Petition to have Eric pollard make tree artwork on his new Season skis
I think the concept of season was to make skis with a timeless design so people would use the skis until they are completely broken. instead of buying new skis for the new graphics. could be trippin but something like that, great for the environment

Thats awesome, potentially might buy the kins next season
No way in hell he's gonna do that unless it's some kind of very small accent to replace the white line at the back of the topsheet. Having all black skis every year is one of the core elements of Season.
It's also probably a way to save money and subsequently offer comprehensive ski and snowboard lines in multiple sizes per model.
Maybe there will be limited editions or something every so often.
It'd be cool if they just did whatever art they want, just not change the skis. So there's no silliness with changing the dims by a millimeter each season and calling it a new ski, but there's a few topsheet options just cause all of his are generally nice. Not necessarily on a yearly schedule, but more like a whenever they feel like it schedule.

People that do that wouldnt even buy seasons to begin with...
“eric is a founder of the brand and in full control of our aesthetics and vision. his art is available here. it looks nicer for longer on a wall than on a ski. season's aesthetic is based on shape and timelessness, not an annual consumer cycle.”
Skip to 18:01 to hear Eric's reasoning behind the black topsheets.
thanks for that, I respect his decision I just loved the 2012-2016 graphics so much for the SFB and the Opus that I can't really wrap my head around a blank canvas like that from him. However, I totally think that an all-black ski is super cool and you can probably add your own graphics somehow anyways.

Spot on. In one of the interviews about his new gig he said something along those lines. Trying to take away the pressure on the consumer to buy the new graphics of a ski each year. The best way I've found to avoid that pressure is to be perpetually broke
