First Look at the Nest

By Erik FaeustleonApril 22, 2026

The Nest is the first ski we built around the Adaptive Profile System — a single ski that adapts from camber to rocker on the fly, giving you the right tool for every condition without swapping gear.

The Nest — designed to handle groomers, powder, and everything in between.

One Ski, Every Condition

Most skiers carry multiple pairs: one for groomers, one for powder, maybe a third for variable conditions. The Nest changes that. With the Outsider Power Reel, you adjust your ski's profile in seconds — camber for carving hardpack, rocker for floating through deep snow.

Built Around APS

The Adaptive Profile System routes high-tensile cables through the ski's core. Tension them with the reel, and the ski pulls into camber for carving groomers. Release the tension, and it settles into rocker for floating powder. You can also leave it in a middle state — perfect for choppy, variable snow.

Picture a full day: morning powder, midday chop as the mountain gets skied off, afternoon groomers. With the Nest, you adjust at the lift and ride the right profile for each session. No gear swap, no compromise.

The Outsider Power Reel allows skis to be adjusted from camber to rocker and vice versa.

Designed for Real Use

At 106mm underfoot, the Nest is wide enough to handle powder but nimble enough to carve groomers when you dial in camber. The construction is durable, the reel is glove-friendly, and the system is built to handle 5,000–10,000 cycles over multiple seasons.
