MATT WANTED A BETTER BACKCOUNTRY SKI. SO WE DESIGNED A NEW MATERIAL FROM THE MOLECULE UP …AND LAUNCHED A NEW OUTDOOR BRAND.

“As a lifelong skier and product designer, I’ve spent years building skis with all of the usual materials the industry’s large-scale suppliers have to offer. You’re never getting a material created with the sole purpose of being used in a ski application. Checkerspot’s materials platform has given me the opportunity to flip that story on its head, by working together with cutting edge scientists to design new biobased materials specifically for use in the skis we build.”

-Matt Sterbenz

Now in its second year as a brand, WNDR Alpine is taking Checkerspot materials to greater heights. New for the ‘20-’21 season is the Vital 100, a precision-built backcountry ski utilizing our new Algal Cast polyurethane in its sidewalls. 

WNDR Alpine will continue to embody Checkerspot’s technological capabilities across additional product lines in the near future…
