The Story of G3
In 1995 G3's founder, Oliver Steffen, developed his first product. He followed one fundamental rule: G3 gear must be true "guide gear". That product was an innovative, and dependable avalanche probe that set a new standard for function and reliability in the backcountry ski market.
Since then, G3's team has steadily raised the bar for backcountry gear, with innovations including the TARGA telemark binding, High Performance Climbing Skins, AviTECH shovel, and Bonesaw. Each of these products has been developed and tested for guides and avalanche professionals; essentials in the professional's kit that must be strong, light, reliable, and functional.
Our newest product innovation is one inspired by many years of combining skiing experience and product design. After two full years of intensive market research, development, and testing, G3 Skis are now available. A superior choice for both AT and telemark set-ups, G3 skis were launched in 2004 with design support from backcountry guru Paul Parker '± a 22-year veteran of ski and boot design. The diverse G3 ski collection features seven distinct skis built with all-wood cores for long-lasting, snappy performance.
In all G3 skis, semi-cap construction delivers round flex underfoot and torsional rigidity throughout the ski, while tough top sheets and well-proven bases stay fast in a wide variety of temperatures and conditions. Ensuring durability and performance, substantial binding reinforcement on G3 skis supports both telemark and alpine touring (AT) bindings. Asymmetry: Defined The Ticket, The Rapid Transit and the new Luscious have a unique asymmetric sidecut. The skis' two outside edges - those under your little toes - are designed with a tighter turn radius than the inside edges. These little-toe edges are on the inside of each of your turns, parallel or telemark. Think of them like the inside of wheels of a car that's making a turn: the inside wheels follow a tighter line than the outside wheels. In the case of G3 skis, these tighter radiused edges are more active in each turn, resulting in more inside ski control, precise transitions, and crisp, snappy arcs.

Slice through crud with efficient speed and carve turns like a speedboat with G3 Genuine Guide Gear's Rapid Transit ski that handles deep pow and hard-packed snow alike. You get precise edge-to-edge control with the asymmetrical edge design which uses slightly different angles at the outside and inside sidecuts - just like the wheels on a car - as it turns to provide crisp turning power, even with a 91 mm waist that can hold its own on powder. Specifications based on 166 cm length.
Fat and stable, the Rapid Transit rips through crud like an express train on a schedule. While its round flex and ample dimensions guarantee a fast, stable ride in big snow and big-mountains, its unique asymmetric design gives it uncommon edge-to-edge response and hold. The RT is G3's most precise, crisp-turning fat board. It is the world’s first fat asymmetric, and reaps the biggest benefit from this unique design with its remarkably versatile performance, from fluff to firm.
