The Fusion 95 Carbon Ultra is the lightest ski we’ve ever produced, weighing in at a mere 1 370 g in 179 cm. This is an ultralight touring ski for varied conditions, were we’ve put all effort into keeping the weight as low as possible. The Fusion 95 Carbon Ultra is for the skier who does long tours but still wants a great skiing experience on the way back down.
We’ve combined an ultralight construction with the same trusted shape as the Fusion 95 all mountain ski, including a tapered sidecut and a progressive rocker in the tip and tail, something that makes for reliable downhill characteristics.
The heart of the advanced construction is a wood core made from snappy poplar and lightweight paulownia, reinforced with two layers of carbon stringers. A tip insert made from the ultralight space technology material Tubecomb minimizes the swing weight, while the tail features an ABS tail protector with an integrated tab to hold your climbing skins securely in place.
Since the Fusion 95 Carbon Ultra is a dedicated touring ski, we recommend mounting it with a lightweight tech binding such as the ATK Crest 10, Raider 11 EVO or Marker Alpinist 12 to keep the total weight down while maximizing the uphill efficiency.

Tubecomb
To reduce the swing weight of a pair of skis we use the ultra-light material Tubecomb in tip and tail. These cylindrical tube structures were invented for the aerospace industry as the ultimate energy and vibrations absorber. These properties of the material, in combination with its light weight, is the reason for using Tubecomb in our skis.
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.
Poplar/paulownia wood core
Our light-weight skis are made from a knot free, vertically laminated wood core of snappy poplar and light-weight paulownia. This combination of wood gives a playful, lively and nimble character of the skis. A CNC-milled and integrated 55x650 mm wood plate of beech secures the mounting of the binding.
Prepreg glass and carbon 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 and carbon 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.
