Flax, not carbon
Peak2002 replaces carbon fibre with a flax and glass fibre layup. Glass fibre provides stiffness and moisture protection; flax is chosen for vibration damping. We are measuring that effect in our own layup.
Building the Next
Generation of Alpine Skis
No carbon fibre. No shortcuts. Peak2002 skis are built with European flax fibre biocomposites for performance you can actually feel on snow.
Every turn leaves a lighter footprint, Peak2002 is built for people who want performance, but also want their gear to respect the mountain it depends on.
European flax in place of carbon, a wood core, and a replaceable skin that takes the season's wear. Under test on prototypes now.
Flax fibre inside. A skin you renew.
A skin you renew
The replaceable skin (bio-based TPU, material under final selection) sits on top of the topsheet — like a screen protector on a phone. It takes the scratches and wear of a season. Peel it, renew it, and keep the ski.
Built for more seasons
The result is a construction designed so owners can keep the same ski for multiple seasons. That is our goal, under test on prototypes this season: stay on the snow longer instead of buying a new pair each winter.
Our Prototypes
Four models in development, each engineered for different mountain conditions. Four skis, one flax-and-glass layup, tuned for each kind of terrain. Coming soon.

Why flax
72%
Estimate · LCA in progress
Up to 72%* lower CO₂ in the reinforcement layer vs carbon fibre (material production only).

Ski tests ongoing
Flax damps vibration in the layup, for a more composed ride. We're measuring the effect on snow.
*Early estimate from literature values for the flax reinforcement versus carbon fibre. Our own life-cycle assessment is in progress. Not a measured result for a production ski.
Tested in the Alps
Peak2002 was born in the Swiss Alps, under the constant view of Le Moléson, the 2002-metre peak that gave the brand its name.
Every prototype is designed and tested in the Swiss Alps around Le Moléson. We refine each ski on snow until the performance feels right, not just on paper.
In 2025, while working with biocomposites, we started testing flax fibre as a true replacement for carbon. The first handmade prototypes showed what we hoped was possible: a high-performance ski can be built this way.
