The World’s First Ever All-Aluminum Skis Have Arrived

Quick Summary:

Not only are these the first 100 percent recyclable set of skis, the innovative metallic construction makes this the most precise and environmentally friendly way to manufacture them.

Core shots—when the ski's core is exposed to moisture and leads to warping or rotting—will never happen, because there is no core, and the aluminum base will deflect rocks way better than any extruded polyethylene base.

In the 1940s aluminum-laminate skis with a wood core were coming about but didn’t take off until Howard Head jumped in the game.
