FOREST SKIS

We are a small young team, on the market since 2012. We established the brand while we were studying at Universities / Engineering. We are engineers, designers, freeriders as well as former skiing instructors, so we specialize in freeride skis, but also in high-performance skis for slopes and ski-touring. We’ve built the brand from the beginning by ourselves to avoid compromises. Skis are therefore made exactly how we design them. We do not have to adjust to the price of materials or to the mass demands. Ecological aspect is highly important for us although we also chose to use the high tech materials. The emphasis is placed on a combination of high-tech materials known from the aerospace industry, environmental composition, high service life and quality of production. We eliminated non-natural materials such as plastic topsheets and aluminum sheets from our production. We use wood from European renewable forests and organic eco-resins. Ski production is mostly on-demand, so we eliminate the use of excess material. We have devised a unique way to change riding characteristics of skis by adjusting the shape of the tail, creating a system of springs and shock absorbers so skis can work aggressively, but at the same time to be predictable. This is accomplished by precise mathematical combinations of Carbon-fiber, Kevlar, and Dyneema® fibers. We have designed unique asymmetrical skis with hybrid geometry called LOTOR and DRUID. Just switch between the skis and use them as two different types of skis. Our skis were already awarded the main prize on National prize for Design for Professional Product Design in Slovakia, were the Highlight at ISPO Munich, the biggest sports fair, or RED DOT AWARD for Product Design. Forest Skis are produced in a small ski and snowboard laboratory. Diligent handcrafting guarantees the highest precision and quality of the product designed in Slovakia and produced in Prague, Czech Republic. All confirmed by extended 3- year warranty on work
