Yeah, you could buy skis from a lot of ski shops, You can read ski reviews where self appointed experts tell you which skis are the best skis of that particular season. OR you could go to Community Skis and have Michael custom design skis for your style, the conditions typical to your mountain and the specific purpose you have in mind! Want to slay the pow? No worries, he can dial you in. Want a front side carver that rides like it's on rails? You bet.
Oh, and here's the kicker, you can channel your inner artist and design your own graphics which Kristin in my case morphed into something way cooler than I was able to think of AND the skis will be priced to compete with the mass produced off the shelf models you see everywhere on the mountain! Yeah, almost too good to be true. Thankfully, they are for real.
Want to take it to the next level and actually get hands on with the production of your skis? Yeah, you can do that too. I'm 6'6" and far too close to 300 lbs so finding a powder ski that was big enough was flat out impossible. Figured I would throw them a curve with an email shot across the bow, Could they design skis for someone my size. Michael didn't bat an eye. Just started asking how I skied, what did I want out of the ski in terms of performance etc. Two weeks later I showed up for a weekend of ski design / manufacturing. Walked away Sunday with a sweet pair of Carbon Fiber Skis that will make powder FUN!! They look pretty sweet to.
Did I mention the gourmet dinner Kristin whipped up? Yeah, as if the skis weren't enough, turns our she's a chef and well all sat down to an amazing meal to talk about their back story. I won't retell that story here, just check out the website. You won't regret it.
Great folks, making great skis, at prices that anyone in the market for new skis can afford. What's not to like. read more
