Our Story
I discovered grass skiing in 1995 as a practical alternative to alpine skiing—mainly because reliable snow on glaciers was limited and proper gate training wasn’t always possible. What started as a “summer solution” quickly became my primary sport, thanks to the ability to train consistently on slopes close to home.
The idea to produce our own parts—and later complete grass skis—came from very real frustrations with racing equipment at the time. Racing skis often had to be ordered six months in advance, and even then they regularly needed to be disassembled, modified, polished, and reassembled before they were truly ready. Getting spare parts quickly was another challenge: when something cracked or broke, you could lose valuable training time simply waiting for components.
My father began producing improved replacement parts for our own skis. Other racers noticed, asked for the same solutions, and that’s how our small “fix what doesn’t work” approach naturally grew into broader production.
In 1999 we started using skis from the Austrian manufacturer Balek, which improved availability of skis and spare parts—though at a higher cost. At the same time, we began manufacturing components for Czech skis compatible with the Austrian style, and gradually expanded our in-house production to more and more parts and assemblies.
Since 2018 I’ve stepped back from active racing to focus on my family. My son Matyáš started grass skiing at the age of eight, and his results in the following winter season confirmed what I’ve believed for years: summer training on grass skis can be a huge advantage for winter skiing performance.
Now, in 2026, after finishing second overall in the Czech U16 alpine skiing rankings, he was selected for the wider national junior alpine team.
Our production facilities
We’re constantly improving our processes, tooling, and machines. Even though our production remains small-scale and hands-on, we combine manual craftsmanship with modern methods and computer control to reach consistent quality, reliability, and room for innovation.
Key equipment in our workshop includes:
- Arburg ALLROUNDER 221 M 350-75 injection molding machine with oil tempering unit
- CNC lathe Mazak QT-6 with Hydrafeed bar feeder
- 1500 W fiber laser welding machine
- 3-axis CNC milling machine
- CO₂ laser
- Diode laser for belt cutting
- Fiber laser marking system
- 3× CNC profile bending machines
- Mechanical 20t press, now rebuilt to dual purpose - manual and automatic CNC punching machine
- Wood cutting machine (core/parts preparation) - single-spindle shaper
- Computer-controlled profile grinding machine
- 5-axis robotic arm
We source materials and selected components from local suppliers—such as profiles, plastics, and textile straps—but we manufacture, machine, and assemble the skis in-house. That gives us full control over quality, fast iteration, and the flexibility to implement new ideas quickly.
If you want, paste the rest of that page (or tell me the tone: “more personal” vs “more technical/brand”), and I’ll align everything to match.
