Additional photos are ones we took at our annual board test, therefore may show a slightly different colour or size, but you get the idea!

An incredible high-performance piste ski with effortless handling combined with first-class racing technology.

Handmade in Switzerland and designed by Hansjurg Kessler, the 2012 Kessler Phantom is a truly no-compromise ski. With simple, effortless handling combined with first-class racing technology, with unprecedented grip. Totally smooth, amazingly relaxed snow-riding comfort. Whether at top speed or in cruise mode. The Phantom is merciless on the piste and uncompromising in performance.

Designed by the legendary Hansjurg Kessler and hand made in Switzerland, Kessler skis were the first in the world to enable full-blown power riding without compromising effortless handling and total control. The philosophy is simple: make a fast ski using the very latest and best high tech materials but make it easy to ride because only when you are in total control of your skis will you be able to ride fast. This is why so many winning racers ride Kessler. When discussing the design philosophy with Hansjurg, he claimed the skis are so easy to use they can be ridden by a beginner. Most of our team were sceptics until we went for our first test rides – now we are all Kessler converts!

One of the most innovative features on the Kessler boards is the use of their Hybrid camber profile. This profile is very similar to a traditional 'positive camber' profile, but features a reverse camber section in the nose and tail, which engage when the ski is loaded. This means that you are getting the energetic, lively, and powerful benefits of traditional camber, but the catch free, floaty feel of a reverse camber when you want your skis to be more versatile.

It is these two design innovations which, when working together, make Kessler skis so predictable and easy to use.
