The Factory 102 is yet another ski developed from the ground up by the passionate skiers at Extrem’s factory floor. This is a freeride ski that performs in varying conditions across the entire mountain, from groomed runs to big descents on the backside, and everything in between.
The well-balanced waist width combined with a progressive flex allows the Factory 102 to float nicely in powder while handling hard-packed groomers and tracked-out snow with ease. A Titanal stringer underfoot provides extra grip on ice and adds stability to the construction.
The Factory 102 is the ultimate ski for freeriders looking for an allround, high-performing partner that can serve as their one ski quiver for most of the winter’s ski days.
If you're looking for a ski that works better in deep snow and be more stable at high speeds on big mountains, check out the Factory 112.

Poplar wood core
The knot free, vertically laminated wood of snappy poplar is a medium lightweight core that gives a playful character of the skis. Combined with Titanal the skis become stiffer and torsional rigid yet keep its playfulness. Without Titanal the skis are just super playful. A CNC-milled and integrated 55x650 mm wood plate of beech secures the mounting of the binding.
Titanal
To increase performance in terms of superior edge grip and high-speed stability, we add a thin strip of 0,4 mm Titanal to the construction. Titanal is the highest strength aluminium-alloy manufactured in an industrial standard process, originally developed for the aerospace industry. Titanal is a registred trademark, owned and produced by AMAG Austria Metall AG.
Race rubber dampening
To minimize vibrations in hard snow conditions, such as icy slopes and wind packed off-piste, we use 1,5 mm race rubber dampening in the tip and tail from Austrian Semperit AG. We also use 0,2 mm rubberfoil in the skis to further strengthen the construction and increase bonding between different materials.
Prepreg glass fiber
We are quite unique to use dry Prepreg epoxy resins instead of letting our employees handle liquid epoxy when building skis, which is otherwise practice in the ski industry. Our glass fiber rolls come industrially impregnated with HexPly M78 from our supplier Hexcel, a world-leading producer of advanced composite material for the aerospace industry. This results in a dry, safe and great work environment for our ski builders and significantly increases the quality of the skis.
Austrian race base
We like to ski fast! Therefore, we use highest quality Isospeed 7515 race bases from Austrian Isosport GmbH. These running bases are made of ultra-high density polyethylene with high quality graphite for best gliding properties in a wide range of conditions.
Extra thick steel edges
For maximum durability of our skis, we purchase one piece steel edges from the well renowned Waelzholz GmbH, who have manufactured steel edges in Germany for over 50 years. We use their extra thick and durable Profile 132 that is 2,3 mm high and 2,2 mm wide for all models except Fusion 95 Carbon Ultra, where we use a 1,9 mm high and 1,5 mm wide edge to minimize weight. All our steel edges contain 26% recycled materials.
Extra wide ABS sidewall
For maximum durability of our skis, we use extra wide 8,5 mm ID 2500 ABS sidewalls from Austrian Isosport GmbH (compared to the ski industry standard width of 5-6 mm).
Top sheet
For best wear performance and abrasion resistance, we use sublimated 0,55 mm Isocap ICP 8210 top sheets with structured surface from Austrian Isosport GmbH. All our top sheets contain 50% bio-based materials.
Sustainability
Extrem Skis are produced at our own factory in Åre, Sweden, with 100% renewable energy. One pair of Extrem Skis has a carbon footprint of 28,8 kg CO2, including raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, and waste emissions.
