SkiTrab Gara Aero – Skis That Offer Excellent Control Even on Icy and Hard Tracks

January 2, 2025 Thomas Kuus Comments

Does hard and icy snow have to ruin the joy of skiing? Not always.

On hard and icy snow, many skis inevitably become unstable, and such extreme conditions can compromise both performance and reveal weak points in the equipment.

For recreational skiers, the key is to ski more cautiously in such conditions to avoid slipping and injuring yourself. However, during a competition, this is not an option. To get the maximum skiing pleasure and maintain control over your skis on icy and hard tracks, it’s worth choosing skis specifically designed for these conditions.

SkiTRAB – A Legendary Story from Bormio

The legendary story of SkiTRAB began in the small Italian town of Bormio, where, in 1940, Giacomo Trabucchi and his brother crafted their first wooden skis in a basement. A few years later, in 1946, Giacomo founded SkiTRAB, and the first SkiTRAB skis, the Stelvio, hit the shelves. In addition to skis, the company also started producing sleds.

In the early 1950s, the first skis with metal edges were created and named "Okey." By the 1960s, the industry transformed as fiberglass and plastic were introduced in ski manufacturing.

In the 1970s, the first ski touring skis were developed specifically for alpine guides. By the next decade, ski touring skis became shorter and wider. Fast forward a few decades, and in 2005, Ski Trab revolutionized the market with skis featuring a double nose and a cut-off tail. Since then, Ski Trab has become the most popular and successful brand in ski touring.

SkiTRAB – Perfect for Extreme Conditions!

SkiTRAB skis are designed with precise edges and a relatively stiff construction, making them ideal for extreme conditions. This is a ski brand you can trust, offering reliable control even on icy and hard tracks.

For nine consecutive seasons, Skiwax Europe has been offering high-quality SkiTRAB gear. The brand’s growing sales numbers have significantly boosted its reputation among Estonian cross-country skiers. It’s great to see that hundreds of Skiwax enthusiasts have already found their perfect pair of skis under the SkiTRAB name.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that in ski touring, "skin" skis have been used for several decades, and SkiTRAB remains a pioneer in this category.
