Technology
We rely on the latest development and production.
Computer aided design, finite element structural optimization and CNC machined precision parts ensure that all materials, the core thickness profiles, carbon and fiberglass composites are well done and everything fits precisely for final integration.
Workshop
Our ambition is to create a durable product despite the extreme stress to which the material is exposed during serious big mountain skiing - an item of everyday use, yes, but in no way constructed as some sort of industry produced disposable article.
This requires some dedication and care. Nevertheless, to be rewarded with a long-standing and loyal companion makes a big difference and we at uski skimanufaktur appreciate that.
Based on this concept, we only use the highest quality materials.
EACH PAIR OF SKIS IS SPECIALLY MADE FOR YOU, EXACTLY AS YOU NEED IT. FROM SELECTING THE ASH FOR THE WOOD CORE TO THE FINAL EDGE TUNING STEP.
A HUNDRED PERCENT OWN PRODUCED WOOD CORE FROM BEST, OVER SEVEN YEARS NATURALlY DRIED ASH, MADE OF CONTINUOUS STRIPS FROM TIP-TO-TAIL IS USED IN EVERY SKI. THIS IS EXPENSIVE FOR THE PROCUREMENT AND CONSUMING IN THE PRODUCTION, BUT SHOWS THE BEST FLEX AND IS ALSO INCREDIBLY LONG TERM STABLE.
BECAUSE OF DURABILITY AND AGILE SKIING DYNAMICS WE ONLY USE VERY HIGH QUALITY, 1.2MM THICK RACING BASE MATERIAL. THIS ENABLES EXTREME SPEED SKIING WITH ALL OUR MODELS.
SO THE SKIS CAN OFTERN BE SERVICED WHEN THE INEVITABLY OCCURRING NICKS AND SCRATCHES SHOW UP AFTER INTENSIVE RIDING SESSIONS, WE BUILT-IN EXTRA THICK 2.2MM STEEL EDGES INTO ALL OF OUR SKIS.
TO MAKE EACH USKI A LONGTIME COMPANION, TIP AND TAIL ARE MADE OF MASSIVE CNC-MACHINED ABS COMPONENTS, THE UNIQUE USKI "SWABIAN TAILS".
Crew
& Mission
IN 2011 TOBIAS ZIEGLER UND SVEN KOZIELSKI FOUNDED THE FREERIDE SKI LABEL USKI (SPOKEN "you ski", FRIENDS SAY "Uschi") AND PAVED THE WAY FOR THE EXCLUSIVE SKI MANUFACTORY.
„THE PASSION FOR MOUNTAINS AND FREERIDE SKIING HAS BEEN OUR MOTIVATION RIGHT FROM THE START. WE BOTH HAVE BACKGROUND IN MOUNTAINEERING / BIG MOUNTAIN SKIING / FREERIDING AND WE SET OURSELVES THE GOAL TO BUILD SKIS THAT REALLY WORK.
WE DO NOT COMPROMISE ON QUALITY AND MATERIALS. NO MATTER WHAT IT COST AND HOW LONG IT TAKES. THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE DO NOT BEHAVE LIKE SKI INDUSTRY - WE CONDUCT SKI BUILDING WITH PASSION FOR OUR PASSION.
WE ALLOCATE MOST OF OUR SPENDING IN DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, AND TESTING." EVERYTHING IS 100% HANDMADE IN KONSTANZ, GERMANY.
