Who is Jason Levinthal and JSkis?

HI, I’M J

Hi! My name is Jason Levinthal, and I’m the skier that built the first twin-tip skis in my parent’s garage to start the ski company “LINE” back in 1995. For over 25 years I’ve been pioneering game-changing, award-winning skis on a relentless mission to make skiing way more fun. I’ve launched, grown, acquired and sold multiple ski brands working with my friends that happen to be some of the smartest, most badass engineers, athletes, artists and forward thinking minds in the industry. I even won a medal in the first X Games! These are by far my best skis yet, hope you enjoy!

From one skier to another, hit me up anytime! @jasonlevinthal jason@Jskis.com

THIS IS MY CREW

Bunch of gapers making shit happen here at the speed of thought

“FANK” MARK FANKHAUSER

Fank is an art nerd and industry legend who’s spent decades scheming hilarious ideas into mind blowing graphics. He works in a secret underground lair in West Seattle, only coming out for coffee and to shred Stevens side-country with his homies. @fank209

TAYLOR BIBAUD

Dale Phillips was our first employee, and is somehow still here! He directs all the marketing that makes you love us. Grew up night skiing Wachusett MA, now a real Vermonter, mountain biking, shooting guns and listening to country music. Pass this man the clear! @uvmcatamounts

LYNDSEY RYAN

If your product doesn’t arrive on time, blame her! This superhero wrangles factories and shippers to get’r made and into your hands. She’s a lifetime upstate New Yorker that enjoys ice skiing at Greek Peak and hanging with Kairi, her Shiba Inu. Go Dodge coin! @lyndsey_marie

TYLER ZIBKOWSKI

He’s the voice behind the J on social media saying what’s up and sharing your badass pics and vids. Ty left his high paying job in the automotive design industry to come join a bunch of ski bums in Vermont!

CONNOR SAUNDERS

If you own J skis you’ve likely talked to Connor and know he provides customer service that’s second to none. He’s an Ice Coast park skier for life at Sugarbush, and always enjoys a solid après session... during work. @csteazy

CORINNE LEVINTHAL

When taking a break from scheduling, doing inventory, cracking beers, and running J Brewskis, Corrine likes to head out on her snowmobile or shred Stowe with J. In the summertime you will find her at every car meet and Porsche Club event, thinking about her next dream car. @corrineakabuck

"J LEV" JASON LEVINTHAL

Our fearless leader follows the only plan he’s ever known… trial, error, and bullshit until it works! A formula he’s refined for decades to succeed doing everything the opposite of everyone else. Living in VT, J dreams of someday skiing as much as his customers. @jasonlevinthal

HELEN SALVATORE

As a whitewater rafting guide and Irish dancer, Helen has no off season. She's a ninja on the retail floor and the fastest drink slinger in the East! Stop by our Intergalactic Headquarters to see for yourself! @helen3613

OTIS CROCK

The most local Vermonter of any of us, Otis grew up shredding bumps at legendary Mad River Glen! He's an expert in ice coast skis and ice cold brewskis (a great combo if ya ask me) Say waddup at our Burlington Headquarters! @_0tiss__

OLLIE

The bossman! AKA our fat, furry, fun, feline friend and mascot inspiration. After his daily 23 hour nap you can count on him to get shit done, literally... after chowing a few cans of Fancy Feast. We were blessed with his presence (15 year nap). RIP Big Man!

FRANCOIS SYLVAIN
