The Story Behind the Skis
OGSO didn’t begin with a business plan. It began with people who spent most of their lives in the mountains — people who found clarity up high, who trusted effort more than luck, who understood snow not as a surface but as a language.
For us, skiing was never entertainment. It was a way of being present, a way of paying attention, a way of staying honest.
And in that clarity, one question kept coming back:
Why not one ski that can follow you anywhere?
Most ski design focuses on categories, markets, trends. We were more interested in moments:
the steep entrance where your pulse slows,
the surprise crust on a long descent,
the wind-shift that changes the surface at 3,000 meters,
the days when the mountain gives you everything and nothing at the same time.
To build a ski for real mountain life, we had to rethink the process. So we brought together two worlds:
the precision of young digital engineers and
the instincts of seasoned mountaineers.
One side working in millimeters, simulations, materials.
The other working in feel, balance, pressure, rhythm.
It wasn’t always smooth — but good ideas rarely are.
We built prototype after prototype — hundreds of attempts, dozens of constructions, shapes that worked on paper but not on snow, fibers that hummed correctly at speed and others that didn’t belong in a ski at all.
Slowly, something took shape:
a ski that didn’t demand perfect snow to perform,
a ski that stayed calm when conditions weren’t,
a ski that adapted instead of insisting.
A versatile ski in the true mountaineering sense — not a compromise, not a shortcut, but a tool capable of moving through the full reality of mountain terrain.
OGSO isn’t about the spotlight, and it isn’t about perfection. It’s about building equipment you can trust when the wind changes, when the light goes flat, when the snow surprises you, when you’re far from the resort and deep into your own decisions.
It’s for skiers who understand that the mountain doesn’t perform for us. It invites us in — on its terms.
And if that’s the world you move in, then you understand why we make skis the way we do.
OGSO is built for the skier who looks up, feels the mountain in their eye, and knows exactly why they’re here.

Why should a skier need ten different skis to move confidently in the mountains?

OGSO TEAM
The OGSO team are young digital and 3D experts combined with highly experienced ski-mountaineers, we want to share our passion with you.
All designs, 3D, engineering, and communication is made in our offices.
By making hundreds of prototypes with different components, constructions, shapes and innovative materials, realizing our own compositions and products such as carbon-kevlar fibres we have created a ski, with which you can go to places you have not dared to go before, you can go out and discover new boundaries, you can extend your limits. With the wide tip & tail you have the feeling of surfing, an unexperienced sensation of balance, and an all-time control.
OGSO ANYWHERE
People at a very good level will go more to the edge because with ogso-ski they can go faster, brake later, turn more precise, go steeper, be safer, ski anywhere at any condition whatever the snow, even on hard snow, even on bad snow and go longer because of all these advantages.
People with a lower level experience a fantastic and quick progress and have access to a new ski world.
