With our La Nieve backcountry ski, you’ll never have to sacrifice commitment for a lightweight ride. Our backcountry skis won’t feel like a ball-and-chain and they’ll have your back from the summit to the tailgate. Swipe right for more smiles and high fives.
Details
✔️ Sidecut is ideal for medium length turns and shines in when skiing in trees and variable terrain on the mountain
✔️ Early-rise tip profile is a directional shape that pairs off-piste stability and soft snow performance with control
✔️ Rocker in the tips handles crud and bumps for downhill performance and provides maximum float in soft snow; slightly eased tails add control and stay out of the way in a kick turn
✔️ Wide waist and shovel tip blasts through waist-deep powder with composure
✔️ A just-the-right-weight touring ski lets you enjoy the skin track and the descent
✔️ Constructed with FSC certified birch and poplar
✔️ ABS sidewalls and sandwich construction provide torsional stiffness that gives the skis more pop and a solid, stable edge grip

We knew we deserved better equipment and a community that saw us, heard us, valued us, and put us front and center. So we said goodbye to shrink-it-and-pink-it and toxic bro culture and said hello to something more: a community that values camaraderie over competition, solidarity over sending, and compassion over cuntery.
We believe that the recipe for making a kick-ass pair of skis or snowboards has nothing to do with what's between your legs but what's between your ears and in your heart. We start with a concept that meets our unique needs and work with a team of engineers to bring our designs to life. We manufacture in reputable factories that prioritize the health and safety of their team and the environment. We test, bring in our Ambassadors and Athletes (did you know that our skis have been in the Olympics?), refine, and then deliver a finished product to you.
From the beginning, we’ve been willing to do and say what our peers won’t. There is no place for the status quo, no room for hanging back, no time for wait or play it safe. In everything we create, we aim to make a positive impact in the world of snowsports and beyond. And that’s what makes us different. We're Coalition Snow, and we're the ones we've been waiting for.
