Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What's the difference between the Allplay & Whipit skis?
The difference is only the width. The allplay is 8m wider. For this reason the Allplay is still good on firm snow but it's extra width makes it equally as good in up to 10"/15cm of powder so it's more versatile on a wider vareity of terrain from the groomed to the powder. More Allplay info...
The Whipit is better on firm snow because it is narrower and quicker but it has less float in the powder but if you ski mostly firm snow or park then you'll gain quicness and a very nimble feeling. More Whipit info...
Q. What's the difference between the Metal & Vacation skis?
The difference is only the flex. The Metal has a metal laminate in it that makes it stiffer, thus more stable, powerful, and solid feel for skiing faster with maximum stability & power. More Metal ski info...
The Vacation has a much softer flex for skiers that want to throw tricks and jib all over the mountain, you can easily butter and jib the entire mountain. It's more playful than the Metal but also less stable at high speed. More Vacation ski info...

Q. How can I buy a sold out ski?
Sorry but once a ski is sold out, it's gone forever! If you really want the ski, you should order it asap because all skis are limited editions built in small quantities so it's first come first serve and once they're sold out, they're gone forever.

Q. Do you guys make women's skis?
We do not refer to our skis as "women's" or "men's". All our skis are great for any sex! When other companies refer to "women's" they are simply puting girly graphics on a unisex ski with in shorter lengths. So choose the ski length that is best for your height, weight, ability, then select the graphic you like and you'll have a ski you love!
