What is the most influential ski design (Clothing and Ski Graphics)?

For me it's the atomic punx early 2000s era, OG AR7s, and Jiberish Brothers of the blade merch... but that is all subjective. That was the era I grew up skiing in and it definitely dictated how I dressed. I feel like depending on who ask, someone could say Arsenic, even though it is new, it has potential to be iconic / influential. I'm curious about your predictions and what you think has had the most cultural significance.

Feel free to drop images when you can.

The introduction of the twin tip ski was pretty influential.

Growing up Columbia outerwear was influential regarding the colorways and zip in/zip out liners and shells.

IMO the most iconic ski of my time is the 2013/14 Al Dente





in softgoods, I love seeing smaller brands like Arsenic, Capeesh, Harlaut apparel, etc. influencing the culture rn

Oakley Outerwear. Salomon 1080 (for obvious). OG Saga. 2000'S K2 set the tone for ski shapes, graphics. Faction pushed the ridiculous light narrative.

Line afterbang and the k2 twin tips from around 2012 will always hold a special place in my heart. Was never able to afford them then but always wanted a pair.

For me, seeing Harlaut be the first mainstream large pant company. Since then. I feel like a lot of other companies have followed suit and it’s inspired kids to make their own shit as well

Gotta shoutout Ryan Schmies with the ski graphic design. He really took us out of the era of corporate bland everything and made some really cool dark imagery on the stuff he did with the hellbent and then other companies followed suit with the art on the skis.

WEEN!!! I'm still skiing my ARV 96's with the Ween graphics.

The skis are on their way out. Think I'll hang em on the wall once they're done skiing. Gotta show my respects to Ween. RIP.

As much as I hate it, TWP is the most influential ski of all time probably, at least in the park scene. I see 15 pairs a day, which is way more than any other ski lol

Volant spatula, maiden AK, armada ar5, and obviously the 1080. The blue one.

Those four skis single handedly shaped more of what we are on today, than anything else.

Moment Reno Rocker, Armada Alpha, ON3P Blue Steele, K2 revival brought rocker to park skis around the same time. Probably more important imo
