A skier body and soul
- • Viktor skis 50 days a year and spends the summer making skis
- • Using eco materials and limiting waste are important to him
- • He started designing skis after breaking his own
Viktor Devečka comes from the most popular skiing region in Slovakia and worked as a ski instructor from the age of 16. He is passionate about skiing through and through. But as he puts it: “Skiing is only the icing on the cake.” Aside from the sport, it is his passion for design and product development that have driven him towards his craft. He started designing skis and making his first technical drawings at 18, and by 22 he had made his first pair of custom skis. What spurred him to open his own workshop in 2013 was an accident in which he broke his freeride skis. Viktor worked to rebuild and redesign them, and managed to meet 95% of the design standards set for the following season. These skis became the PERUN model as we know it today.

Four Forest Skis models
Four different ski models: PERUN, LOTOR, FROST and SKADI. PERUN, the first are wide freeride skis with a walnut topsheet. LOTOR is a mid-fat asymmetric backcountry pair with green print on an oak topsheet. FROST is an allmountain pair with a cherry topsheet, and the fourth pair, SKADI, is a narrow pair of freeride skis made with indigo-dyed flax.
