Innovation & Pollution-Preventening
Ther are producers of skis or/and snowboards, far away from any lift, but very closed to most end-user-forums, comming out with a huge marketing-hype to there light-sensitive wintersport products.
Others are going new and silent ways to reach new dimensions with very new technologies and material in cores of skis and snowboards. There are now new cores with weldet wood or with 3mm thin granite laminates inside.
Let's tune to granite. A stone, you can find all over 60% of the earth, very tough and tenacious, no disintegration at light and 40 % less pollution of CO² when earning it, compared to other materials and of course it's a cheap material.
ZAI - a Swiss ski-manufactor, located in Disentis, just 3/4 mile away from next cablecar up to 9300 feet high, in the nice and peaceful valley Surselva, east Switzeland, where poeple speak our fourth language "Rumantsch", sells now skis wiht granite inside.
What is ZAI meaning? ZAI is an Rumatsch word and means tenacity.
The new ski "spada" (Rumatsch word spada means sword) is a realy sword. The new resonation-free material with a linear dampening allows you to ride up in a new sphere. Edge grip and silence at running are just on a way, like you have, when you are traveling with the French TGV or the German IEC.
(even TGV or IEC runs / with the big advantage that your skis never will be on strike)

this sounds suspiciously like someone putting a rock in your back pack as a joke.
Isn't granite a very brittle, heavy, nonflexible material? so far putting a rock in my skiis or board doesn't sound like a benefit. I think that I will take my chance with light sensitve material that is very unlikely to degrade.
