Cutting edge skis and snowboards

Verispellis aims to revolutionize ski and snowboard technology - using digital, electronics, and metallurgical technology.

It all began when two Boston area medical professionals joined forces to explore the possibility of applying shape memory alloys - a cutting-edge material used in medical devices (source) - to ski and snowboard technology.

Also known as Nitinol, this material helped to create a pair of our “shape-shifting” skis and snowboards. Because of its flexible properties and basic structure on a molecular level - Nitinol can respond to changes in temperature. Perfect for something often so unpredictable like snow and weather.

With this, we think Verispellis may be the most innovative concept since shaped skis were developed in the late 80’s early 90’s (source).

Ski technology has changed very little over the past few decades

Weather conditions change hourly and in this day and age, we think skis should be made to adapt to these conditions.

We feel we will bring skiing and snowboarding into the twenty-first century. Not only by incorporating this cutting-edge material, but going even further by connecting them to smartphones.

Introducing a paradigm shift in snow sports

We believe Verispellis will bring innovation to the winter sports market by offering skis with variable torsional stiffness and rocker, plus added vibration control – all from the tips of one’s fingers.

Here are the specs behind our game-changing  technology:

• Instrumented with digital, electronic, & metallurgical technology to change physical performance characteristics on demand
• Ability to control skis and/or snowboard characteristics via any smartphone
• IoT component to connect skis and/or snowboard to the internet
• Built in sensors to provide live skiing / boarding performance data to user
• Ability to collect data lake on ski performance, mountain/trail conditions, and weather for analytics and future monetization
• Ability to digitally customize ski mechanics to match user ability and performance demands

These shape memory alloys change the physical properties of skis and snowboards on demand -  all via a smartphone app.

That means the skier or boarder can adjust the stiffness of their ski or snowboard based on changes in the snow condition or type. By inserting Nitinol in key locations of the ski or snowboard, and modulating the stiffness of the Nitinol sheets via a Bluetooth connection and mobile application - the entire performance of the ski or snowboard can be changed in a matter of seconds. 

We do this by utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) capability through inclusion of sensors to collect live usage data.

We will use a royalty-based business model from top 3 manufacturers, as winter sports are our initial market focus. That means...

• Limited engineering professional services
• Low capital requirements 

Skiing is trending upward 

The global ski gear and equipment market was valued at around $1.22 billion U.S. dollars in 2018, and was forecast to reach about $1.74 billion U.S. dollars by 2028 (source).

Not to mention…

• Alpine Touring Backcountry is experiencing significant growth (source)
• There is a 75% Growth in Pass Sales at Vail Resorts from  2021 to 2022 (source)

We believe we will have a first mover advantage in incorporating this level of technology into winter sports, so you could say we think we are miles ahead in the competition. 

Let's get ready for the 2022/23 ski season

Our current Active Control System version and prototype skis are mature enough to complete industrialization to be commercially ready for the next ski season.

Here’s how we got here:

We already have collaborations in place, and are working to partner with one major ski/snowboard brand for co-development.

So far, people are raving about our skis:

We think snow sports technology is about to make significant strides

And we anticipate being a part of that change. 

Our vision is to have an exit strategy through sales/licensing, making our technology available through major brands in the industry.

Until then, we plan on using this raise towards the development of consumer-ready products, our marketing campaigns, industry demos, and cultivating industry relationships.

We are experiencing a renewed interest in snow sports, where people are rushing back to the mountains (source, source) - join us as we align with this renewal and bring a technology-enhanced product to the market.

Invest in Veripellis, and invest in the potential future of winter sports.
