Parlor
New Englander
The name perhaps says it all. The “New Englander” is designed and built for the New England purist. Like the die-hards who will ride it, the ski has grit and a sense of adventure. Built on Parlor’s Cardinal 90 platform, the New Englander features traditional elements of ski design with modern flare. With traditional camber under foot and a 90mm waist, the New Englander excels on groomers and hard snow. The flare shines through with an early rise tip, making the New Englander versatile enough for bumps, trees, and that beautiful side-of-trail crud.

To help provide the best fit possible Parlor makes each ski in three flexes: soft, medium and stiff. Flex is determined through height/weight and skier style. The right flex allows a skier to access all of the contact points and performance of the ski: so the skier controls the ski and not the other way around. Medium is the default choice and appropriate for most riders.
The laminates are the main structural component of our skis. All of our custom graphic skis come with the option of a frontside or backcountry lay up.
frontside
Built with three layers of Vectorply triaxial fiberglass, this lay up prioritizes dampness and stability while still maintaining a low swing weight.
backcountry:
Built with two layers of Vectorply triaxial fiberglass and two layers of carbon fiber skrim, this lay up is lighter in weight for those who like to spend some time going up hill. The carbon also gives the ski a bit of added pop.
