Attention to detail has defined Madshus skis for over 100 years. From the bare hands construction in the beginning to today’s finely-tuned production process, our dedication to selecting the highest quality materials and producing the finest skis has never wavered.
The ambition was born in 1906 in a barn on the Vardal farm belonging to Martin Madshus’ father. Crafting his first wooden skis with hand-made tools, the obsession was cemented. Martin’s keen eye for materials focused intently on his core material, the raw wood purchased for shaping skis. Madshus ski builders purchased the wood as standing trees, spending the time inspecting each tree for the highest quality grains and potential cuts. Those that passed the inspection were marked with a Madshus axe, its steel M brand emblazoned to seal each tree’s fate with a Madshus shaper who would turn it into works of wintery art.
The make-up and variation within the raw goods has changed dramatically from the original wood trunks to today’s highly-controlled materials processes, but the principles remain the same. We use only the most well-defined and stable materials for the highest control of the production process and precision with the end product design. We apply that keen craftsman eye to the most thorough testing, and we produce each ski, boot and pole for the same standard of performance, for both the world-class athlete and the end consumer. Since 1906, that’s remained our hallmark, and the blaze from that axe lives on in every Madshus product today.

ERIK SPORTS…. Over 45 Years of Family Tradition!
Eric G Messler a Swedish Sargent in Arctic warfare developed a passion for Nordic skiing that would later become the inspiration to create Erik Sports in 1973 as a North American distributor for Nordic equipment.
My parents had a passion and respect for the outdoors which was enjoyably engraved in my way of life by learning to ski, fish, camp and hunt. They truly enjoyed the outdoors and took the time to include their kids. I have taught this same philosophy of respect and enjoyment of the outdoors to my children. This also is the standard for the products Erik Sports produces so that others can enjoy and experience the outdoors and hopefully include their children.
After a Nor’easter in 1993, I was Nordic skiing in fresh powder with the task of a brand name for Erik Sports products to which we could control engineering & quality. I wanted a name that would represent Nordic skiing, snowshoes & winter fun. Skiing for miles, my mind tangled in ideas, the task seemed to be unsuccessful. Then turning around to head home I noticed all the windward sides of the trees were coated with fresh white powder. From this angle the woods were peacefully white and the epiphany hit me. Whitewoods!
The products we sell are governed by our family’s standard of excellence and perseverance. We are actively involved in the engineering, design and production of all our products so that every product we sell will provide years of enjoyment.
