Faction: A group working within, but in opposition to, a larger group.
After years within the ski industry throughout he world, both as professional skiers and working for ski manufacturers themselves, we got together to complete what we see as the missing link a ski company by skiers, for skiers.
After years within the ski industry throughout he world, both as professional skiers and working for ski manufacturers themselves, we got together to complete what we see as the missing link a ski company by skiers, for skiers.
Following hot on the heels of companies such as North Americas Line and Armada Skis, we are aiming
at the middle to high end of the market, producing what we feel are the best all-mountain skis available. Twin tips, fat (88mm) waist, dual sandwich and cap construction, full poplar-birch wood cores, bi and triaxial fibreglass braiding around the core, ptex4000 bases.
For the first season we are producing one model, available in 175 and 185cm lengths, with a different graphic for each length. The smaller size is perfect as a park and all-mountain ski for medium ability guys or big-mountain ski for advanced women skiers, while the 185 is the big-mountain ski for advanced male skiers.
Under testing for two seasons, the skis are hand-made in Annecy, France, and are available in limited numbers for the first year of production.
The company has been set up by Tony McWilliam, an Australian who has been living in the French alps
for the last four years. Our team of skiers is made up of men and women Australian, Canadian,
English and Swiss competing in big-mountain competitions throughout Europe, North America and the Southern Hemisphere. Experienced skiers like Ross Janzen and Martha Burley, as well as young up and comers like Swedens Kalle Fredrickson.
We are a small company dedicated to establishing a core market of passionate snowsports enthusiasts who are looking for an alternative to the mainstream brands.

Hope you're as excited as we are - the response we've had so far has been
fantastic!
Cheers
Tony
