Timbaer Skis

A combination of ‘timber’ and ‘bear’ gives an indication of the strength of Timbaer - a ski manufacturer based in Switzerland.

If you happen to look closely at the region of Appenzell in Switzerland’s coat of arms, you’ll see a bear – which informs the name of this tenacious ski brand. Producing both slalom, race carvers and all-mountain skis, Timbaer skis come in a range of materials, but each benefit from a bamboo core - giving their skis unique flexibility yet sturdiness. The edge of the Timbaer ski is also to be noted – its shape means ultimate grip in icy or powder conditions.

For the ultimate combo of fashion and form, opt for the walnut race carver which has a retro look but also, according to Timbaer, ‘follows in the footsteps of World Cup athletes’, whilst offering stability at high speeds. The natural fibre slalom carver comes in charcoal black and has a sporty sidecut meaning quick turns – you’ll feel like you’re flying.
