Inside the Factory
Where every snowboard & ski is hand-built.
A look inside our workshop — from raw material storage and mold rooms to the pressing line and final QC bench. Every square metre exists to produce better boards.
Press Hall
Our main pressing corridor houses 20+ hydraulic heat-press machines, each delivering 12-tonne clamp force to fuse layers under controlled temperature.
CNC Core Milling
Multi-spindle CNC routers profile wood core blanks with sub-millimetre precision, shaping flex patterns and insert pockets in a single pass.
Mold Library
Over 100 precision-machined molds stored on metal racks — each one defines a unique board shape, camber profile, and sidecut geometry.
Wood Core Storage
Pallets of sustainably-sourced poplar, paulownia, and bamboo blanks acclimatise in our climate-controlled warehouse before CNC milling.
Composite Materials Warehouse
Rolls of biaxial and triaxial fiberglass, epoxy resins, rubber sidewall strips, and base material — all imported from premium European suppliers.
Press Control Stations
Each press features individual temperature and pressure controls. Technicians monitor cure cycles to ensure consistent lamination quality.
Finished Board Warehouse
Thousands of completed snowboards and skis on mobile racks, sorted by model and size, awaiting final QC inspection and packaging.
Dispatch Staging Area
Finished products staged on rolling carts for worldwide shipment — organised by order, ready for protective wrapping and container loading.
Manufacturing Process
9 steps from raw material to finished snowboard.
Precision craftsmanship at every stage — from base preparation to mold pressing. Each step is quality-monitored under our IQC → IPQC → FQC → OQC management system.
01
02Rubber Strip Installation
02 / 09Apply rubber damping strips along the sidewalls to improve vibration absorption and enhance riding stability.
03Fiberglass Layer Placement
03 / 09Lay the bottom triaxial fiberglass sheet evenly across the mold surface to provide structural reinforcement and flex performance.
04Wood Core Alignment & Inserts
04 / 09Position the CNC-shaped wood core and install binding inserts accurately for optimal strength and mounting precision.
05Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
05 / 09Add carbon fiber strips in X or V pattern to improve torsional stiffness, pop response, and high-speed stability.
06Top Fiberglass Lamination
06 / 09Cover the structure with the upper triaxial fiberglass layer to complete the sandwich construction and improve overall durability.
07Topsheet Assembly
07 / 09Place the custom UV/matte-finished topsheet carefully onto the snowboard structure for graphic protection and final surface finishing.
08Full Stack Mold Loading
08 / 09Transfer the complete layered snowboard assembly into the heated press mold, ensuring precise alignment before curing begins.
09Hydraulic Press Curing
09 / 09Activate the high-pressure hydraulic press at precisely controlled temperature and time to bond all layers and form the final shape.

Quality · Process
Tested before it's shipped.
A four-stage QC system, six inspection gates and a six-step manufacturing line — every Future Snow snowboard & ski is logged from raw board to finished product.
System
Design Quality Assurance
Every newly designed product goes through rigorous laboratory function tests and long-term snow-field tests. Only when every indicator meets our spec does the product enter the market — for rider safety and the pleasure of skiing.
Guarantee
Raw Material Quality Control
Only good raw materials produce good products. 90% of our materials are imported — top sheet, base, steel edges, epoxy resin, rubber strip, ink. Suppliers are best-in-class and incoming material is inspected against strict standards.
Quality
Production Process Monitoring
A quality assurance system spans the entire pipeline — raw material to semi-finished to finished product. Refined control over every component keeps the build sheet honest and the press cycle repeatable.
Product
Final Finished-Product Acceptance
Every ski or snowboard goes through a battery of final checks — flex, edge, base, weight, cosmetics. If a snowboard doesn't pass, it doesn't leave the building.

Materials · Reinforcements · Hardware
Everything we stack into a snowboard.
90% of our raw materials are imported — top sheet, base, steel edges, epoxy resin, rubber strips and inks. Every supplier is one of the best in its category, locked in by spec.
Construction
Two structures, one press.
Snowboards are pressed in a 9-layer sandwich; skis are wrapped in an 8-layer CAP construction. Both are vacuum-bagged into our CNC molds and cured under 12 tons of clamp force.

Athletes & Friends
Built for riders, ridden hard.
“I have been riding Future Snow boards for four seasons. The Ridgeline 158 is the most predictable snowboard I've ever pushed off a cornice — chatter-free at 80 km/h.”

Léa Marchand
Freeride World Tour rider
“We tested twelve different cores last winter for our touring line. The paulownia / ash combo Future Snow mills is, hands down, the lightest stiff core we've ridden.”

“They built me a custom 162W with a swallow tail and a 2cm setback. Two prototypes, three meetings, and they nailed it on round one of production.”

Whoever shaped my new touring skis at Future Snow — thank you. Climbing skin track + steep couloir = same ski. Magic.

Pressed boxes all day yesterday on the Future Snow twin. Edges still sharp. Topsheet still alive. I'm sold.

Shop visited the factory last week. Ten people, hand-laminating every snowboard. Wild that this still exists.

162 swallow with paulownia + carbon stringers. Floats in waist-deep, holds a 7m carve. How.

I make my whole team demo the Ridgeline before they teach. It's just the cleanest reference board to learn on.

Their split kit + skin attachment system is night-and-day better than my old setup. Worth every euro.
@tilda.flex
Boardbuilder, friend of the shop
Toured their CNC room. 100+ molds. They actually press one-off custom shapes. Massively impressed.

Ridden their carbon-stringer freeride for two seasons in chamonix. Edges still original. No delam.
