Unique Ski Graphics

[ski diva]

Before we get started, let me make one thing perfectly clear: I am not opening this -- or any other thread -- up for political discussion. That's an explosive, divisive issue, and I will not have it on this forum. Nonetheless, I just HAD to share these skis because they're so doggone topical and funny:



They're made by Renoun, a small Vermont ski maker, and you can read about them here. Renoun also made a Feel The Bern ski earlier in the primary season (hey, as I said, they're located in Vermont).



Anyone have any other unique ski graphics they'd like to share?

The top ones might be unique but they are also hideous!!!! On the plus side though,at least its the sort of graphic that would stop intermediates looking at their skis rather than where they want to go.

You've got a point there! They are hideous. The Bern one's are much better. I love the Coalition skis though.

So true!

Any idea about where in the West one could demo Renounce skis?

I've been reading about them and they sound perfect.

I think Icelantic has some of the prettiest graphics around anywhere, year after year. I mean, hello, gorgeous!

I think ON3P skis are really nice; they even offer the option to choose custom builds and topsheets.

I met a guy recently who had just bought some Parlor skis. He was an architect, and said he custom designed his top sheet with drawings of some of his favorite buildings.

I know I'm quickly becoming Moment's biggest fan, but their graphics are simply stunning.

Skevik (based in Vernon, BC) have some nice graphics:

Sadly they don't do the ski jumper top sheet now:

Wow the ones in the first post are decidedly unflattering to both parties. Haha!!

One of those Moment skis really reminds me of my La Ninas... pretty purple wolf graphics! I'm not gonna lie... top sheet factors in for me. It's not the FIRST thing I look for in a ski, but it can be a tie-breaker for sure.

Okay, when it's time for me to buy skis, someone can give me a gift certificate to Skevik. Those are all beautiful!

OMG, that light blue Scheske top sheet...I'll take the Sevrin 86mm 172cm please.

One of the prettiest top sheets I've seen, again from Skevik (admittedly biased as a fully signed-up Revelstoke devotee). I wasn't going to buy any new skis but I've wavering right now...

Anton

The flagship Skevik ski is a fitting tribute to the man behind the name, our great grandfather, Mr. Anton Skevik. Featuring a symmetrical tip/tail rocker and taper to go along with a healthy sidecut and hint of camber underfoot, the Anton’s versatility in handling a wide range of conditions is...

Those are lovely, though I could do without the elf (?) on the tail.

I think the nicest graphics I ever had were on my 2017 Santa Ana 93's.




Sadly, they changed the graphics the following year.

I now have the 2023 Santa Ana 84's. Love the skis, but IMHO, the graphics just aren't as good.

@ski diva - that's Gnorm the powder gnome! https://www.revelstokemountainresort.com/whats-happening/news/gnorm-the-powder-gnome/

Although it's usually a better day when you can't see him!

The view from the top of the Stoke for comparison:

Okay, then I take back what I said about the gnome!

Getting me excited! I'm headed to Revelstoke in March 2024.
