ARE THE SKIS MADE ENTIRELY OF WOOD?

The core of the skis are ash & paulownia in different balances depending on the ski, the sidewalls are walnut sidewall and the topsheet is a coated hardwood veneer. Other than that the rest of the ski is what you have come to expect from high performance skis. Fibreglass and carbon for reinforcement; sintered P-TEX for the base; hardened steel edges, all pressed together with ski epoxy. 

DO YOU SHIP TO….?

We will happily ship our skis to just about anywhere in the world. Anywhere the major couriers will deliver to, we ship our skis to.

 

DO YOUR SKIS COME WITH A WARRANTY?

All of our skis come with a 2 year manufacturers defect warranty, and if you have a problem with your skis which doesnt fall under our warranty, we will do our best to come up with a solution which satisfies. Got a problem? Get in contact at info@faunaskis.com and we’ll happily help.

HOW DURABLE ARE THE WOOD TOPSHEET & SIDEWALLS?

The topsheets are coated with a durable epoxy which binds through the wood fibres meaning it resists chipping & scratching. The sidewalls are coated with teak oil sealing them from moisture and hardening them to impacts.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE YOUR SKIS?

The ski measurements are the post-pressing length as opposed to most large companies which use the flat material length, meaning their skis ski short compared to ours. If you’re unsure about ski length drop us a message on facebook, instragram or in an email at info@faunaskis.com

DO YOUR SKIS COME WITH BINDINGS?

As standard, the skis do not come with bindings installed. Either through addition on the website from our limited selection or if there is a specific binding you would like please get in contact at info@faunaskis.com and we will put together a package deal for you including binding set-up.

DO I NEED TO WAX MY SKIS WHEN I GET THEM?

All of our skis come with a factory wax as standard. Depending on the snow conditions, this tends to last for a few days before we recommend taking them to your local ski shop for a wax service or to buy wax to do it yourself.

WHERE ARE YOUR SKIS MADE?

All of our skis start their design life in our workshop in Edinburgh, Scotland. Following multiple iterations of designs & testing, the main production of the skis is based in the Praefect factory in Bobrova, Czech Republic.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN MY SKIS?

If your skis are unmounted and undamaged by you, we will organise collection from a courier to send them back to us free of charge and issue you with a refund, not just for 14 days from reciept, we’ll accept undamadged and unmounted skis for just about forever. Even if the skis are used and you want to return them, please get in contact at info@faunaskis.com and we will see what we can do.

WHERE DO I MOUNT MY SKIS?
In the middle of all of our skis is the diamond with the ski details, which includes a line across the ski. This line is on the sidecut centre of our skis and is the reccomended mounting point. Inform the technician mounting your skis where you would like your skis in relation to this line.
WHICH DRILL BIT DO I USE TO MOUNT BINDINGS TO FAUNA SKIS?
We reccommend using a 3.6mm x 9mm ski binding drill bit. There’s no pesky metal to worry about getting the right bit for.
