We have invented the RaxSki because we found no ski turning fast enough nor tracking well enough in all snow and terrain conditions. The long ski edge is a hindrance for easy turning, the plain ski base has insufficient snow grip.

Good luck was on our side and we found a solution in the form of a "ski with guiding blades ('rear fins')". This is how the “Ski with Fins” was born on extreme Austrian slopes in 2006.

Extreme freeride ski goes piste

Two years later we converted some shaped carving skis to RaxSkis and were surprised at first tests on a piste. It`s a very new feeling: you can carve as if your ski edges were much sharper.

The reason is that sidewall metal fins extend ski edges backwards. They can cut in the hard snow deeper than edges such preventing ski tails from skidding aside.

The turning radius of today's carving skis is predetermined by their sidecut. RaxSki rider controls his turning radius by his weight transfer and the torque of his twisting feets. Each RaxSki can vary its radius from below 1m to more than 100m.

RaxSkis require more brains and less force for their control. Whatever happens you should just balance and rely on your rear fins to brake or drive around a sudden obstacle. More power is only needed for extreme freeriding.

More than 350 skiers and boarders - including kids, youngsters and beginners - have tested this easy turning ski on- and off-piste. They all have helped to develop current RaxSki models.

And nobody is saying that they are final. You are welcome to become our tester and designer - just contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it We are interested in your feedback!
