It's a huge honor to be collaborating on a ski graphic with J Mascis, lead singer, song writer and guitarist of the legendary band Dinosaur Jr! In the early 90’s we’d listen Dinosaur Jr while skating because it would get us stoked after hearing their songs in skate videos. They’re credited as being some of the early pioneers of indie and alternative rock, though we just knew them as badass.
The artwork on this ski comes from Dinosaur Jr's “Where You Been” and “Without a Sound” album covers. Fun Fact: Neil Blender, pro skater at the time, actually created the artwork used on the cover of “Without a Sound." Local Western Mass artist and musician, Angry Johnny, did the "Where You Been?" artwork.
Our designer made a play on the old “Listen To [insert big name band]” as a joke since Dinosaur Jr has always represented the opposite attitude. When you see someone flying through the air with these bases, you know the soundtrack playing in their head...
The best part of this collaboration is that J Mascis has been a die-hard skier his whole life! He lives in Amherst, MA and skis in Southern VT. Take a close look if you see these skis on the slopes because it might just be J riding them!
I’m only building 100 pair of these Limited Edition skis, each individually hand-signed and numbered. This legendary collab will be in high demand and sell out fast, so if you’re a fan of J & J make sure you grab a pair before they’re gone!

Quick, nimble, powerful high speed carving, with versatile float in pow
“The Masterblaster” is quick and precise like you’d expect from a 96mm waisted all-mountain ski, yet has a unique split personality that’s also incredibly fun and playful when you take it into fresh snow. I designed the tip with a subtle amount of rocker to help you float with ease in the pow and tight trees, yet maintain 100% edge engagement on firm snow. When you roll it over, the entire edge length is in contact with the snow, including the tip rocker to maximize grip - you get a predictable, solid, smooth and stable feel, instilling incredible confidence at high speeds. Its “Light Metal” Titanal laminate & maple wood core construction provides race-like power and precision, even on ice. From the steeps to the trees, bumps, and untracked corduroy, you’ll appreciate this ski’s one-of-a-kind versatility, laying down high-speed, hip dragging carves on the way to the lift like you’re racing toward an Olympic gold medal.
