About

Foil Skis was originally founded by Alessandro Marchi in Northeast Italy between Trieste and the Austrian Alps. After many years of developmental work, Alessandro joined with several partners to form Foil International.

With the help of his equally-passionate colleagues, Foil –virtually under-the-radar, has become one of the most sought-after high-performance, bespoke skis in the world. Every Foil ski is handcrafted by Alessandro and individually customized to each client’s specifications. Foil purposely limits its production to a maximum of 300 pairs per year in order to ensure both quality and exclusiveness.

In addition to their stunning vintage aesthetics, what elevates Foil skis above all others is their proprietary combination of materials and processes. Like a master chef’s gourmet recipe, Alessandro’s experimentation lead to discovering the precise blend of premium ingredients from the ash / paulownia wood cores to the bamboo sidewalls; from the stainless steel edges to the nano-graphite racing bases. This, combined with Foil’s unparalleled pressing and finishing processes has created a ski unlike any other; a ski that becomes a perfect extension of the skier’s body, providing precise balance, flex, torsion control and “feel” for the mountain underfoot.

All Foil products are manufactured in Italy and the company has sales & marketing offices located in Austria and the United States.

Foil was founded with the singular objective of creating a ski of World Cup performance, in perfect balance with the body, in harmony with nature and one that aesthetically celebrates the timeless beauty of skiing. Foil extends this same passion to every one of its products!
