Our Process
We start each pair of Slant Skis with cores that we mill from vertically laminated bamboo, both strong and earth friendly. We then add UHMW-PE sidewalls, the most impact resistant in the industry. Next, add a layer of triaxial fiberglass above and below the core. In some models we also add a layer of carbon fiber below the core for added pop. For our bases we use DuraSurf 4001 Sintered base material, the fastest and most durable base available. On top we have sublimated custom graphics created by local artists. Finally we blend a top-secret epoxy mixture that we squeeze into every layer to create a high-performance, earth-friendly ski.
Because of our consistent durability and confidence in the quality of our products we have increased our warranty to two years for all Slant Skis.
Bamboo
Bamboo is one of the best building materials mother nature has given us. Did you know it is actually a grass, not a wood? Bamboo is able to replenish itself like grass and some species can grow up to 24 inches in just 24 hours! Additionally bamboo has higher tensile strength than steel, and is harder than concrete. No other natural material has comparable properties, making bamboo the perfect ski core.
Sustainability
Slant Skis are handmade in the Sierra Mountains near Tahoe City, CA. We're not building in a factory overseas, which means we're not shipping skis around the world before we're sending them to you. Slant promises to reuse and recycle waste whenever possible, but when itʼs not, weʼre committed to offset our impact on the environment. For every pair of skis we sell, weʼre donating $10 to carbonfund.org. That is one ton of carbon pollution prevented per pair of skis! More than enough pollution to offset your skis, plus a few carpools to the mountain! Weʼre planning to celebrate cold winters for years to come!
Warranty
All Slant skis are warranted for TWO YEARS from the date of purchase against manufacturer defects. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only. If you think your ski is defective, email Slant at warranty@slantskis.com.
