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

Second Tracks is our used ski and snowboard buyback program. Second Tracks extends the life of gear that may be tossed in the garage forever (or worse the landfill) even though it may be totally functional.
With Second Tracks you find your next (or first) pair of pre-loved skis or snowboard or you can trade in your gently used gear for store credit or cash. Then you can use your store credit toward a new pair of Coalition Snow skis or a new snowboard.
Compare specs across all of our models here and find mounting info for your binding placement too.

Here's a brief outline of how we rate used gear:
Good - Gear looks used, edges are potentially dull and may require a tune, but no damage that would require a repair. Topsheets & bases have multiple cosmetic scratches that do not impact performance.
Great - Topsheets & bases have less than 5 cosmetic scratches (per ski) and no chipping. Edges do not require a tune.
Excellent - Gear looks like new. Topsheets & bases have no more than 3 scratches (per ski) and no repairs or tunes are necessary.
We offer two payment plans. The first is ShopPay, which you can select in checkout and pay in four installments over four months. The second is Bread, which has longer, interest-free terms available. Just click on the Pay Over Time button below Add to Cart.
All Second Tracks gear cannot be returned or exchanged.

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.
Skiing and snowboarding mean so much to so many people, and every relationship is different. We asked our Athlete & Ambassador Team to share what Coalition and the Community Care Sale means...
It’s time for a PSA about what the Community Care Sale is and what it isn’t.
It's risky to try to win April Fools, but we throw our name in the hat every year.
We realize that as the brand known for some of the best topsheet artwork in the entire industry, it might seem odd that we’d sound the alarms about buying skis...
