The Pionnier 104 was initially designed for the dense forests of Quebec, but it is by no means a niche ski that excels only in one area. Designed for adventurous skiers seeking powder and challenging terrain, the Pionnier 104 has proven to be an intuitive, maneuverable, and remarkably versatile ski, effortlessly adapting to various turn shapes and styles.
Its relatively short turn radius and tapered tip make carving and tight turns in demanding terrain easier. The central ski stiffness and less tapered tail provide increased confidence in turns, ensuring consistent stability even in wider turns that might exceed expected capabilities, contrary to what its turn radius on paper might suggest.
The Pionnier 104 represents the perfect blend of performance and versatility, pushing boundaries to deliver an exceptional skiing experience, whether in deep powder or the more technical areas of tight forests.

Poplar core: Poplar cores are sourced from sustainable forests, less than 100 km from the factory. The environmentally-friendly harvesting involves selective cutting to enhance forest regeneration, resulting in lightweight and durable skis.
Birch mounting plate: The birch reinforcement plate in the Pionnier 104 provides additional strength under the boot while minimizing the associated weight increase. Birch allows the Pionnier to combine safety, lightness, and agility, making it a reliable and playful companion on the slopes.
Carbon fibre: Perfect for high-end and touring skis, carbon fibre provides an excellent lightweight-to-stiffness ratio, ensuring lightweight ascent and solid descent performance.
Fibreglass: While fibreglass may not be as rigid as carbon fibre, it possesses greater strength. The strength lies in the fibre's ability to resist breaking under the weight of a load. That's why this fibre is the preferred choice when it comes to imparting strength and durability to skis.
Biosourced epoxy: Entropy Resins' Super Sap biosourced epoxy utilizes renewable materials, offering performance equivalent to traditional resins with reduced environmental impact.
Biosourced topsheet: The 50% biosourced topsheet, made from renewable materials and 20% recycled materials, is manufactured with castor oil, ensuring exceptional durability and waterproofing.
