This winter Val Thorens has teamed up with Salomon to create a unique new set of skis to celebrate the resort’s 50th anniversary.
The new design will be showcased by resort employees, who will be using them throughout the season.
In addition, just 200 pairs will be available to buy from the Tourist Office and a limited number of the resort’s ski shops.
A Salomon / Val Thorens Collaboration
Salomon’s technical and creative teams worked closely to come up with this special anniversary all mountain ski.
Axelle Gacon from Val Thorens started the process by contacting Quentin Boutry, Salomon’s Alpine Ski Product Manager and their graphic designer, Cyril Vial.
“The three of us worked out the technical requirements, understanding exactly what we were capable of creating together.”
“They sent me the files so that I could incorporate the design directly onto them – based on the Val Thorens 50th anniversary logo that I had already created with the marketing team. It encompasses an image that stands out, creates an impact, and remains understated.”
The left and right skis have a different top sheet – you can only see the whole image when you put both skis on, side by side.
The new Salomon Stance 84 ski comes in three lengths: 161 / 169 / 177 cm and costs €600 for the skis and €240 for the bindings.
