Northwest 100 178 CARBON #0766
Note: these skis feature a translucent topsheet highlighting the carbon construction underneath. Simply an awesome, unique feature of these hand-made skis !
Designed as one ski quiver, the Northwest came from Prior Athlete and staff demands for a do-it all ski. A versatile waist width allows the Northwest to rip a turn, float in the powder and remain playful in all conditions. The NW100 is on the in-bounds/park end of the scale, for those who want a one ski that does it all.
From charging cliffs to throwing down in the Black Park, the Northwest is our staff pick. Build in carbon to save weight, or quad-glass to instill confidence and a buttery smooth ride.
The flex pattern of the northwest is progressive, meaning that a playful tip and tail blends with a stiff underfoot platform. This creates a playful yet stable ski that can handle anything you throw at it. A long effective edge, and a large radius means that the NW will respond exceptionally at high speed. The softer tip and tail combined with a hybrid rocker profile allows the ski to release when needed and remain nimble in tight terrain.
The NW100 is the narrower waist width version suited to more varied snowpack or spring-like conditions. Build with traditional camber to create a wicked park ski, or in hybrid rocker for an all mountain charger.
Note: The NW 100 is not normally available in XTC Carbon.. these are a very unique build !

Further Customization
Custom Shapes
The Prior shop has been making custom "one off" snowboards since 1989. The layout and design of our factory has been built with this in mind. We can make a board to pretty much any shape and flex pattern you want. The following chart outlines prices for common revisions to existing templates:
| Description | C$ surcharge |
| Custom flex (softer or stiffer) | $70* |
| Narrowing waist | $150* |
| Widening waist | $150* |
| Full Custom Shape: total price +taxes |
2000 |
*These prices are estimates, and are variable depending on the shape and your specific request. Over 1cm of widening needs a custom template.
To apply one of these additional requests to your order, simply search on the website the word "custom" and pick whichever item applies and add to cart along with your order. Write any notes in the additional notes section and we will be in touch if we have any further questions.
Complete Custom Shapes
If your dream board requires more than the revisions listed above please email us with your ideas. Some discussion will be required to determine the best performance results. Ultimately the price will be determined by the complexity of the project.

Custom Graphics
Prior has been offering custom graphics since 1989 and provides a complete custom topsheet and base graphic service. This is ideal for riders who want a one-of-a-kind look on their Prior board, and for companies who desire special corporate gifts and/or promotions. Custom Topsheet fees are single set up design fees, and are required for tooling cost coverage. Custom to-sheets can be applied to multiple product and charges are split accordingly. Please contact us for any further enquiries or to begin the design process.
Topsheet Artwork
Topsheet design and colour options are almost unlimited. We can print topsheets of photo color quality. All topsheets are sublimated onto a white, matte nylon topsheet for a professional look and finish. (sorry we cannot sublimate onto a clear topsheet material therefore clear windows are not an option for one off customs). Above prices based on receipt of art in digital file format in either of the following formats:
* For art that is done in vector based (ie. Illustrator or similar) program we require artwork in PDF or AI format.
* For bit mapped based art (ie. Photoshop or similar) we require TIFF, PSD or PDFformats. The File size must be 300 DPI in rectangular shape that measures 6cm longer than desired board length x 34cm wide. Note that files will likely be in excess of 100MB and can be sent by Dropbox etc or dropped off at the factory.
Base Artwork
Prior offers diecut custom bases in one to three colors. As base colors are cut with a drag blade knife, so there are some design limitations. We ask that you first email a low res jpeg file to us for review and approval.
For any custom topsheet or shaping project you will need to contact our sales staff for guidance and accurate quotes. Please email us at orders@priorsnow.com or call 604 935 1923 to chat about your custom artwork or other custom options.
Timing
Our build times vary based on production volume and seasonal needs. We always aim to have your order built within 4 weeks of confirming your order. Sometimes this time will vary but rest assured we are putting the time and effort into hand building your custom ride!
For full custom orders build time is typically 6-8 weeks due to the supplier requirements for non-inventory items.
