"Nano high-speed racing surfacing" you always know someone is talking b0llocks about a consumer product whenever the phrase 'nano' is thrown into the conversation. I mean really, what's the point. If they gave any kind of benefit then they'd be on the world cup circuit. They aren't and the skis don't do squat that a ski a quarter of the price can do. They are simply a conspicuous consumption product soyou can match your over priced golf cubs..

They might well be... what's the particle size of the graphite component of graphite impregnanted ski bases? Could reasonably be submicron after all.
The bollocks may merely be in the undue emphasis on something that is a common feature commanding a modest price premium, as if to suggest that it is state of the art technology that totally justifies its price tag.
Carradan, now... their marketers knew how to spout the most implausible crap to hype their products. None of this 'nano' nonsense. Why, I'll bet Zai cores are made from trees all grown in the same hemisphere. Pfft.

"2007 For the very first time and unique to date carbon nanotubes are used in ski construction."
Why use it? I mean, you can use diamonds and uranium but it isn't going to help the construction of the ski, is it?
"2011 Zai is chosen as official ski of the Fis World Alpine Ski Championships 2011 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen."
That's sponsorship - bung them enough money and they'll make a foam core ski star for the proceedings.
They may be buying a product that has been constructed using nanotech and using it to build a ski but so what, anyone can buy such stuff. The issue is whether it actually is a better material than bog standard p-tex for the purpose. If the pores are smaller then it actually might be a worse material for a number of reasons.
Has anyone actually won a serious race using these skis?
