We've got some of our 21/22 HQ demo fleet available for sale at a 20% discount!  All skis come flat without a binding.  We plug the holes and give them a fresh tune, so they're ready to rip.  Most availability is listed, but some are still out enjoying the remainder of the season.  If you don't see your ski, check back closer to the end of the season as we'll have more available.

Light enough for a big day of human-powered access and agile enough to get the most out of any terrain, the Reason 120 is the shape for the days we all dream of. A girthy 120mm waist width provides effortless buoyancy in the deepest and lightest powder, while a spry 20m turn radius keeps the Reason easy to manage in tight terrain. The Reason’s Algal Core and Algal Wall work in conjunction to provide added stability and torsional stiffness to the platform, enabling it to be driven hard through variable snow. All in all, the Reason is a ski dedicated to deep snow pleasures that still shines in less-than-primo conditions.

* Reverse Camber 191cm is twice drilled.

FEATURES

  • Strength, Stiffness & Binding Retention Data.
  • Utilizes novel biobased materials derived from microalgae, designed from the ground up for ski performance. See our Biotechnology section below for further details.
  • Two camber profiles available for each length. Choose a shape for your skiing style; positive camber for versatility, greater edge contact on piste and a more traditional feel, or reverse camber for the ultimate in playful, off-piste float, charging, and pivotability.
  • Designed, developed, tested and fabricated in Salt Lake City, Utah USA.

BIOTECHNOLOGY

  • Our Algal Core is a composite of vertically laminated, domestically sourced aspen sandwiched between high-density, algal polyurethane stringers which ensure a solid but lightweight platform. Biobased carbon content is 41.58% by ASTM D6866.
  • Updated Algal Wall sidewalls are made utilizing a proprietary biobased cast polyurethane, engineered to improve edge hold and stability, while also increasing bondline strength over traditional materials, all while improving biobased content and durability over last year’s Algal Wall. Algal Wall utilizes a novel manufacturing technique that diverts plastic waste from the landfill compared to ABS plastic sidewalls. Biobased carbon content 67.89% by ASTM D6866.
    See why it's better.
  • Biobased Super Sap® technology replaces traditional petroleum-based resin systems. We use Entropy Resins® to minimize the carbon footprint of our products. The certified bio-based content per ASTM D6866 of the ER-305 Resin is ~28%.

Bundle & Save

Take a 10% discount on any ski when you purchase any binding at retail price.  Offer valid up to two pairs. Also, take an 8% discount on Black Diamond Glidelite skins when you bundle with your ski of choice. We can even mount the skis up and trim the skins before they're shipped free of charge, so you're ready to rip as soon as they arrive at your door!

Low Impact Packaging

To reduce our dependence on disposable packing materials, we ship our skis using only recyclable products, including cardboard, repulpable tape, and kraft paper instead of shrink wrap.

Carbon Neutral Shipping

We strive to reduce the environmental impact of transporting our skis by sending every pair via UPS carbon neutral shipping. UPS supports projects that include reforestation, landfill gas destruction, wastewater treatment and methane destruction.  The project is validated by SGS, an independent third party.

Love It or Return It

We prototype and test our skis both in the lab and with feedback from athletes, guides, and mountain professionals. We don’t release a product unless we love it, and we’re confident that you’ll love our skis as much as we do. If for any reason you’re not 100% satisfied with a product manufactured by WNDR® Alpine, you may ship it back to us for a full refund under our Return Policy.

Take Back Program

We take pride in acting responsibly and seek to give our customers an opportunity to join us through the WNDR Take Back Program.

We will also take back your skis at the end of life and, depending on the condition, we may: 1) refurbish and find them a new home, 2) deconstruct and re-use parts of the internal materials, or 3) upcycle the skis. In all cases, we inspect the worn skis and utilize the data to help us improve our manufacturing process and ultimately the ski performance.

Lastly, as an incentive, if you send your skis back within 3 years, you will receive 20% off a new pair of skis, and have the peace of mind knowing that your old skis have been dealt with responsibly.

We've got some of our 21/22 HQ demo fleet available for sale at a 20% discount!  All skis come flat without a binding.  We plug the holes and give them a fresh tune, so they're ready to rip.  Most availability is listed, but some are still out enjoying the remainder of the season.  If you don't see your ski, keep an eye out as we'll have more available closer to the end of the season.

    The Intention 110 is your ski for floating effortlessly through varied backcountry terrain. The sidecut is shaped to rip and grip in a wide array of snowpacks at varied speed. The semi-cap sidewall construction provides incredible stability and energy transmission over edge while minimizing wear and tear. Descending, you may find yourself looking down to make sure they are still there, as the tapered sidecut symmetry precisely intersects with the early rise in the tip and tail. As a whole, the ski’s unique biobased materials and versatile geometry interact seamlessly to defy limitations and create an intuitive, stable, and nimble shape.

      We've got some leftover 20/21 Intention 110 HQ demo skis available for sale at a 30% discount!  All skis come flat without a binding.  We have all these available with a fresh tune and wax, so they're ready to rip.  We will also plug the holes.  If you have any questions on the condition, please reach out to us on the live chat, via email or phone.  Your support of our lightly used demos is a great way to ensure every ski has a long and fulfilling life on the hill.  So, thanks for keeping them out of retirement!

        The Intention 110 is the most balanced backcountry ski in the world. The sidecut is shaped to rip and grip in a wide array of snowpacks at varied speed. The semi-cap sidewall construction provides incredible stability and energy transmission over the edge while minimizing wear and tear. Descending, you may find yourself looking down to make sure they are still there, as the tapered sidecut symmetry precisely intersects the early rise splay in the tip and tail curvatures, creating a weightless, buoyant and nimble sensation.

        * The 185cm camber has been drilled twice.
