Here at Powder7 Ski Shop, like you, we have been busily preparing for the upcoming ski season. We’ve got great new gear from our established suppliers, and we’ve brought on a few carefully curated new brands this season. Here are 5 brands you should know:
ON3P
ON3P skis are handmade in Portland, Oregon. Founded in 2008 out of a 200 square-foot single-car garage, the company has now grown into a respected ski maker and occupies an 8,400 square-foot factory. That kind of growth is evidence of a super product, and that’s exactly what ON3P offers. ON3P believes that every ski matters, and it shows. With production dialed, ON3P is hitting their stride. Try a pair and let the skis do the talking. Shop ON3P skis.
Black Crows
Black Crows is an independent French ski maker based in Chamonix. Founded by freeskiers, for freeskiers, Black Crows focuses on producing skis that remain true to the culture of freeskiing. Founders Bruno Compagnet and Camille Jaccoux have built the company with the guiding principle of refusing to compromise their identity, and their focus on remembering who we are and why we ski shines through in their products. Black Crows was founded in 2006. Shop Black Crows skis.
DPS
DPS has fused space-age technology and groundbreaking shaping to set themselves apart as game-changers in the ski industry. They introduced the first and only pure prepreg carbon fiber sandwich ski, the first 120mm powder pintail ski, and transferred the word “rocker” from the surf world to the ski world, where it has become ubiquitous. Located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah, DPS strives to bring the best to skiers who live and breathe skiing all day, every day. DPS stands for DrakePowderworkS, and was founded in 2005. Shop DPS skis.
Mammut
Mammut has been around for more than 150 years. They started in 1862 as a rope manufacturer, and since then, they’ve made a name for themselves by crafting some of the highest-quality technical gear you can find. Their name and logo, the mammoth, symbolize power and strength, and that’s what you’ll find in their outerwear. Widely recognized as a mountaineering brand, Mammut brings the technical precision required for high alpine climbing to the skiing world. From shells and midlayers to packs, gloves and mitts, Mammut has the highly technical gear you need to stay warm and safe in the mountains. Shop Mammut gear.
