Women skiers, this one is for you!

Nearly twenty years ago, Elan W Studio changed the world of skiing. For the first time, women skiers of all abilities, had a ski manufacturer, focused on their needs. Since then, we have built a new community and come to better understand the female body and your skiing preferences. Our unrivalled insights and expertise allow us to create skis that meet your needs. We recognise your remarkable skills and determination to conquer any slope.

 

We share in your joy, confidence and good times. Ladies, you rock! 

 

Love,

Klarisa Veselič,
Product and W Studio Manager

How it all started

The W Studio story began with a desire from the women within Elan to develop skis for women to ski with confidence and enthusiasm. Their determination made Elan the first ski manufacturer to create a dedicated female team to develop, design and market women's skis. Twenty years later our passion to inspire women skiers of all abilities, is as strong as ever. We put you, the skier, first, and use cutting-edge technologies, premium materials and handcrafted expertise, to create skis tailored to your needs.

MY GO-TO SKI: ???

Designed by women, for women

W Studio is where ski design inspiration meets fashion and beauty. It's not just about colour, it's about design. We study what's trending in sports, arts and culture. We design with purpose, with flair and creativity, guided by women's thoughtfulness, aesthetics and emotions.

Hilda Bassanese, Strategic Designer

TECHNOLOGICAL SOPHISTICATION

Women's skis from W Studio are designed and constructed with the same technologies as men's skis. The difference is in the detail. Our women's skis use carefully selected materials, are slightly lighter and deliver confident and assured performance, whatever the conditions. 

Kristina Bašnec, Material Developer

INSPIRED BY YOU

We find our inspiration in you. It's your experiences and stories that brings W Studio to life.  Well-deserved awards for design, innovation and performance are great, but enjoying good times in the mountains with you, is what really motivates us!

LOREM IPSUM

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

So much more than a label

W Studio is more than a label, it’s a movement, a community. The power of this community lies in its ability to bring likeminded people together, to inspire collective action and create positive change. When we hit the slopes together, we are unstoppable!
