The names tell it already: the latest innovative products from the Zai forge consist of the natural materials, wood and stone. Based on their unique grain, both of these make every ski unique – as individual as its owners. Skis from the heart of Switzerland that combine the might of the Swiss Alps with the people.
Zai wood – the look of the classic among Zai skis is captivating with its elegant surface made of , natural ash veneer. Behind the timeless design of the exterior, there is a high-tech interior that provides effortless handling and the highest level of control in very different snow conditions. The Zai wood is impressive with its timeless look that becomes more and more beautiful through the natural ageing process of wood.
Zai stone – the mountain in the ski. This new ski is essentially made of stone, carbon and steel. It is our consistent further development of the Zai spada that brings the stone to the surface and makes it into the only ski in the world with an upper chord of stone. Thanks to our 12 years of experience working with stone as a material and the close cooperation with our partners, we have attained an extraordinary level of quality, usage and durability. Here the core provides stabilisation of the vibrations – like in a bridge – while the shell dampens the blows to the ski. Performance, robustness and simple beauty characterise the ski. Its true greatness comes into its own primarily on hard slopes.
This unique development has been possible through innovative teamwork: Research in the Zai laboratory in Zurich, manufacture in the Grisons mountains and urban design characterise the spirit and the strategy of Zai. Swiss-made innovation and international know-how result in the Swissness as understood by Zai: innovative strength and willingness to take risks, handicraft and openness as well as a focus on the family. We consistently take our own path in order to create the best products with the best design.
