Description

Grand Chavin wooden skis with "Lama" bindings using the Attenhofer Flex patent. Grand Chavin was established in 1925 in Les Rousses, France. They had a great many strong years until they added snowboards to their lineup in the late 1980s. They grew this activity until they became the second-largest seller of snowboards. This got them the attention of Rossignol, who acquired them effective January 1, 2000.
