Slalom

Bam! Things are about to get seriously sporty. If you love quick, sharp turns, here you’ll find them in their purest form. Slalom skis are the most powerful race machines available to the public. They’re the ultimate when it comes to agility and dynamics – demanding, exhausting, but oh so rewarding. Packed with high-end technology and materials, they deliver the most intense short-turn experiences on snow.

The racing toy for fans of centrifugal thrills

The Slalom ski takes its inspiration from the World Cup gear of stars like Lucas Braathen and Linus Strasser.
It’s the most athletic ski you can buy without stepping into professional race territory.
Precision and strong technique are non-negotiable – this model demands constant focus at the edges.
Easy-going cruising? Forget it. For beginners or relaxed skiers, this is simply the wrong choice.
