OperaSkis 4 Destination-Luxury (int'l version)
We have designed together 20 masterpieces, phenomenal skis in a limited and numbered edition, exclusive.
We are truly super-proud to have achieved this in such a year, when a damn hailstorm on July 24th seriously damaged the production warehouse of Opera Skis (with significant material losses and, above all, 9 weeks of missing work in the production peak)
- the selected models are 5 (+ 1…)
- the classic ones: Art65 and Art65evo
- the eclectic Art72
- the iconic Art89
- the race R24 (never released before)
- The first three ones are in the traditional model-colors (red, green, and black ash), on the other two ones, we have indulged ourselves with a very attractive natural walnut and other “powerful” colors (orange, black, and red ash)
- all skis have the Destination-Luxury logo laser painted on the tail
- for bindings, we offer technical combinations suitable for the characteristics and lengths of the various skis
- what is new for this season (that we have immediately adopted on the most performing bindings) are the Vist plates and bindings (certainly less common) as an alternative to the traditional Marker combinations with Piston plate
Numbering them emphasizes the exclusivity of this series
Below is a list of these 20 unique masterpieces (with lengths, characteristics, colors, and bindings): the 10 marked with the snowflake will be available fot live testing at the event organized for these phenomenal skis on Saturday, January 20th, in Carezza (Costalunga Pass) on Pra’ de Tori slope (which is the World Cup Snowboard track, not a very long slope but very technical to appreciate the test).
<NEW> the date has been postoponed from the previous calendar @ Saturday, December 16th in order to assure a broader coverage, most probably including Sunday morning too. Will be soon available a link for early-registering.
In addition to, of course, on the Destination-Luxury website (in the OperaSkis4Destination-Luxury section), the limited edition skis can be purchased at Enrico’s store @ Karer Pass (Sport Lucy).
The skis flagged as “Early Adopter” in the below list have already been sold (we are considering the establishment of a permanent register on our sites, a sort of “hall of fame” with the nicknames of the buyers, or with an indicative chosen by them), while the skis used for the tests (snowflake on the list, withdrawable by January 21st the earliest) will have a discount of €300 (in addition to being available for renting after the event, always at the store @ Karer Pass).
In case the limited edition ski of your interest is no longer available, the Opera Skis section @ Destination-Luxury marketplace allows you to order “the ski you want in the color you want” aka one of the 6 track models in assortment, finished in one of the 9 fascinating available colors, delivered to your home after 4-6 weeks (and if you want, your name or logo engraved).
Why only #20/23?
The correct answer would be evocative of the calendar year… with the certainty that this year, a maximum of 3 more will come out.
In reality, we have already agreed that we will be among the first to have the new model that OperaSkis is studying (of which we do not spoil, except that as Destination Luxury, we have been among the major instigators).
…if by chance it arrives in time for the event, we have deliberately left a small availability slot in the series (#21, #22, and #23), that we are confident to fill within the new date on January 20th
A beautiful story to tell: we chase our dreams and don't give up vs. adversity or challenges to be faced - work ethics eliminates fear.
