On the website of the Spanish online magazine “IloveSki.org” we discovered an article about what they consider the best and most interesting ski brands on the market.
The comprehensive article summarizes the current information on the market.We are very pleased that our Slovak brand Forest Skis also appeared in the list, and the authors highlighted not only the materials we use in our skis, but also the ecological approach, blueprints and the creation of custom-made skis.
Esta marca de esquís de Eslovaquia surgió de la idea de dos hermanos ingenieros que querían desarrollar unos esquís de tecnología muy avanzada. ¡Y vaya si lo consiguieron!. Los materiales que utilizan son el fruto de un proceso de I+D que pocas empresas han desarrollado. Por ejemplo, utilizan un politileno de ultra alto peso molecular (UHMwPE) bajo su patente Dyneema® y según dicen, es la fibra más resistente del mundo formada por polímeros olefínicos.
Además incorporan fibra de carbono, fibra de Kevlar Aramida, fibra de vidrio y el mejor grafito para la suela. Como seguramente sabéis, históricamente, los esquís con núcleo de madera de fresno y álamo tienen una gran reputación y fiabilidad debido a su increíble resistencia, elasticidad y estructura de fibras. Y cómo no, la marca de esquís Forest Skis la utilizan para componer el núcleo de sus joyas sobre nieve. Por eso, sus esquís están dedicados a esquiadores de nivel intermedio o avanzado que cuenten con cierta experiencia en laderas nevadas. Cuentan con embajadores de gran renombre internacional en la disciplina, como Monika Tatarková actual jueza del Campeonato Mundial de Freeride.
Además, en Forest Skis son totalmente eco-responsables. Y es que a pesar de que producir unos esquís 100% ecológicos es imposible, desde Forest Skis hacen todo lo posible por reducir el impacto medioambiental. Por eso, ya no utilizan materiales provenientes de los plásticos o del aluminio. Además, la madera que utilizan proviene de bosques renovables europeos y el estampado de sus esquís se realiza con la técnica original de impresión de tinte índigo que tienen la solera de 400 años de antigüedad. Esta se realiza sobre fibras de lino y la técnica está registrada como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Si observas su catálogo, verás que es muy amplio y producen esquís AllMountain, Freeride normales y BigMountain (patín de 120mm) y una amplia variedad de esquís Touring para disfrutar al máximo del Skimo. Por cierto, si eres muy exquisito con tus esquís, debes saber que esta marca premium… ¡fabrican esquís a medida!

This brand of skis from Slovakia was born from the idea of two engineer brothers who wanted to develop skis with highly advanced technology. And how they succeeded! The materials they use are the result of a research and development process that few companies have developed. For example, they use Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE) under their Dyneema® patent and it is said to be the strongest fiber in the world made from olefin polymers.
They also contain carbon fiber, Kevlar aramid fiber, glass fiber and the best graphite slide. As you know, historically, ash and poplar skis have a great reputation and reliability due to their incredible strength, elasticity and fiber structure. And of course, ski brand Forest Skis uses it in the core composition of its on-snow jewels. Therefore, their skis are intended for intermediate or advanced skiers who have some experience on snowy slopes. In this discipline, they have internationally recognized ambassadors, such as Monika Tatarková, the current FWQ judge in freeride.
In addition, at Forest Skis they are completely ecologically responsible. And it is so that, despite the fact that it is impossible to make 100% ecological skis, at Forest Skis they do everything to reduce the impact on the environment. For this reason, they no longer use plastic surface materials or aluminum construction. In addition, the wood they use comes from European renewable forests and their skis have a surface made with an original indigo dye printing technique with a 400-year history. It is on linen fibers and this technique is registered as a UNESCO cultural heritage. If you look at their catalog you will see that it is very extensive and they make AllMountain, normal Freeride and BigMountain (120mm) skis and a wide range of skitouring skis to enjoy the skialp to the fullest. By the way, if you are very picky about your skis, you should know that this premium brand … makes custom skis.
If you thought that assembling a longboard is just a momentary matter, we have to prove you wrong. Just as you need to drill bindings on skis and only then you can ride them, you also need to attach trucks, insert bearings and add wheels to a longboard. And, of course, it is ideal if [...]
Forest Skis are known home and abroad as a brand of freeride and big mountain skis. Although we have been expanding our fleet with all-mountain or ski touring skis in recent years, we continue to develop products for freeriding as well. With this cooperation, we want to draw attention to this unique sport and talented [...]
One board for riding? From Forest Skis ?? While until recently it was more of a joke, today it is a reality. In cooperation with LTB Snowboards in Prague, we produced prototypes of snowboards with a linen surface dyed with indigo. It is a board that has glass fibers, carbon reinforcements and flax on the [...]
Do you also take waxing the base more like a relax than a duty? In the evening, before the next day full of riding and adventure, you pay attention to your skis. When you take good care of them, they will reward you with every turn… Thanks for the video, Ondřej Šimko (cinematography) and Honza …
