Revision Skis is an up-and-coming ski brand on a mission to revolutionize the growing twin tip skiing market by delivering the highest-quality materials and most innovative twin tip designs -- all at more affordable price points.

Finding the perfect set of skis can be very difficult, especially if you are looking to stand out from the crowd. The majority of twin tip skis being sold today are mass marketed by large parent corporations, lacking the individuality and durability that freeskiers demand.

Revision Skis aims to change the slope of the ski industry, so to speak, and make innovative, durable, customer-friendly, sustainable, affordable skis available for freeskiers all over the world. 

If you’re in the market for the perfect set of skis, whether for your local mountain, park, powder, or the streets, then chances are you know that there is a wide variety of skis to choose from.

 

As freeskiing experiences growth, particularly with the younger generations, ski brands continue to build skis the same old way they used to in the past, failing to adapt to the new paradigm of freeskiing.

Freeskiing has become a very expensive proposition as standard construction skis are more likely to break down quickly due to frequent impacts with metal railings, cement, rocks, and other natural features that are at the core of the sport. Rather than focusing on building skis that can handle the abuse, the majority of ski companies continue to build skis the way they always have, while excluding freeskiing activities from their warranty programs, making this a very expensive sport.

Revision Skis changes this by making the whole ski experience positive and memorable. From product to customer service, our top priority is for you to have fun.

Our skis are designed and created by skiers working to strike a balance between fun, durability, and a best in class warranty and customer service program.

With our focus on freeskiing, a category experiencing rapid growth, we provide a direct-to-consumer product that is focused on innovative design, highest quality standards, sustainability, and best-in-class customer service.

Price-Quality Balance
We at Revision Skis were able to successfully create a balance between price and quality by taking out the middle man from the equation so our customers will get exactly what they pay for. This said, our customers are able to get our high-quality skis without the unreasonable price tag.

Insider Knowledge
Being ski enthusiasts and design professionals, we have covered all the bases when it comes to what works best in terms of materials and engineering.

We also take into account what our growing Revision Skis community and network of industry influencers have to say about our products. We work from this feedback to continually improve our products. Our designs are truly rider driven.

Durability and Quality
With years of experience and expertise, as well as a lifetime of passion behind us, we have created great opportunities when it comes to designing durable skis that are great for freeskiing, powder skiing, and making the entire mountain your playground.

We continue to improve our manufacturing process in order to build more durable products and meet the standards of the world's best freeskiers. We have crafted our skis with great and careful attention to detail inside and out. 

Best-in-Class Customer Service & Warranty Program
We understand your needs. Revision Skis is a company that understands that freeskiing is all about what its name implies: freedom. It’s all about your individuality and having fun with your friends. Like us, we know that all you need is a quality pair of skis, a warranty program you can trust, and a vision!

Therefore, our customer service team is driven to foster your individuality, while taking into consideration your feedback, all the while ensuring that our passion reflects everything that we do.

Since we launched our brand last August 1, 2014, we have been steadily cruising through and capitalizing on the many opportunities that we have going.

We have sold a few hundred pairs of skis to date, with the majority of sales coming through word-of-mouth. We have also recently opened up distribution in Norway and Sweden. 

We have established strategic partnerships and collaborations with various brands: 

  • Branded Revision Skis Week at Woodward Copper Summer Ski Camp from June 7 - 13, 2015 (Colorado).

 

 

  • Branded Revision Skis Week at Camp of Champions Summer Ski Camp from June 28 - July 5, 2015 (Whistler, British Columbia).

 

  • Fernie Wilderness Adventures (FWA) Catskiing for utilizing our powder skis for customer rentals. We also are utilizing FWA's terrain for filming marketing and promotional videos/photos.

  • Our skis and brand messaging will be featured in the Fall 2015 Freeskier Magazine Buyer's Guide.

  • Five members of The Bunch film crew will be using our skis in their upcoming film 'Finito'. The film will feature our logo and media placement as their movie’s title sponsor. We will also be releasing a collaboration ski featuring The Bunch graphics in Fall 2015.

We have enjoyed organic market acceptance as well as press and social media exposure.

We have been featured in Outdoor Magazine as one of the products to buy in their 2014 Holiday Gift Guide. We also have been featured by influential ski media including Freeskier Magazine, Newschoolers, SBC Skier, Powder Magazine, Unofficial Networks and more.
