"I want skiing to be a pastime that enriches life," says backcountry guide and brand founder Togawa, and this is clearly reflected in the performance of the skis. Going forward, in order to enable even those who have never skied before to easily start and enjoy it as a free pastime, in addition to the existing "Sport taste" and "Light taste" which are based on operability and riding feel, a type for recreational users such as "Friendly taste" will also be added. All of the skis are modeled after the movements and appearance of animals and reptiles that blend into their environments on Earth and in nature.
Features of the three models currently being developed
The long-awaited first model from TONES SKI. The model name is derived from the mountain birch, and the graphics are inspired by the gentle terrain of the subalpine zone. It offers a stress-free, analog driving feel that will satisfy especially advanced skiers. The extremely low rocker and flat line of the camber maximize contact with the snow, creating the ultimate glide feeling. This model is perfect for everything from packed snow to powder and granular rock. It is easy to handle, and its exquisite flavor, including stability underfoot and stickiness in the tail, are its charms.
The name comes from the animal's paw, and the graphics are inspired by the rich terrain of mountainous regions. Like a monkey effortlessly moving from tree to tree, it has the grip to accurately grasp any terrain, and is versatile and agile, even elegant. The tip shape has volume and strength, allowing for high maneuverability and quick handling in any condition. The stability underfoot and the stickiness of the tail are exquisite, allowing you to enjoy the ultimate carving feel. This is a board that will satisfy beginners and advanced riders alike.
▶Style: Backcountry ▶Series: Fun stick ▶Type: Monkey
The name truly derives from the ninja, with black graphics that create functional beauty. The way it rhythmically clings to technical slopes, like a gecko, a key design feature, gives it high maneuverability and off-road capability. The moderate balance of rocker and camber accurately grasps and holds all snow conditions, creating the ultimate steering feel. You can enjoy the manual driving feel of shifting from the top to the body and then to the tail, making it a bike that will particularly satisfy intermediate to advanced skiers.
▶Style: Alpine ▶Series: Diverse Stick ▶Type: Gecko
