While our cathedral shape is all business practical, the Sunpows are all playful. Generous rocker in the tips and tails combine with a tight sidecut radius to make a quick pivoting ski for banking turns and riding the terrain for a style thats uniquely your own.

Construction Style
The Sunpows come standard in our plastic construction style. For other styles of sunpows, please visit our custom ski page..
Plastic
Features local spruce/birch laminate wood core, plastic sides, and fiberglass reinforcements. As a hardcore shredder, you demand a lot out of your equipment! Plastic construction uses many of the same materials and processes the industry has settled on after generations of development for a board that very well could survive the apocalypse.
Protected from the elements with plastic on all sides, flexible, strong and fun, the guts of these boards remains true to their roots. A wood core made of local spruce or birch which has yet to be improved upon by the nerds in the lab. Other major components of our Plastic construction are industry standard Triaxial fiberglass which provides strength down the length of the ski along with torsional ridgitiy. The sides are made of polyurethane plastic, a similar material to a skateboard wheel, the bottoms are sintered P-tex. The tops have a lightweight tough nylon layer that is coated in a water based polyurethane for UV stability.
From an environmental standpoint, the average consumer would probably be shocked to learn the sheer volume of microplastics, waste, and toxic chemicals that are generated by a product such as a pair of skis. We’re continually tweaking our construction process to use fewer and/or less toxic chemicals, both for the environment and our own personal health. At the end of the day, a product with a longer service life is inevitably the environmentally conscience choice for some people.
Touring Bindings
We now offer bindings on our skis! For ski touring, we recommend Dynafit bindings as they have the longest track record and have proven themselves as reliable as anything in our harsh environment. Though we try to keep a variety of bindings in stock, styles, colors and inventory fluctuate and their stock quantity is not necessarily reflected in our webstore. If we don’t have your selected binding in stock, we will contact you to make arrangements for an exchange.
We recommend either :
Dynafit Radical ST 10
The industry standard tech binding. When Dynafits patent ran out a few years ago on this binding, most other binding manufacturers jumped on the opportunity to copy it. Some succeeded, others failed, we love this binding because of its simplicity and combination of strength, weight (535g) and brakes
.
Dynafit ST Rotation 10
Seems to be Dynafits improvement on the ST Radical 10. Features a toe piece that rotates to release for safety. Adds a bit of weight (599g) which is a small price if it prevents a knee injury!
Dynafit TLT Speedfit
The TLT Speedfit Binding is a 310-gram, minimalistic ski touring binding that combines the characteristics of a lightweight, ascent binding with the advantages of a classic ski touring binding. The heel unit can be adjusted to release values from 5 to 10. The TLT Speedfit binding has less length adjustment compared to the ST models, weighs less and doesn’t include brakes.
