Patrol Skis

PIDA

The shape

Made to outlast the season.

The Pida features a deliberately reinforced structure. Its thick edges withstand abrasion from rocks, and its frame withstands the rigors of a ski patroller’s job. Underfoot, it maintains neutral and predictable handling, even when carrying a heavy load—such as when towing a rescue sled. An indestructible work tool designed to last for entire seasons.

The ski

For the people who run the mountain.

This is the essential ski for workdays at the resort. From early-morning runs on packed snow to late-day runs in heavy snow, it performs rescues and releases with absolute reliability. Designed for mountain professionals, it’s also ideal for skiers looking for a durable model they can fully trust in the backcountry.

Shaper's Note

Built to be trusted, not babied.

We developed the Pida in direct response to the needs of ski patrollers. The specifications were clear: maximum durability and no surprises underfoot. We oversized the edges and reinforced critical impact zones until we achieved an ultra-reliable piece of equipment that maintains its grip season after season.

Construction

Heavy Duty Light:
Lightweight and powerful for carving through vast expanses of virgin snow. This construction uses multi-axial fiberglass, which enhances the ski’s rideability and power by providing torsional and flex stiffness. The goal is also to reduce the final weight of these skis, which is why the wood core incorporates paulownia—for lightness—alongside poplar, for strength. Ultimately, this construction makes the skis lightweight, responsive, stable at high speeds, and durable over time!

Semi-cap:
Our semi-cap sandwich construction allows for optimal force transmission throughout the ski and provides the skier with all the grip needed on the hardest snow. The skis’ durability is also extended thanks to the ABS sidewalls (increased resistance to cold and impact).

Rockers & Camber

Tip Rocker “25%”
Tail Rocker “15%”

Moderate camber

Shape

Multi-radius shape:
A ski design method that allows the radii to vary across several independent zones (front, middle, rear). This enables a very short radius underfoot (for increased maneuverability) while maintaining forgiving tips in difficult snow conditions.

Flex

Stiffness:
4/5

Torsional stiffness:
Multiaxial fiberglass provides excellent stiffness and torsional responsiveness
