobased materials are derived from renewable organic matter. In addition, it contains 20% recycled materials and is made with castor oil. This makes our skis extremely durable and waterproof, which guarantees the longevity of our products.

Although fiberglass is not as rigid as carbon fiber, it is stronger. Strength is the ability of a fiber to not break under the weight of a load. That's why this fiber is the ideal choice when it comes to adding strength and durability to skis.

Carbon fiber has the perfect mechanical properties for building high-end skis. It is also well suited for touring skis because of its excellent
lightness/stiffness ratio. Carbon makes the ski light on the way up, but strong on the way down.

We use Entropy Resins' Super Sap epoxy in all our skis. This epoxy is biobased, which means that the materials used to make it are derived from renewable organic materials. In addition, this epoxy offers the same performance as traditional resins, but with less environmental impact.

Combining performance and eco-design.

Making skis that perform well while respecting nature is a matter of course for us. Because nature is above all our playground... This is why we are committed to producing all our ski technologies in a more sustainable way.

OUR ACTIONS AND OUR COMMITMENT

Life cycle analysis.

In collaboration with an external environmental firm, we have analyzed each step of the production of our skis to evaluate their environmental footprint.

LCA OF THE EXPLO

The Explo 96 has an average carbon footprint of 19.58 kgCO2eq which is roughly equivalent to the carbon emissions produced by a small car over 103 km.

FOOTPRINT OF THE EXPLO'S MATERIALS

To optimize its performance on firm snow while minimizing its weight, 2 layers of carbons are used in the Explo. Although this increases its carbon footprint, it is partially offset by the Bas-St-Laurent poplar core, biobased topsheet and epoxy.
