THE ARTWORK

Ryan Schmies x J Collab

This is our fourth ski collaboration together and even after working with Ryan for years, his ideas and illustrations always blow me away! Unlike other artists, Ryan is from another dimension and occasionally travels back in time to our parallel universe to share sick and twisted views of his world. These illustrations give us a look at what lurks just below the surface.

As the legend goes in these parts, on certain days of the year, with Crystal Mountain lurking in the background, boats often mysteriously disappear. On this particular day the fishing boat “Mister Meowgi,” named after Ryan's cat, was peacefully pulling up the day’s catch, completely unaware of the dangerous world just below the surface. These sea creatures, previously thought to be extinct, can strike at any moment, sinking boats and eating the sailors on board. If you look closely at the tail of the ski you can just barely make out the names of the sunken boats… Bizzy, Scooter, MissMiss, coincidentally named after Ryan’s deceased cats.

This is the kind of ski graphic that skiers will move aside to make room for you in the lift line wishing they had graphics as dope as yours. Ryan’s last collab graphic sold out before the season even started. We're only building 450 pair of this new Limited Edition graphic and I'm hand-signing and numbering each pair so grab a pair of the “Deep” before they get eaten alive!

I'm super stoked to be collaborating with Ryan Schmies on another sick & twisted (soon to be legendary) ski graphic! Ryan is from another dimension and occasionally travels back in time to our parallel universe to share images from a world we would never otherwise see. These sketches of the actual animals from Ryan's home dimension truly defy all physics of the space-time continuum in a way that even NASA has yet to understand.

This is why it's so fun to collaborate with Ryan, you never know what's going to come out of his pen. Even after working with him for years he always blows me away! This time I asked him to create another one of his mind-numbing drawings of the animals from his home town zoo. 

This is the kind of ski graphic that skiers will move aside to make room for you in the lift line wishing they had graphics as dope as yours, and don't even get me started on how these will enhance your après!

Last year Ryan's collab graphic sold out before the season even started, so grab a pair of these Nocturnal Daydreams before they're gone! We're only building 450 pair of this new Limited Edition graphic and I'm hand-signing and numbering each pair so you own unique ski like no one else.

The Escalator

132 – 102 – 123

This lighter weight, yet uniquely solid ski is built to do what you wanna do, whether that's sunrises on the skin track or spending all of your time riding lifts. The secret ingredient is a combination of a light Aspen core paired with our classic downhill ski construction for a Goldilocks feel that seamlessly blends stability with weight savings. Its 102mm waist slides perfectly into every skier’s quiver as a do-it-all tool that can lay down quick, snappy carves in bounds as effortlessly as it surfs wide open pow fields. We gave it a twin-tip shape for skiing backward and increased maneuverability in tight situations like chutes or trees. A subtle tail notch provides reliable skin clip retention for fast transitions. Add our pre-cut skins that perfectly fit the skis, and you're ready to go touring right out of the box! "The Escalator" will keep your legs fresher longer, so you can shred stronger from sunrise to last chair.

Full Height Sidewalls

Maximum impact resistant & vibration dampening
We’re using super durable, high impact absorbing Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) polyethylene for our sidewalls. This is the same material we use on our ski's bases. It’s very impact resistant and since it’s full height, it also absorbs more vibration like using a longer spring in your car’s suspension. Take a metal pipe and hit it against a rock, then do the same with a piece of plastic. The metal vibrates through to your bones & the plastic absorbs the vibration for you. That’s the difference of having full height plastic shock absorbing sidewalls over your edges or not. We’re cutting the sides of the sidewalls to a 10* angle, with a nice step at the bottom for easy tuning like race skis.
