Project 83 Eco

The 2027 Extrem Project 83 Eco is a frontside ski for groomers and the variable snow that accumulates as the day goes on. Its 83 mm waist and short 13–16 m radii favor quick carved turns, while light rocker at the tip and tail helps it stay manageable in chopped snow. It shares the standard Project 83’s sidecut and size geometry, but is built for a more forgiving ride.

A beech and poplar core balances support with a more agile feel, and the ski uses recycled content in several components. Extrem lists 70% recycled ABS, 50% recycled base material and topsheet material, and 20% recycled steel edges. The product page also specifies a thicker steel edge and base, intended to tolerate wear and extend service life. The short radius makes it easy to bring around, but it is not designed as a long-radius high-speed charger.

Choose the Eco if you mainly ski pistes and want an approachable carver for fresh corduroy, afternoon chop and spring snow, with a documented focus on recycled materials and durability. It suits intermediate and advanced skiers who enjoy turning frequently; experts seeking maximum damping and top-end stability may prefer the full-metal Project 83. It is still a frontside ski, so its narrow waist is a limitation in deep powder. The 162 cm is the most nimble, while the 183 cm gives a longer platform. Extrem sells it without bindings.
