2.2x2.5mm HARDENED STEEL EDGES

Thicker than industry standard steel edges in both height & width, to fight the well known scourge of edge cracks & blow-outs from impacts to give longer lasting, durable skis. Using 3/4 edge wrap to decrease the swing weight of the skis allowing the tips to flex, reducing the chance of delamination.

1.8mm THICK P-TEX 3000 BASE

Race ski quality sintered base material that is 50% thicker than industry standard, making a fast-running, durable base material that is resistant to impact damage and core shots. Die-cut with the Fauna logo tip & tail.

BI-AXIAL CARBON REINFORCEMENT

Carbon fibre matting woven at ±45° angles to the tips of the skis, giving the skis a torsional stiffness boost. Giving you greater control on edge in a carve. Used in combination with fibreglass to add the needed strength for freeride skis with minimal weight gain.

UNI DIRECTIONAL CARBON BANDS

Full length carbon bands to give the skis energy, extra rebound & pop.

TRI-AXIAL FIBREGLASS REINFORCEMENT

Fibreglass matting woven in 3 directions to give tip to tail, torsional stiffness and strength to help edge hold, power transfer and control. Plus, an extra layer of full width fibreglass matting to give extra binding screw retention and added strength under-foot to transfer power from the bindings.

PAULOWNIA & ASH CORE

A full wood core combining full length stringers of strong, lively ash used in our freestyle skis, with one of the fastest growing trees in the world, the super light, yet proportionally strong Paulownia. Giving responsive, yet light wider freeride skis.

LAMINATED ASH CORES

Vertically laminated continuous bars of ash which creates a strong, lively, responsive core at the heart of our freestyle skis.

GUN STOCK SIDEWALLS

For our sidewalls, Black American Walnut is the material of choice for its sustainability, durability and hardness; for strong impact resistance and power transmission. If it’s durable enough to be taken to war as gunstocks then its durable enough for sidewalls.

REAL HARDWOOD VENEER TOPSHEET

Sustainably sourced, hand selected, real hardwood veneer, no plastic imitations here. Every veneer is laser cut to form the marquetry wood designs. The topsheets are finished with a layer of epoxy pressured into the veneer in forming the ski, resulting in a durable, moisture and UV resistant finish.

SCREEN PRINTED DESIGNS

Animal designs drawn by professional tattoo artists exclusively for Fauna Skis, screen printed onto the wood veneer.
Giving the skis a natural, vibrant, modern look.
