Core
Paulownia Wood Core – Paulownia is a fast-growing hardwood that has been cultivated in China for over 3,000 years. It is a hardy species that can tolerate poor conditions in a wide variety of growing areas. It is lightweight, rot-resistant, and has a beautiful grain structure that makes it ideal for handicrafts such as furniture, musical instruments, and of course, skis! A single Paulownia tree will produce a cubic meter of hardwood every 8-10 years. This wood can be harvested from the live tree and the tree will grow a new shoot, so a single tree can be harvested continuously. Paulownia cores are the backbone of WOVN skis.
Laminates
Unidirectional Carbon
Flax Fiber – WOVN skis have a majority flax composite construction. Flax fiber is derived from the stalks of flax plants. It provides strength and superior damping qualities in composite layups. This renewable resource fiber provides a lightweight and strong construction with characteristics surpassing that of fiberglass and/or carbon fiber.

Terrain:
Big Mountain, Alpine Touring

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.
