Introducing the Pioneer—a beautiful ski crafted to be your companion in discovering uncharted territories, regardless of the conditions. Whether you're venturing into slack-country, side country, or the backcountry, the Pioneer is designed to fuel your sense of adventure. Dont let the wood veneer fool you, after numerous prototypes, we've perfected a durable, chip resistant construction that weighs a mere 1.7kg per ski, making it the ideal choice for all-day exploration, whether you're hiking, touring, or making the most of the resort.

Boasting a medium-length turn radius, versatile rocker, and directional sidecut, the Pioneer instills confidence in every ride. It's the go-to ski, whether you're carving through fresh powder, navigating days-old crust, or conquering hard-packed terrain. Available in 175cm and 184cm sizes, the Pioneer is ready to accompany you on your next thrilling journey.

Don’t just take our word for it though, this was how Blister Reviewer, Luke Koppa, described them in his independent ‘Flash Review”:

“it’s very easy to slash around in soft snow, and feels very playful overall. It has an incredibly low swing weight. I loved it in the air. It also felt great on landings. The suspension / damping of the Pioneer is quite good for its weight. In tight terrain, the Pioneer feels exceptionally quick and nimble. As a backcountry ski, I think the Pioneer could be a lot of fun, particularly in softer conditions. For wiggling through trees and slashing your way through spring corn, I think this ski would be great. The Fauna Pioneer is a unique ski. It’s extremely quick, loose, and playful in soft conditions, and surprisingly strong in the middle of the ski.”
