Those of you who have never bought vishnus probably don’t know the effort that Emmett goes to to make the customer really feel like they’re forming a relationship with a company. He hand writes a little thank you note for every single pair of skis sold and also has included a little backstory of the ski graphic. Not to mention all the other bonus stuff that came with the pre-orders. This is the graphic card for the river wets:


I really made this thread because I’m interested to see what these cards say for the other graphics. So if you bought vishnus this year please post a photo of your little graphic story card. I wanna see ‘em.

But I thought while I’m here making this thread I’ll also make it a praise for Emmett. Fucking props dude. Absolutely killing it with this customer relations shit. And it’s awesome that it’s getting better as the company gets bigger. I bought a pair of wets back in 2017 and they didn’t come with as much “personalised” stuff as this years drop did. Just another thing that sets vishnu apart from other ski companies.

But anyway, let us see those graphic backstory cards

I'm not home ATM but the cals sheet talks about how him and Emmet wanted to make a ski with Legos on it, (the one on there instagram. It was pretty much the same as the broken glass but instead of shards it was Legos,) but they ran into copyright issues. Emmet used to do glass work and he went outside and filled a bin with shards of broken glass and took a picture. Sent it to a editor friend who made some color changes and such.


100% screwed that up but you get it

That’s very interesting. I went to a Van Gogh live show where they had his paintings all moving around and stuff. And it also had a bunch of quotes and information about him just telling the story of his life kinda thing. He was a very morbid dude. Those final words sum it all up really

I have the cactus. on the two planner podcast emmet explained the orange top sheets (my favorite) and how he has a story and meaning behind everyone topsheet, I’d love to hear the story behind all of them…. Having a story and meaning behind all of the graphics makes skiing the skis so much more enjoyable

Emmet doesn’t simply make them “feel” like they’re forming a relationship. He does form a relationship.

Wow this is so cool. Every time I learn something new about Vishnu I like them more and more. Thanks emmet for putting so much work into a community. We appreciate you, even those that haven’t bought your skis… yet! And thanks to everyone for sharing the stories that came with their skis.

Was recently in paris, saw the actual painting. Along with most of the Van gogh collection. Pretty insane that he was only 37.

The collection is in paris right now at a museum called Muse' d'orsay. Aswell as many other great impressionist painters, like Monet. Don't @ me

We care. I went golfing with my vishnu golf tees last weekend. They’re quite nice tees. And I’m very excited to exterminate some insects with my new vishnu fly swatter. Vishnu is for the people

One of my tees is planted in a fish tank rn. Looks pretty rad. I’ve always wanted to to a topsheet with this antique quilt I found.



The colors n everything would just go so sick I think. I love quilts

I went to one of those shows in vancouver with my parents. Thought it had a really cool atmosphere, especially with the music.

I don't know if I would get along with riding wets/wides but man I wish the more brands did shit like this, and have definitely considered buying a pair just to support the style.

Keep it up, homie.

After the keys came out, I would say vishnu has a style of ski for pretty much everyone.

Didn’t he say it reminded him of his Aunts in Arizona? Would love to know if that’s the inspiration behind cactus top sheets too.

I have fire flowers and would love to hear the story behind those

If definitely is honest relationship. Also. It's better to keep a customer then find a new one. He's got a good plan going for him and his team and definitely skiers that ride the gear really enjoy it.

Everyone who skis a lot of park / street.

If the Key dropped with like a 106-108 width, and worked well dropping into chutes I'd cop a pair to fill out the quiver. lol

Fair. I’d say I spend a little less than half my day in the park and essentially no street where I live and wides are the only ski I grab now. I think you’d have a lot of fun with wide plus in more techy steep terrain.

Yessir the orange top sheets are from that… i assume the cactuses are of a similar nature in which it’s from Arizona and is from his aunts house.
