New ski graphics first look
You all know us for our crazy Limited Edition ski graphics, but what you may not know is how long and intense the process is to create them... IT'S NUTS!
Our design wizard Fank and I work tirelessly with artists from around the globe to create every graphic you see. We're talking months of back-and-forth, countless iterations, and more late-night Zoom calls than anyone should endure. It's exhausting, but also incredibly gratifying, we love art!🤘 IF IT WAS EASY, EVERYONE WOULD BE DOING IT.
Since you're on the J team, here's your EXCLUSIVE EARLY SNEAK PEEK of some of my favorite upcoming designs. Keep your eyes peeled for more details throughout the summer - we're dropping the full collection August 1st!

Here I am reviewing the final ski graphics printed on top and base material before the factory starts building these skis.
As soon as we saw Mikael B's paintings we knew it had to go on a pair of skis! We're pumped to be working with him on a new Joyride graphic next year.
We've always wanted to work with this legend, Lucas Beaufort. Bringing his vibezzz to a ski is going to be awesome! Which model do you want to see it on?
SUPER LIMITED! This season we'll be making less of each Limited Edition ski than ever before, only 100 pair of this collab. If you've skied during the summer at Mount Hood, you know this tube steak slinging crew. 🌭 Be first in line to get your hands on this delicious collab Aug 1st before they're gone...
Graphic design Jedi Masta Fank spends endless days ensuring our artist’s work fits naturally on the very odd shaped long skinny canvas that are skis. 🎨
Early concepts often start with a very rough sketch, like this new Allplay collab with artist Matt Stikker. He crushed it a couple years ago with the "Morning Sickness". This is the prequel we're calling, "Nightlifer".🍻
Fank submitted this graphic on the right to the factory for test prints. Then he placed it next to a past graphic on the left to compare transparency and print detail. This is going be a sick looking Masterblaster ski!
After we give the factory the “good to go” signal, they build a super Limited Edition quantity of each ski. During this portion of the manufacturing process our skis are hand crafted where it counts most and then complimented with some precision robotic finishing on the bases and edges for perfect consistency. 👌
Make sure you're signed up for Early Access so you can get first dibs and don't miss out on the graphic you want!
