I don’t think I’ve ever seen more beautifully-crafted, custom performance skis, bindings, poles and travel bags than those from Foil of Italy.

Foil Ski Equipment

Foil Ora Nero skis

Originally founded by Alessandro Marchi in Northeast Italy between Trieste and the Austrian Alps, he joined with former Austrian ski team member Andreas Pichler to form Foil International. Together, they searched for the perfect blend of materials, which, when hand-sculpted, would yield an elegance and performance never before experienced.

The company offers four beautiful models of custom skis, each available in two styles; the “Classico” an all-mountain ski and the “Riserva” a slalom ski. In addition to their gorgeous looks, the Riserva ski was given peak ratings in all areas at the WorldSkitest and called “A ski that really shows no weaknesses and that makes skiing to a real pleasure. An absolute top performance of the newcomer!”

Foil designs and manufacturers all its skis and accessories in Italy with one objective: to combine beauty, performance and joy in a snow ski. They intentionally limit their production to a maximum of 300 pairs a year in order to both maintain quality and ensure the highest standard of direct communication with its customers.
