There have been threads on coolest, sickest and best graphics. But what about beautiful skis? They are out there and this pair of ski logik I saw a few years ago were beautiful. This picture doesn't do them justice sadly.

Any ski that Eric Pollard designs is gorgeous, IMO. He is a pretty talented artist.

I really like the wooden topsheets, but aside from those, the ON3P pillow fight.

Love skis that have a clear coat so you can see at least of the core. Beauty.

Been mentioned but basically every Eric Pollard and Bentchetler ski looks great. Also I've never seen a wood veneer ski I didn't think looked beautiful.

agree on the Pollard & Bentchet notes above, as well as the fact that it's pretty hard to make a wood veneer ski that looks bad.

In person, the Fauna Pioneer is one of the best looking skis I've seen

He's been posting stories behind the art on his IG which is rad. Also, if you like his shit enough to want a print, he sells them on his personal site.

I just discovered pusu skis recently. Those skis are sick and my gf is from where they’re made so I was extra stoked.

I really like the aesthetics of Mr Tree skis out of Italy.

Super generic but I love the sunset oranges in the Jeffery and Magnus this year. The wood skis are also so sick

We really appreciate that coming from you, given the number of skis you ride to review.



The topsheet pictures you took for you review show the richness of the padauk better.
