FRANCOIS SYLVAIN

Engineer & Owner

Our engineering assassin that turns numbers into the best skis on earth. He grew up a Quebec legend winning ski races. Over the years he's engineered skis & built factories for many brands, including Line skis with me from 1999-2007. He helped get J off the ground as well as Utopie MFG, Altai Skis. If your car gets dented by hail, call his company Nimbus to fix it!

JF BOUCHARD

Utopie Ski Factory

JF and his crew turn epoxy, wood and plastic into beautiful skis. Fifteen years ago he started building snowboards for friends and has since grown into one of the most advanced ski & board factories in North America. Utopie MFG is located in Rimouski Quebec as far north east as you can get before falling into the ocean. The perfect secret lair for brewing up, top secret product from the future.

MARK "FANK" FANKHAUSER

Graphic Design & Owner

The wizard of artz, lives in Seattle and comes to my rescue when I shine a search light in the sky that says FANK. He helped me scheme up the J brand from day one and we worked relentlessly the first few years all day and night to get it off the ground. He's the wittiest thinker and fastest clicker in the biz with two decades driving Ride Snowboards design and marketing and now our full-time designer, art director and overall total bad ass for J skis. Follow on Instagram...

TAYLOR "DALE PHILLIPS" BIBAUD

Marketing Manager and Team Skibladezzz Team Manager

Taylor, our resident New England sports enthusiast hales from the little town of Oakham, MA, who's nearest gas station is a 20 minute drive. Taylor grew up night skiing at Wachusett Mountain before making the move North to Vermont where he studied Management of Creative Media at Champlain College. I hired Taylor when he was still in college as my first ever employee at J, and somehow he's still here today! Taylor's now a converted Vermonter riding mountain bikes, shooting guns and listening to country music. Pass this man a Bud Light!

LYNDSEY RYAN

Operations Manager

A genunine Upstate'r, Lyndsey was born and raised in Syracuse, NY (go orange), and has spent hundreds of days skiing at Labrador Mountain. Lyndsey's been on skis since she was 3 years old and has taught skiing for 7 years. When not shredding the Allplay ski, Lyndsey plays golf, hits the crossfit gym and hikes with her Shiba Inu named Kairi (Go Dodge coin!). She studied Business Administration and Marketing at SUNY Platsburgh and helped run the first ever on-campus rail jam at the school. If you're product doesn't arrive on time, blame her!

CONNOR SAUNDERS

Customer Service / Male Model

Growing up in the sleepy town of Warner, NH, Connor found his home on the icey slopes of Pat's Peak, Ragged Mtn and Mount Sunapee. Connor spent his college years at the Killington School of Resort Management, shredding the Beast 7 days a week. He's been a long-time J skier loving laps on the Whipit and Allplay - and he's hard-pressed to think there's a better graphic than the legendary "Colorado". A former liftie and shop manager, Connor is a stoked East Coast skier that enoys skateboarding, beer, and a solid après session.

NOAH SPAETH

Customer Service / Mustache Enthusiast

Another Connecticut flat-lander turned ski bum, Noah got his first day on skis at 16 months old and never looked back. He spent the majority of his youth skiing Hunter Mountain, NY (the highest per capita Jets jerseys of any ski resort) until he relocated to Vermont for college. He's our resident Neuro-Scientist in the office (seriously - I read his application) who prefers time spent touring in the Bolton backcountry and off the Notch road to days spent waiting in lift lines. When Noah's not crushing on the Masterblaster ski he enjoys reading, playing chess and fine-tuning his mustache to perfection!
