The "Suki" nomenclature often refers to a specific design philosophy in the niche gear world: Simple, Utility, Kinetic, Individual. It is gear built for the individualist who refuses to be slowed down by heavy lifts or cumbersome car-to-trail logistics.
Most models weigh between 2.5 and 4 pounds (1.1 to 1.8 kg) total. Because you use your existing mountaineering or hiking boots (not plastic ski boots), you save an additional 5+ pounds.
| Product | Type | Portability | Price | |---------|------|-------------|-------| | Skiers Edge (Ski Trainer) | Large base unit | Low | $600 | | Carv (digital ski sensor) | Attaches to own skis | Medium | $400 | | | Single, foldable ski | High | $299 (target) |
Unlike a snowshoe which has a hard plastic deck, the Suki Ski features a P-Tex base (similar to a standard ski) but with a twist. The center section underfoot has a retractable or fixed skin strip (or mohair mix) that allows for grip on the ascent. When descending, the smooth outer edges of the base take over to provide glide.
