Sporten is a traditional ski company founded more than 100 years ago. At that time each pair of skis were made in small workshops by skilled craftsmen and each pair of skis were truly original.
Time has changed, but in Vysocine where Sporten still make their skis, many things are still the same. Sporten don’t go out and buy the cores for their skis like other manufacturers. Instead they go and buy trees direct from sustainable forests. They strip the bark and cut the wood into planks before storing it for three years outside to season correctly. Prior to production each plank is hand checked for shape and curvature before the final kiln drying process. Once a piece of wood enters the factory it is cut, finger grooved for strength then re-cut for shape and only then does it enter onto the production line.
Once the wooden core enters the production line it is added to a mixture of more modern components including ABS sidewalls, a structured top sheet, biaxial fibreglass wrap, titanal plate, anti-vibration ply, steel edges and sintered base. All these ingredients are inserted into a heavy-duty steel press and with great pressure compressed into a modern ski. The completed ski is then hand trimmed and flex tested to ensure the pair match before final waxing and packaging.
Sporten still make traditional hand crafted skis, but in a more modern way. if you would like any more information visit http://www.skiwear4less.com. MJ.

NEW JUNIOR SKI BOOT EASES YOUR INVESTMENT
Italian company Roxa has invented an innovative new system that allows the ski boot to adjust as your children’s feet grow bigger!
The New Junior ‘Chameleon’ starts at UK size 11 (mondopoint size 18) and can be adjusted over time up to UK size 2 (mondopoint 21.5) . So now instead of having to buy, borrow or steal new boots every time your children’s feet grow you can buy a boot that grows with them.
The ‘Chameleon’ has a patented system which allows the shell to extend just like a rental binding. It also has 2 buckles with adjustable ratchet plus a comfort liner that will expand as the foot grows.
This boot is perfect for the little ones as their feet grow and perfect on you and your wallet!
The Junior Chameleon has a Recommended Retail Price of £90 but is now available for £55 in our shops and online at our website http://www.skiwear4less.com. That’s a saving of £35 off the RRP.
