PRIOR Skis ... Made in Canada
Prior is a rider-centric company based in Whistler, BC. Snowboard-building experience stretches back 20 years but in 2002 that savvy was expanded to skis. The current ski line is five models in various lengths for ripping the west coast snow. All skis are based on a vertically-laminated Maple wood core.
Prior’s factory in Whistler is open for tours most days at certain hours (if the snow is great it might be hard to find the staff). Even more intriguing is a custom feature in which Prior will create a ski with any topsheet graphics and/or base graphics you care to provide. With one of North America’s most amazing ski resorts literally minutes from the factory door, skis are regularly tested and tweaked. |
