ART 125 is a fat, powder-dedicated ski handmade in Italy, built for riders who seek maximum float, stability, and confidence on the deepest days. With its wide platform, generous rocker, and supportive flex pattern, it delivers effortless surfiness in soft snow while maintaining dependable control when conditions become mixed or variable.
Construction & Materials
Wood Core
A lightweight yet powerful poplar–ash core provides a stable, energetic flex that boosts flotation while keeping the ski responsive in tight terrain.
Fiber Reinforcement
Triaxial fiberglass improves torsional rigidity, enhancing edge hold and precision without adding unnecessary weight to this wide ski.
Reinforcements
A combination of flax and carbon inserts increases strength and vibration dampening, giving the ski a smooth, composed ride even at higher speeds or in choppy snow.
Sidewalls
Durable PLY sidewalls ensure consistent flex, improved impact resistance, and reliable long-term performance.
Base
A high-performance nano-graphite base guarantees fast glide, excellent wax absorption, and stable performance across changing snow temperatures.
Profile & Flex
Rocker Profile
A double rocker with central camber offers exceptional float in deep snow, easy pivoting in tight spaces, and reliable edge engagement when transitioning onto firm terrain.
Flex
A medium-stiff flex provides powerful support for big landings and high-speed stability, while still allowing a smooth, surf-like ride characteristic of wide powder skis.

Field of Use
The ART 125 is designed for freeriders who spend their best days hunting untracked lines, steep faces, and deep snow. Its ultra-wide waist guarantees outstanding flotation, while the rocker-camber structure keeps it maneuverable in trees, bowls, and technical terrain. Whether slashing wind lips, surfing through pillows, or straight-lining open powder fields, the ski remains composed, predictable, and responsive.
Versatility & Performance
Although optimized for powder, the ART 125 maintains surprising versatility thanks to its balanced construction. The poplar/ash core and multi-layer reinforcement system create a stable, quiet platform that performs well when encountering wind-buff, soft crud, or compact snow. Its generous rocker brings a fluid, surfy feel, while the supportive flex encourages confident skiing at speed.
Craftsmanship & Aesthetic
Handmade in Italy, the ART 125 reflects OPERA’s dedication to premium materials and refined wood craftsmanship. PLY sidewalls reduce plastic use while enhancing durability, and the Wood Evolution construction highlights the quality and performance of high-grade wood. Each pair is available in a range of distinctive ash-color finishes, with optional laser customization for a fully personalized aesthetic.
