Tesla_Ski_Elon_Musk_RENOUN_1.png

As a company centered around innovation, the high-tech ski company RENOUN has a perpetual soft spot for Elon Musk and the companies he’s created.

RENOUN always felt someone like the real-life Iron Man should be on a pair of skis with futuristic technology — so they made him some.

They’ve been hunting him down for the last 3 years and just shipped Mr. Musk his skis: a 1-of-1 pair design in iconic Tesla Red based off the original Endurance design. It’s a “thank you” to one of the grittiest and most determined men of this century — and one who’s bound to change it.

Under the hood, the skis are also unique — just like a Tesla. All RENOUN skis incorporate HDT: a material that makes the skis feel stiffer as speeds increase, which make the smoothest and most controlled skis in the world. They essentially adapt on-the-fly to conditions.

The technology has won RENOUN more awards than they have full-time employees.

The skis for Elon have RENOUN’s tagline “Rules are meant to be broken” and our a little note printed on the ski that says: “for the man daring to break more than a few rules”.

“The guy is a badass and he deserves badass skis” says Founder Cyrus Schenck.

That is a great looking ski.
Maybe they'll be seeing skiing around Tahoe this season.

So what binding would you put on these :)

Should he even mount these or just put them on display somewhere? I kinda thought there would be a supercharger port on these or solar panels somewhere...

Why does a reclusive billionaire public figure want to be that recognizable in a lift line?
Have you ever seen him ski around Tahoe? I have. He's not easy to miss.

Any idea where?
I know he skis out of Northstar. A friend of ours who instructs there had someone he was with. We also saw him leaving Martis Camp one day.

I am guessing not at Mt Rose, so either Squaw or Northstar?
Northstar for sure, and I think Squaw as well.

A couple years ago he was driving the Tesla Model 3 before it was released. @Philpug recognized it right away.
I think that was the time he ad his companion paid for a private lesson just to get line cuts.

Oh yeah? How so? I am legitimately curious as to what makes him stand out on the slopes (aside from the forthcoming custom skis ;) ).
