The yellow cedar is a unique wood only found in the pacific coast where it is strongest in the high elevations of the western coast mountains. Cedar is a slow growing sub-alpine tree that is lightweight and resonates with great longevity and resistance to decay.

Fine in texture, it has a straight and narrow grain that creates a predictable flex pattern and a harder density than most softwoods. This makes Foon ski cores exceptionally damp, and stable. Yellow cedar is well recognized for it quality, exclusivity and element of prestige. This symbolizes the heritage of the coast mountains that is captured in Foon skis.  

The process of a hand poured urethane sidewall has been the signature of Foon skis since the start. The molecular bond formed between the sidewall and our coast mountain core offers a combination of vibration dampening and durability from edge impact.

A urethane sidewall is achieved in the core profiling processes by channeling the sidewall profile using our in-house CNC machine and carefully mixing the perfect blend of urethane that poured into the core. This unique process allows Foon to avoid the use of traditional petroleum plastics commonly used for sidewalls in ski production.
