Saw this guy mobbing around Stowe today on an all wood snowboard. Caught up to him to ask him who made it he said some small company in Vermont. So the question is does any ski company make an all wood ski?

I've run some graphics through Coda and even had some luck with epicboardskins.com in the past to create custom top sheets and adhesives. If you're interested in just the graphics you can keep your existing setup and just do an adhesive overlay.

If you want me to generate the design for you let me know. I'll do it for free and you don't hear that sh*t very often.

I think Ramp skis here in PC are all wood (bamboo). Heard they're pretty awful.

ski logic has cool wood designs.

But I don't think that's what you're talking about. An all wood ski? I'm sure you can find a pair on the wall of a museum somewhere.

If anyone follows newschoolers on Instagram they posted a video of Andy Parry attempting a backflip on a really small jump. It looked like he had wooden skis on, maybe I saw it wrong or maybe he is able to get some sort of special thing from line where they can just make a pair of chronics or something with no graphics?

I guess there's like a cult of old dudes around the world who are really into using wooden skis.

Here's the link to their website:

Yes but.........no.
They still have bases and edges, I think this guy was talking about JUST wood.

line afterbangs are made out of wood and its cool because when you look at the side of the ski it looks like a skateboard and you can see the stacked wood layer construction. but the topsheet its self isn't wood unless you but the 2013 model or earlier.

The PowderJet snowboards have the options on edges or no edges (mine has edges). I the OP saw it at a resort it was probably the with-edge model.

Taking the OP's question a step further... PowderJet snowboards offers classes where you build your own board. I did this a few months ago. Does anyone know of a similar deal for skis? I'd love to build a custom pair myself.
