About the Recreation.
The Shape.
Asymmetrical Look.
The development process involved completely rethinking the ski experience and incorporating elements that were meaningful to us. Inspired by surfing, we break away from traditional symmetrical designs with an edgy nose and a distinct fish tail. This asymmetrical look represents our connection to snowboarding and allows the Recreation to feel like an extension of the rider.
Fish Tail
“The fish tail provides more reactivity and drive in turns. No matter the playground, it feels easy and playful. This shape brought me back the pleasure of turning and even more.” Laurent De Martin
Truly Swiss Made.
Simply. skis are locally produced in Verbier – Switzerland using 100% renewable energy (hydraulic energy).
Enjoyment is great, but paired with consciousness is even better. We’re part of an ecosystem, which we have to respect. This starts with responsible and local production. This starts with a change.
We want to positively impact the ski industry by influencing consumption and consumer behaviours through scaled production. By being involved in the entire local production process. By having full transparency and honest communication. By being close to our community creating products that truly meet their needs, rather than the other way around. By becoming the pathfinders the ski industry needs and paving the way toward a responsible outdoor ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions about
the Recreation.
Which binding can I mount?
Skiouring – Shift By Salomon – light on the way up and reliable on the way down.
All around – Jester by Marker – very secure and reliable setup, no matter the riding.
What can I ride with the Recreation?
We designed the ski to be playful & creative on every terrain you have the chance to ride it on. It’s exactly the goal of the Recreation: groomers, pow, touring, side hits, park – you can do it all. You simply can enjoy everything.
Should I be concerned breaking the fish tails?
No concerns at all! Laurent and everyone else in the club have skied all season long and never have they faced any issues. We also added reinforcement on both parts of the fish tail so you can leave your skis on any surface and don’t have to worry.
How to find my Size?
Sometimes Size matters (only sometimes though)
There is no perfect formula here. It pretty comes down to your style, what you want to ride and how you want to do it. But here is what we would recommend you based on your height and weight.
Can it be used as touring skis?
The Recreation is a solid and stable ski, and light at the same time. It’s a perfect tool to go touring and ski some good stuff on the way down. Any touring bindings can be mounted. No worries about the fish tail, it has been adapted to mount skins too. Before heading out for a session, we suggest you to first try your setup at home as you might need cut your skins for optimal results.
Can I use my own touring skins?
We are selling POMOCA skins which are pre-cut based on the model purchased – but you can use your own as well. We recommend cutting your skins for ski touring to use their full potential and for security reasons as well. Before heading out, we recommend checking the tail and nose fixing to be sure it fits correctly.
