WE DID IT FIRST.Trail blazing a path towards epic efficiency and increased maneuverability |
During 2009, Doug Cannon converged with other Connelly masterminds to engineer a ski that boasted reduced drag and increased efficiency. By mimicking the same technology that equips racing boats with grace and speed on the water, Doug and his team innovated a tool that propelled the industry 6 steps into the future…literally.

The technology was coined V-Tech. Because ski bottom innovation was stagnant, Connelly Skis saw an opportunity to revamp the ski tunnel. From straight steps and angled steps to steps that rolled up the bevel, Connelly experimented to discover the best design. 6 V-shaped steps — that was the magic number and pattern for superior performance and efficiency on the water.

These V-shaped steps regulate the flow of water on the base of the ski by breaking up the wetted surface area. With less water sticking to the tunnel, the ski is free to accelerate forward. The result? The smoothest, most responsive and forgiving ski on the market. It looks better, feels better and skis better. Today, the benefit of this technology can be seen at every level of skiing, from combos to our top end slalom weapon.
