Spoilt was founded in 2004 out of the passion for mountain sports from the Mazzoni's brothers (Sandro and Claudio, whom where raised in Kitzbuhel Austria, home of the world's famous Streif). Claudio, after spending 15 years working in the U.S.A. in the Hotel Management Industry, is responsible for the company's business and design. Sandro who's been involved for the last 20 years building snowboards, skis and composite frames, is the driving force behind the creative, engineering and design. Spoilt is a small company whose overarching goal is to develop new products, free of any set standards and any other limitations forced by large industrial productions. The continuous research for new shapes, technologies, and better materials are the fundamentals of the company's philosophy. The production of each ski/snowboard is followed in minute detail, from the initial layout or design through to product completion. (see product - construction). Spoilt prides itself in its handcrafted equipment. For this reason Spoilt must be considered home place for brainstorms and inspirations, where experimentations and creativity are given space to produce unique products.

"The history of Sporten skis dates back more than 100 years. Skis were handcrafted in small workshops in our Highlands in those times and every pair was an indisputable original. Much has changed since then, but one thing has stayed the same throughout these years - the craftsmanship of the local people and their love of nature and skiing.

Today Sporten is a successful genuine Czech company with an unusually broad product range of cross-country skis, alpine skis and snowboards that are intended not only for the domestic market. We export most of our skis to demanding markets in Scandinavia, the USA and Japan.

Our philosophy is to produce high quality skis at an affordable price that would make skiing more accessible and enjoyable. Here at Sporten that's what we are working on the whole year. We are rewarded every year by the achievements of the sportsmen we sponsor and by the satisfaction of you - our customer."

The White Rabbit description: "Slightly SEXY, slightly RACE, slightly SKICROSS - that all you can find in this top level ski with woodcore and titanal inside. Slim in the waist like racing, radius adjusted to universal usage, uncompromising grip on ice. CRAZY design increasing level of hormones."

For the '08/'09 season we have upgraded all of our riser/binding combinations to use aluminum "Pro Series" risers. This provides an extra margin of strength for the park and for aggressive mogul riding. We are offering four different binding models that provide riders of different weights and riding styles a choice that best fits them. We continue to offer our two longboards - the "120" and the 130cm "Sherpa". These boards are now well characterized by a wide range of riders and have become the benchmark against which all other longboards are measured. Our products are offered exclusively in North America for the second year by www.skiboardsonline.com (SBOL). Their commitment to selling only high quality skiboard products and their dedication to our sport makes them an outstanding partner for us.

The Finest Technology Without Compromise - Titanal: This elegant aluminum/titanium alloy is used to reinforce each ski’s tip, tail guard and topsheet border. With excellent durability, Titanal provides palpable rebound when slicing through heavy snow or gripping from edge to edge on hardpack and ice. Titanal’s inherent metallic gleam provides a stunning frame for the skis’ exotic wood topsheets.- Exotic Wood Topsheets: Selected from some of the rarest and most striking examples of natural timber, Sterling’s exotic wooden topsheets are a luxurious complement to the skis’ top-notch performance. Offered in one of three beautiful specimens—Palisander Santos, Madrona Burl or Bird’s-Eye Maple—and framed in luminous Titanal, each Sterling ski presents an image of craftsmanship and art.- Sandwich Construction: Sterling Skis are crafted by hand, using the most complete and refined ski fabrication process available. Layering the ski materials in a sandwich assembly with sidewalls creates a more productive flex pattern and increases torsional strength. Because of the inclusive benefits of precise fine-tuning for all possibilities, racing skis are still constructed using this method.- Stainless Steel Edges: Sterling’s 48 HRC stainless steel edges were chosen for their incredible grip, control, speed and endurance, maintaining the skier’s capacity for driving hard lines and holding the sidecut radius to task. These edges are designed for clutching and carving through all surfaces while having the stability of a locomotive.- Flex: We have selected a unique, proprietary wood core that is light yet provides an exceptional flex pattern and pop. Combined with our torsional stiffness, each ski maintains a reflexive edge grip from tip to tail.- Base: Our nano-carbon bases are established structural materials used to make the best racing skis of today. Providing the fastest surface and most effective glide over all conditions, nano-carbon surfaces can be finely tuned to various resistance levels depending on the terrain and moisture content in the snow.- Plates & Bindings: To enhance Sterling Skis high-performance construction, we tailored our plate and binding system to be the perfect match for response, control, fluidity and style. The elevated and adjustable plates are designed to position the binding system for optimal power control when engaging the sidecut and progressing to your next turn.
