What are some of the really small ski brands out there? Im not talking about vishnu, moment, on3p, etc. We all know and love the core brands, but who’s out there making sick skis that Ive never heard of?

Fat-ypus is so solid. 60+ days straight rail skiing on the east coast and no edge damage or cracks. Such solid skis and if you catch em at the right time, the price is unbeatable

I wouldn't really consider fatypus a really small ski manufacturer, but I've always heard good things about them!

I bought the 194 d senders for this year from 2016. They look sick, and hopefully they ski sick too.

the only way to be completely underground is to make your own skis.

They're definitely small but I've seen their skis both online and irl so they're not small enough for this thread.

O.N. Bergbach is a very special and small ski Brand from Germany. High-quality unique skis at a fair price.

We keep a list of more than 400 ski companies at ExoticSkis.com. (http://www.ExoticSkis.com)
Some are deceased, but it's probably the best starting point to find small ski companies.

Start by looking for small builders near where you ski. Chances are they know the snow and terrain in your neighborhood and design skis that work in those conditions really well. Some will have 2 or 3 year warranties if you look hard enough.

If anyone knows of companies not on the list...please ping us with the name and info! Winter is coming!
