Slayr is freeriding in an optimal balance between light weight, playfulness and performance. Regardless of the skier's level, this model is easy to handle and is great on the really big mountains and in nimble forest skiing. The ski has a challenging design with long early rise both front and back in combination with a careful span. Torsionally rigid wooden core consisting of balsa reinforced with double carbon fiber layers over the entire length of the ski as well as a titanium layer under the binding. Polyurethane sidewalls are cushioning and durable. During manufacture, liquid PU is poured into the mold and creates a permanent protection against impact and moisture and provides increased compliance and pop.

Premium Carbon Fiber Construction
The skis are constructed with carbon fiber laminate of the same quality as used in the aviation industry. Each layer of carbon fiber is carefully applied above and below the core to optimize flex, stiffness and power transfer specifically for each ski. G3 uses dry and flexible carbon fiber sheets with exactly the right amount of resin and carbon fiber for each ski size. The process minimizes unnecessary weight and optimizes the fiber's function.
Polyurethanes
Polyurethane (PU) is an elastomeric polymer material known for effective energy absorption, durability and elasticity. An inherent problem with lightweight carbon fiber skis is the chatter and jitteriness that comes from the light and stiff materials used. The ski's PU sidewalls counteract this as they absorb the extra energy and dampen nervousness. The elasticity of PU increases durability by 30%, and improves protection from impacts on the edges compared to ABS. PU also bonds the edge permanently and completely seamlessly to the wood core.
Magnetic Contact Points
The skis are magnetic at the contact points in the tip and rear end. They snap together when the skis are put together and facilitate all transport without the need for ski straps. The innovation is practical in any type of activity on the mountain.
