THE ARTWORK

Fank x J Collab

Sometimes less is more. For the longest time, Fank has had an image sitting in his inspirations folder, just a simple flag that said "Today Is A Good Day". Every time we’d brainstorm new ski graphics it would come up and we’d think, "Man, that would be such a perfect ski base." So we finally made it happen! Picture this: you're floating through the deepest powder of the season, grinning ear to ear, and thinking to yourself, "Today IS a good day." That's it—nothing else really matters. If you're on these skis, you're gonna have the best pow day of your life.

For the top design, we tapped into our love for the soulful skateboards and surfboards designs you see. To emphasize the minimalist vibe we combined really simple, clean color blocks across the top, letting the beautiful wood grain shine. I just love how this whole ski turned out!

 

We only made 200 pairs of this Limited Edition graphic on The Best Friend ski, each hand-signed and numbered by me. Don’t have a bad day… these are selling faster than the tram fills up on a pow day, so grab 'em before they're gone forever!

The Best Friend

140 – 118 – 129

We’ve engineered a revolutionary new asymmetric ski shape that makes powder skiing easier for everyone! The problem with the traditional shape of powder skis is it causes your downhill ski to sink and your uphill ski to rise in deep snow. This separates your legs, making it hard to stay in control and tiring you out waaay faster than necessary. To solve this problem, we added surface area in specific places and removed it from others. The result is a pair of skis that float naturally on the same plane, helping your legs stay closer together without extra effort. It feels more like riding a single surfboard than two individual skis. This means you can ski deep snow with more confidence while using less energy, letting the skis use the natural mechanics of powder snow to do the hard work for you! No more sitting back to keep your tips up, no more backseat landings, face plants, tomahawks, or yard sales. You can ski in your natural stance, floating and turning with ease, without straining to stay in control—even on the deepest days. The unique, asymmetric shape is only on the tip and tail of the ski and will have no effect on the ski’s firm snow performance. You get the benefits of a ski with traditional sidecut and camber when charging hard on firm and chopped up conditions. Meet your NEW Best Friend! Surf’s up!

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.
