FAQ
Which skis should I choose for my style of skiing?
We have designed, engineered and built all our skis - and not least, tested a lot of different prototypes of each model. What we don't know about our skis is not worth knowing, so in other words, if you have any questions, just get in touch with us, we are more than happy to help.
Contact us at +46 647-322 04 or info@areskidfabrik.se
Do I need to wax and sharpen the skis when I receive them?
Your skis will arrive ground, waxed and ready to go straight away. We use the best tuning machines on the market from Montana and each ski comes with a grind and structure that is optimised for that particular model. We are passionate skiers ourselves and know what a ski should feel like.
Do you mount bindings?
Yes. We mount all bindings that we sell according to the boot measurements that you enter when you add the binding in the purchase box.
Do I need to adjust the bindings myself?
The bindings come pre-adjusted to the ski boot size specified at purchase and set to the DIN that we believe is correct for the weight you have specified. However, you will need to fine-tune the bindings to your ski boot, we have guides for this here.

Reviews
Driven by passion since 1981
The story of Extrem started in 1981 on Frösön in northern Sweden when two teenagers decided to make snowboards in their parents' garage. Over time, the hobby turned into a business and the garage was replaced by a factory outside Åre.
All skis are designed, engineered, tested and built by our team, backed by over 40 years of experience. The focus is always on the feeling of riding and the joy of skiing for skiing all over the mountain. But at the heart of it all lies the same passion for craftsmanship and skiing downhill on snow as when it all started.
