I’ve got something no other ski has: direction and speed control located behind your boots.

I am the Rax Ski. The Boston Globe writes on Jan 3, 2008 that I am "an attempt to marry the superior turning of short skis with something that would track better in deep and steep terrain".

You immediately feel an unknown grip of metal fins when skiing hard slopes.


Twisting the feet left or right makes skis pivot on their fins and draw a clean curve in the snow.

Just on hard snow surface you have to care that fins do really carve and occasionally „shoot“ feet and skis forward to put a pressure on fins and to execute a powerful „jet turn on the fins“.

Otherwise you are free to turn as you are used to (carve and skidded turns on ski edges).


The position of fins behind ski boots produces momentum that forces both skis to automatically stabilize in the driving direction and therefore parallel to each other. Unlike shaped carver this ski offers no handle at ski tip section to get skewed by bumpy terrain.

The photo shows an all-round model for piste and freeride. It was first tested two weeks ago.


The Rax Ski has been developed in Austria in the years 2006 and 2007.
A diagonal carrier holding vertical metal fins was erected on the ski, just behind the binding.
The fins carving in the snow operate like skate blades when the ski is running on hard pack and ice
or like surfboard fins when skiing powder and other soft snow arts.
The fins should be located above the ski's gliding surface, behind the ski boots and as close to them as possible
in order to bear the skier's weight directly. These 3 requirements are discussed further on our homepage

Whats that!

For Extrem couloir use rope, piolet and mountain ski...
Not this "swallow tail"...

Are sure to be a real SKIER?

Or send us a sample to test

Lmlq, I will come to France March 30
and race Derby de la Meije April 4.
Everybody can test the new gear at Les 2 Alpes or La Grave.

Well, the swallow tail is not that important.

Those metal fins make all the difference:

With your gear, enjoyed the TRIFIDES at La Grave...

Before the Derby, i'll try to find to test your new gear!
So why did you put a swallow tail if that it"s not important?

Metal fins make all the difference..? i believed it was the skier who made the difference...

1) With your gear, enjoyed the TRIFIDES at La Grave...

1) Yes, Trifides, what else.
2) Just to threaten the people, Rax skis look so terrific
3) Both the skier and the gear

I should ski in Les 2 Alpes Sunday March 30
and in La Grave starting the next day (Monday March 31).

Good glisse at ze site of La Grave.

I should ski in "Aleyska" the 22 of may ....

Devil's tail is terrific, not a tail of swallow

There is an independent report on Rax ski
written by "DB" in
http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=35246
as follows:

The Rax ski enables you to 'turn on a sixpence', Tom could put in a few turns on the track or the soft snow above it to slow down. Tom would probably go straight down the fall-line to the side of where you skied though.
...
I consider (Rax ski) as a quiver ski for certain conditions. Conditions that would be skiable on a normal ski but not without risk.
At first I was on the front of the Rax ski or I should say on the front half of a very short ski. Was expecting to headbutt the floor and loose a few teeth at any moment but it didn't happen. As the day went on Í became more comfortable and more centered on the ski. The turning radius is very short and so avoiding people is easier. Tom was able to dart all over the place with little effort whereas the longer turning radius of my normal skis made it much harder work. When the piste was busy I had to back off whereas Tom was off like a rabbit scared by a shot. In steep wet snow conditions the Rax ski is probably safer. I only fell twice, once during my unexpected backflip and once when the ski caught something underneath (this could of happened on a normal ski too). People around me were going down more times than Monica Lewinsky. When skiers/boarders collide it tends to be body parts and not skis that do the damage. The fins aren't as sharp as normal ski edges and I didn't come away thinking "wow these things could really do some damage"

I am racing Derby de la Meije April 4.
From Mar 30 on we are in Les 2 Alpes and La Grave,
staying in residence Village near the base station
of Valentine chair lift in Les 2 Alpes.

You can test Rax skis !!
