Technologies used

Poplar

Poplar is a soft, light and resistant material, with a good ability to dampen vibrations. Used alone, or in combo with maple, it facilitates maneuvers and offers great stability on landing, two essential characteristics for this type of ski intended for fun all over the mountain.

Super strong topsheets

We use the highest quality topsheet available, and we rigorously test it to ensure it stands up to regular abuse.

Raccoon Flex

This ski provides good edge stability, both at the front and the back. Its soft flex at the tips and tails helps absorb irregularities, making it easier to initiate and finish turns.

Since our skis come from the forest around us, it is important to ensure that a tree is planted for every pair of skis produced. Raccoon Skis is proud to be able to give back to nature through our partnership with Tree Canada.

Alpine ski geometry varies depending on the skier's skill level and style. Beginners prefer short skis with moderate camber and slight rocker, while advanced skiers opt for longer skis with pronounced camber for stability at high speeds. For off-piste skiing, wide skis with rocker improve flotation. Each geometry is designed to optimize performance in specific conditions.

The radius of a ski determines the curvature of its edges and influences the type of turns it allows. A small radius offers tighter and more precise turns, ideal for slalom and technical slopes. On the other hand, a large radius favors wide and fluid turns, better suited to speed and large curves.

The length of skis affects their maneuverability and stability. Shorter skis are easier to maneuver, making them suitable for beginners or skiers looking for quick turns. On the other hand, longer skis offer better stability at high speeds and are preferred for off-piste or big turns.
