NOt enough time for custom skis?
Because our full-custom skis are 100% unique to you, they take time. If you need skis now, try our line of Factory skis—they’re handbuilt with the same top-notch materials as our full-custom line, and they are still tailored to you. (Our Factory skis are what those other brands call “custom.”) Just choose your model, flex, and graphic, and you’ll have a new pair of Wagners in days!

what's inside factory skis
We source the highest quality materials, from extra-durable bases to ultralight core materials. Here are some of the materials found in our Factory skis:
STANDARD CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
EXTRA-THICK BASES AND OVERSIZED HARDENED -STEEL EDGES | STANDARD
Benefits: Get more tunes out of your skis with our extra-thick bases and oversized, hardened-steel edges. More tunes = longer life for your skis!
FIBERGLASS LAYERS | STANDARD
Benefits: Adds strength to your skis without adding weight or torsional stiffness.
P-TEX SIDEWALLS | STANDARD
Benefits: The sturdiest, most resilient material for sidewalls, p-tex armor reduces the chance of sidewall blowouts and helps your skis last longer.
SPECIFIC FACTORY BUILDS
CARBON FIBER TORSION BOX | Summit 105 and Summit 106
Benefits: Lightweight feel with great torsional stability. Ideal for wide skis or agile bump skis.
AMG TITANAL ALLOY | Summit 97 and Summit 107
Benefits: These high-strength aluminum alloy layers contain more zinc and magnesium than traditional ski-specific alloys. Titanal offers smooth and stable tracking on hard snow, unsurpassed glide speed and exceptional crud busting performance. If you like the feel of metal skis, this option is for you.
PAULOWNIA CORE | Summit 105
Benefits: Paulownia is our lightest-weight core, used only in applications where heavy skis would be a real issue.
FACTORY SKI UPGRADES
WORLD CUP BASE | UPGRADE
(P-tex 4000 Electra high-carbon base)
Benefits: Faster acceleration, less deceleration, fewer recoveries in wet and heavy snow, better glide when skating and traversing.
ARAMID IMPACT RESISTANCE | UPGRADE
(Aramid reinforcement of sidewalls, edges, and bases)
Benefits: Greatly improved resistance to core shots, compressed edges, and blown sidewalls. Smart choice for people who are tough on their gear.
FLOW BUNDLE | +$300
(P-tex 4000 Electra high-carbon base and Aramid reinforcement of sidewalls, edges, and bases)
Benefits: Make your Factory skis faster and tougher with the FLOW Bundle. Upgrade your skis at checkout.
