2026 Ferreol Pionnier 104 2.0 Skis

Made in Canada

This year, the Ferreol Pionnier 104 gets a full refresh! After five seasons of snowy fun, our engineering team found the inspiration to take this beloved ski to the next level—introducing the Pionnier 104 2.0.

The team managed to preserve the core identity of the Pionnier—its agility and versatility—while adding an extra dose of stability. The sidecut has been redesigned to allow for smoother turn initiation, and the 3-point camber has been refined to make the ski even more playful at lower edge angles. They also slightly increased the flex stiffness at the tail for added support and drive out of turns.

 On top of that, the construction was rethought: an aluminum mounting plate now provides reinforcement underfoot, and the full-length carbon layer has been replaced with a 100 mm carbon strip—reducing the ski’s carbon footprint compared to the previous version while increasing its durability. The result? A ski that’s exceptionally agile, versatile, and tuned to meet a wide range of skiing styles and terrain types.

Ferreol Pionnier 104 2.0 Ski Features:

Poplar heart: The poplar cores are sourced from sustainable forests in the Lower St. Lawrence region, less than 100 km from the factory. The harvesting process respects the environment with selective logging and promotes forest regeneration, making the skis lightweight and durable.

Titanal Plate: The titanal plate withstands harsh conditions, adding rigidity under the boot for better grip and stability on firm snow, exceeding safety standards.

Carbon fiber: Perfect for high-end and touring skis, carbon fiber offers an excellent lightness/rigidity ratio, ensuring skis that are light on the ascent and solid on the descent.

Fiberglass: While fiberglass is not as rigid as carbon fiber, it does offer greater strength. Strength lies in a fiber's ability to resist breaking under the weight of a load. This is why this fiber is the preferred choice when it comes to providing strength and durability to skis.

Bio-sourced epoxy: Entropy Resins' bio-based Super Sap epoxy uses renewable materials, offering performance equivalent to traditional resins with reduced environmental impact.

Bio-sourced topsheet: The 50% bio-based topsheet, made from renewable materials and 20% recycled materials, is made with castor oil, ensuring exceptional durability and waterproofing.

Stiffness: 

Just like the previous version, this new generation 2.0 offers flexural and torsional rigidities, which combined with the 3-point camber and other geometric characteristics, provide both grip on firm snow and agility. The Pionnier 104 2.0, however, has a tail that has been stiffened mainly in flexion, allowing a more balanced ski in the front and rear, giving the skier more support in the face of possible imbalances coming from the skied terrain.

Vertical Addiction ships orders via Canada Post expedited service with tracking and $100 insurance included. Delivery times vary: 2–3 business days within Alberta/BC, 3–4 days to Saskatchewan/Manitoba, and up to 9 days for eastern provinces. U.S. orders may take 7–15 business days due to customs. Expedited shipping is available upon request.

Returns are accepted on regular-priced items within 10 business days, provided they are unused and in original condition with tags and packaging. Sale items and climbing/safety gear are final sale. Customers must contact the store for a return authorization (RA#) and are responsible for return shipping. Refunds are issued to the original payment method. Warranty claims for defective items can be directed to the store for manufacturer processing.

How do you ship?
All the orders are shipped with Canada Post. We use their Expedited service which offers a tracking number and $100 insurance. Depending on your location, you can expect you parcel do take between 2 to 8 business days to get to you once shipped. Here's a rough estimate: 

• Alberta and British-Columbia: 2-3 business days
• Sasakatchewan-Manitoba: 3-4 business days
• Ontario and Quebec: 6-8 business days
• Maritimes: 7-9 business days

If you are ordering from the USA, you can expect between 7 and 15 business days before you see your order. That is because sometimes, the duty clearance takes time to process.

Can I get my order faster?
Yes you can. If you want your order to ship faster, you can leave us a note when you do your purchase online. We will then get a quote from Canada Post and will contact you with the shipping costs. Please note that we are not responsible for shipping costs when you want it expedited. You will have to cover all the cost for this shipping method. 

Do you ship internationally?
We can. If you live outside Canada or the United-States of America, you can send us an email with the item you would like buy and your full address and we can get a quote from different courriers. Once we have an idea of the shipping cost, we will confirm with you the amount and then, we can proceed with phone order.
