Bookended MAP Core – Praxis uses a woodworking practice known as "bookending" to produce matched cores for your skis. Each core is sliced off a core block and the slices are matched at creation, numbered and milled as a pair. This produces the most closely matched grain and flex characteristics possible.

Hard Maple, Ash, and Paulownia Woods – The ash is used in the center of the ski and the perimeter of the ski. This provides a strong frame for the ski that smoothes out and dampens the ride. Hard maple is used to create a solid center in the ski for binding mounts. Paulownia is a very lightweight hardwood and is used in the rest of the skis core. The combination of these hand-selected woods create a strong, damp, lightweight core.

Triaxial Fiberglass – This fiberglass stabilizes the ski’s flex in three directions, creating better edge hold and torsional stiffness. Each fiberglass weave is overlaid directly on top of each other and stitched together, as opposed to woven, creating a longer lasting, more durable ski.

Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Orbicular Sidewalls – Praxis machines the sidewalls on its skis to a rounded finish for better protection from edge hits and to recess the sidewall for tuning.

Extra Thick 4001 Sintered Bases – This high-grade base material provides excellent wax absorption properties and is proven to be one of the fastest running and most durable base materials offered in the industry.

Oversized 360˚ Edges – The tip and tails of the ski’s edge are specially prepared to be more impact resistant, have better bonding, and molded to the upturn of the ski for a longer lasting construction.

Rubber Dampening System (RDS) – Praxis Skis come with three types of rubber in different regions of the ski to improve bonding and shear strength while at the same time dampening vibrations. First, the edge of the ski is topped with a layer of rubber to stop vibrations where they start and improve the edge bond. Second, the tips and tails are filled with a full sheet of rubber to minimize tip deflection and vibration. When this is combined with a UHMW tip-spacer the result is a bumper for the ski and superior protection for this high-impact area of the ski. Third, the binding zone has a sheet of perforated rubber, which increases the bond strength in a critical area and provides a better platform for binding screw retention as well as dampening underfoot.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
