Cork spatula

In place of plastic (ABS), cork-filled spatula made from recycled wine stoppers are used in the nose. Besides being a more durable choice, this alternative reduces weight and effectively dampens vibrations.

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.

Review & Test.

Recreation.
Their first ride.

Great experience! Easy to handle, the ski can be tamed very quickly. Excellent in curves, the ski connects cut turns and large lines.

Beyond the unique style of the shape, the progressive spatula gives the impression of two radius of curvature. The recreation curves super fast and a new part of the turn is offered to you, due to the geometry of the front spatula. We have the impression of carrying out two styles of trajectories on the same turn! The ski is extremely light and playful. Its front spatula allows good presses, and returns powerfully in the nollies, all with a disconcerting grip. The slightly stiffer tail ensures a perfect and precise ride during switch runs. Magnificent, subtle and unadorned, the ski offers a whole new feeling of sliding. You have a real vibe under your feet: the ski, the unique shape, and the general experience. Beyond skiing, the object is magnificent. In two words, simply recreation. Thanks for this test!

Everything you do with it is just pure fun! It's easy to handle, playful, and responsive. You can cruise or carve like crazy with it!

This ski is something else. I don't have much experience in ski testing, and I don't really have the ability to feel technical details like someone who has skied dozens of skis in their life. But it was a blast. The "Recreation" title was really emphasized! Maybe not as versatile as I imagined, in powder for example, but that may also be because I don't have an extreme level of skiing. Overall, it was a great ride.

Every turn on the slopes became a source of play and a constant search for fun.

Having experience with much heavier skis, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and responsiveness of the recreation. Every turn on the slopes became a source of play and a constant search for fun. It's a versatile ski that breaks the mold and remains highly performing in each discipline. In short: "The recreation is a FUNcreation."

That's great to ride! You can feel that the skis are of good quality and have a lot of flex, and that's fantastic.

Incredibly versatile and surprisingly light!

An incredibly versatile ski for both piste and backcountry skiing, as well as having fun on the edges of the piste. A surprising pair of skis for their lightness and comfort.

A very playful and versatile ski that can carve and attack the slopes or shred the side hits.

I really appreciated its maneuverability on different terrains and its flex that gives it a very nice pop. Its lightness will surely be appreciated if set up for touring. For my part, I am looking forward to testing it in the park.

One word to describe the Recreation 180: playful! I loved the skiability of the skis due to their lightness!

The small turn radius of the Recreation 180 may be surprising at first, but you get used to it very quickly: it's a ski that works equally well on the slopes and in the park and easily adapts to different skiing styles. The flexibility is surprising compared to more traditional skis, but after a few runs, it becomes a real plus for having fun! Therefore, I encourage anyone interested to test them if they have the opportunity!

Why you’ll love it.

A new Experience

The Recreation. was born from Laurent & Sampo’s perpetual search for good times. Beyond competition, beyond pure performance, what we want is enjoyment for everybody no matter the terrain or conditions. The Recreation. is the tool to inspire your ride.

Truly Swiss made.

From the research and the prototypes to the end product, everything is made locally. Everything is made by us. This has been possible thanks to our partnership with the First Track Lab, a recognized research & development hub that recently opened a ski factory in Verbier – Switzerland.

To a creative Ride.

Intuitive & adaptive, the only limit of the Recreation. is your mindset. They feel playful & surfy everywhere you go. Once on them, you will want to try new things, from ground tricks to side hits, from large curves to quick slashes.

Unrestricted Playgrounds.

The Recreation. is also light weighted and touring compatible, allowing you to discover new playgrounds in a respectful way. The fish tail has been adapted so you can mount your skins.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
