G3 Skis

G3 skis are known for their durability, versatility and comfort.  Whether you’re planning to head to the resorts for a weeklong trip, or hit some series backcountry powder.  G3 started in 1995 making avalanche probes.  Since then the company has moved on to a variety of other equipment.  G3 has a ski that will fit your needs.

G3 has a number of different series of skis including their mountain and super tour series.  In powder G3's tend to be equally at home making long, surfy turns, tracking confidently down the mountain. As would be expected from this brand, G3's have lots of float, giving the rider that deep powder sensation, even in the not-so-deep. G3 ski designers have found a nice balance this year of weight-to-stability.  As indicated above, they are not as heavy as most skis in but they lose none of the stability usually associated with heavier boards. These skis really shine in untracked fluff, but stick with you later in the day as the mountain gets cut up. Backcountry variable snow performance was equally as impressive.

Whatever your needs are G3 has a versatile line of skis that are built to tackle a wide variety of conditions without weighing you down.  From days on the resort to backcountry adventures these are skis that are built to last.

G3 Skis has been making high quality skis for a number of years.  These are available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes.  Whether you’re planning to shred some powder, head to backcountry, or spend all day touring G3 has a ski model that will fit your preferred activity.  There are a number of ski models available to accommodate the kind of trip you plan on taking:
