A decade ago, Renoun created a legend on the slopes with the Z-90—a ski that redefined what it meant to carve while still delivering incredible versatility. And now, after 10 years, this iconic performer is back, ready to ignite your passion for speed, precision, and pure fun on the mountain. Get ready to experience a ride that seamlessly blends the art of carving with all-mountain adaptability, perfect for skiers who crave both power and playfulness.

In Renoun’s early days, founder Cyrus Schenck set out to build “skiable artwork,” and the Z-90 became their crowning achievement. While technically designed as a carving ski, the Z-90 was no ordinary carver—it effortlessly slayed trees, handled light powder days, and crushed hardpack with precision and ease. Now, as a nod to their origins, Renoun is bringing back this game-changing ski for a limited-time, and it’s packed with everything that made it legendary.

Original Z-90 compared to New Z-90 

At the heart of the Z-90 is Renoun’s signature VibeStop technology, which adapts to terrain and speed to deliver unmatched stability. Whether you're cruising casually or flying down steep groomers, VibeStop™ adjusts on the fly, giving you a ride so smooth, it feels like you’re floating. And when it’s time to lock in those turns, the Z-90 bites with confidence, keeping you razor-sharp and in control no matter the conditions.


Blister Gear Review  says it best: "The Z-90’s strength lies in its incredible ability to carve up groomers with stability and pop, yet it’s never sluggish or overly heavy." This ski lives for the carve—it’s a thrill-seeker’s dream when you're tearing through fresh corduroy or navigating chopped-up afternoon snow. Its traditional carving shape with wide tips and tail-heavy sidecut pull you into every turn with precision, and the snappy 15-meter turning radius keeps things lively and responsive.

But here’s where the Z-90 goes beyond your typical carver—it’s built to handle a variety of terrain with ease. Those cruisy, laid-back days? The Z-90 is playful and nimble at slower speeds, but when you need it, it’s ready to unleash full power for steep pitches, tight trees, or challenging afternoon chop.

Returning unchanged, the Z-90’s solid maple core, embedded VibeStop, and full titanal sheets guarantee torsional stiffness and strength that will fuel your most aggressive runs. Available in three lengths (163cm, 170cm, and 177cm), the Z-90 offers options for any advanced skier who wants a ski with endless possibilities.

This isn’t just a ski—it’s a statement. If you’re an intermediate to advanced skier who demands both carving precision and versatility across the mountain, the Z-90 is back. Get ready—come December, this masterpiece returns to Renoun’s lineup, bringing power, precision, and pure stoke to every run. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Renoun history, whether you’re shredding it on the slopes or hanging it proudly on your wall.
