Our Nyctale ski is inspired by the little owl found in the forests and mountains of Quebec. A perfect ski for playing in densely forested slopes. It might also remind us of that mountain-side refuge near Mount Logan, where memorable ski days end in unforgettable evenings...

A very agile and extremely playful ski, it allows women skiers to weave through the trees like a tango! Like the Torngat, its torsional flexibility provides good edging on hard-packed or groomed surfaces, while its suppleness and front and rear rockers give you the agility you need to maneuver easily in powder.

Its small size (158cm and 166cm) is ideal for women of small stature or those looking for a shorter, lighter ski (1.35kg per ski) that can take them on any adventure.

      What people say about our skis

      The Hog's back is my favorite ski!
      It offers a nice wide platform to float well in the powder.
      The wide front tips keep the ski out of the crazy snow.

      Great freeride ski!
      Perfect for the mountains of Canada's West Coast.

      It's also very versatile, allowing you to cope with changing conditions.

      An excellent product.
      Made in Quebec. 🙂

      ...I've had racing skis under my feet since I was a kid. That's why I was afraid that powder and touring skis would be soft, flat to ski on groomed runs, and that I'd only enjoy them in a snowstorm. I was afraid of nothing with the Sig Sog Carbon. The Sig Sog Carbon are beasts. They can take short radius turns at high speed just as well as big turns at high speed...

      With this width, some might be reluctant, but I assure you, it's much more maneuverable than it looks (and even rather light, too!).

      After 2 full seasons on this ski (and it's my only ski), I've skied it in every possible condition. Obviously it excels in the terrain it's designed for, powder, but you'll also be able to "Carver" it on groomed terrain with a bit of speed!

      And what's more, it's made in Quebec.
