SALT LAKE CITY (Jan. 17, 2025) — PHANTOM Glide, the permanent, single-application base treatment for skis and snowboards, is partnering with a number of high-profile resorts and brands in the ski industry in 2025 to enhance the experience of skiers and snowboarders while also reducing their environmental impacts. On the heels of a very successful sales year during the 2023/2024 ski season, and capitalizing on the momentum from the recent hires of Olympic Gold Medalists, Ted Ligety and Billy Demong, PHANTOM Glide has been chosen to come standard on DPS’ new Pisteworks® carving skis and on refurbished DPS skis at Geartrade.com.
This season, PHANTOM Glide is proud to partner with some of the nation’s premier resorts, including Aspen Snowmass, Sunday River, Loon Mountain, Pleasant Mountain and Sugarloaf. PHANTOM Glide is in its seventh year of partnership with Aspen Snowmass to treat its entire rental fleet of skis with the innovative base treatment, which provides unparalleled glide performance and boosts the efficiency of Aspen Snowmass’ rental shops by lessening the required maintenance on the rental fleet skis.
“At resorts like Aspen Snowmass and Loon Mountain, I’m hearing firsthand how PHANTOM Glide is making a real difference,” says Doug Sheehy, Global Sales Manager at PHANTOM Glide. “These great resorts, along with Sunday River, Pleasant Mountain, and Sugarloaf, are deeply committed to creating unforgettable mountain experiences while protecting the environment they depend on. They see PHANTOM Glide as a win-win: it enhances ski and snowboard performance for their guests while supporting their sustainability goals. It’s exciting to see how enthusiastic they are about offering this innovative solution to their visitors this season.”
In addition to its resort partnerships, PHANTOM Glide is collaborating with several ski and snowboard manufacturers to test and implement the treatment across demo fleets and product lines. Weston Backcountry and Cardiff Snowcraft, are offering PHANTOM Glide as a preferred option on all skis, snowboards and splitboards sold on their websites and DPS Skis will feature PHANTOM Glide on all Pisteworks® skis.
“Our partnerships with leading resorts and manufacturers reflect PHANTOM Glide’s growing reputation as a game-changer in snow sports,” said Billy Demong, Head of Strategic Product Development at PHANTOM Glide. “When you glide with PHANTOM, you’re not just enhancing your time on the mountain, you’re contributing to a cleaner, greener future.”
PHANTOM Glide is a permanent, wax-free treatment applied just once to the base of skis or snowboards. The treatment bonds deep into the base material, delivering consistent and reliable glide in all snow conditions without the need for traditional waxing. PHANTOM Glide provides increased glide for the lifetime of the ski or snowboard and possesses no environmental harm or harm to humans. For maximum efficacy, it is recommended that customers take their skis and snowboards to an authorized PHANTOM Glide dealer with a PHANTOM Glide “Magic Box” cure station.
