The Extrem Project 83 is a high-performance piste ski designed to make perfect carving turns regardless of the snow conditions, something Extrem often experience in their home part of northern Scandinavia. Whether it’s icy early-season slopes, spring slush, freshly groomed corduroy, or tracked-out snow after lunch, the Project 83 can handle it all.
The Extrem Project 83 is ideal for groomed pistes with characteristics borrowed from an all mountain ski. A slight rocker in both the tip and tail gives it a playful, easy-going feel and allows you to effortlessly switch between sharp carving turns and lazier sliding turns, all depending on the snow conditions, terrain, or your own preference. At the same time, the stable and well-dampened construction is torsionally stiff with an effective edge grip, even on hard ice.
The Project 83 is a ski that you can enjoy making turns for a full day with without any compromises.
Technical specifications for the Extrem Project 83 All-Mountain Skis
Titanal Sheets x 2
To increase performance in terms of superior edge grip and high-speed stability, Extrem add 2 sheets of Titanal to the construction. Titanal is the highest strength aluminium-alloy manufactured in an industrial standard process, originally developed for the aerospace industry. Titanal is a registred trademark, owned and produced by AMAG Austria Metall AG.
Poplar wood cores
The knot free, vertically laminated wood of snappy poplar is a medium lightweight core that gives a playful character of the skis. Combined with Titanal the skis become stiffer and torsional rigid yet keep its playfulness. A CNC-milled and integrated 55x650 mm wood plate of beech secures the mounting of the binding.
Race rubber dampening
To minimise vibrations in hard snow conditions, such as icy slopes and wind packed off-piste, Extrem use 1.5 mm race rubber dampening in the tip and tail from Austrian Haberkorn GmbH. Extrem also use 0.2 mm rubber foil in the skis to further strengthen the construction and increase bonding between different materials.
Austrian race bases
We all like to ski fast! Therefore, Extrem use highest quality Isospeed 7515 race bases from Austrian Isosport GmbH. These running bases are made of ultra-high density polyethylene with high quality graphite for best gliding properties in a wide range of conditions.
Top Sheets
For best wear performance and abrasion resistance, Extrem use sublimated 0.55 mm Isocap ICP 8210 top sheets with a structured surface from Austrian Isosport GmbH.
Prepreg Glass Fibre
Extrem are quite unique to use dry Prepreg epoxy resins instead of letting Extrems' employees handle liquid epoxy when building skis, which is otherwise practice in the ski industry. The glass fibre rolls come industrially impregnated with HexPly M78 from the supplier Hexcel, a world-leading producer of advanced composite material for the aerospace industry. This results in a dry, safe and great work environment for Extrems' ski builders and significantly increases the quality of the skis.

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:
1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer
Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:
- NOVICE (Level 1 to 4)
- INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
- ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
- EXPERT (Level 8-9)
- PROFESSIONAL (Level 10)
STEP 2 - TERRAINNow you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:
- - Groomed Piste Runs
- - All snow conditions (From ice to slush)
- - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
- - Off-piste skiing (powder)
- - Ski touring
STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:
STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVELThe final calculation- For
NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For
INTERMEDIATE and
ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for
EXPERT and
PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
