EXTREM is the only factory brand from Sweden. Its products, which are full of craftsmanship and attention to detail, continue to evolve every year. We spoke to Legolas of Vinter, which distributes EXTREM in Japan, about the hot topics for the 2025-2026 season
The new "ICON" series has been added to the WOMEN'S LINE!
EXTREM's home mountain, Åre in Sweden, is a mountain with harsh Scandinavian conditions, offering a wide range of conditions, from deep powder to soft groomed runs, rough mogul runs and hard ice. To master these tough conditions and enjoy skiing to the fullest, you need versatile skis that can handle a variety of conditions
For the 2025-2026 season, EXTREM will be introducing the new "ICON" model as the successor to the popular "MOTHER TREE" women's line, which has been considered a symbol of the brand. The "ICON" model, which inherits the DNA of the MOTHER TREE and has been further refined, will be available in three models: the ICON 90, 96, and 102. Each model features a completely new shape, and has been thoroughly tested by Swedish female athletes, who have incorporated their feedback into the final product
ICON90
This ski is perfect for those looking to carve on the piste. The flexible and stable poplar wood core, combined with two layers of titanium across the entire width of the ski, ensures strong edge grip even on hard snow, resulting in powerful, sharp turns. The slight rocker on the tip and tail also makes for smooth turn initiation
ICON96
The ICON 96 inherits the excellent features of the Mother Tree 95 and takes them to the next level. It offers exceptional carving ability and outstanding stability at high speeds, and has ample rocker in the tip and tail for excellent lift in soft snow, making it a true all-mountain ski
By combining a poplar wood core with a lightweight fiberglass laminate, it has succeeded in reducing weight while still providing a high level of strength, vibration absorption, and edge grip. It is a worthy successor to the Mother Tree 95
ICON102
The ICON 102 is positioned as the successor to the Mothertree 105, but it features an entirely new shape and sidecut. The carefully tuned rocker profile allows for smooth turn initiation and a firm tail release when needed. It floats happily in powder, handles rough surfaces with ease, and carves comfortably on groomed runs, making it the ideal board
