Shaggy’s: Custom Ski Builder

In recent years, a whole crop of smaller ski builders like Shaggy’s Copper Country Skis have emerged, and these shops now make some of the country’s finest downhill boards. As a ski maker, you have to be part tailor, part carpenter, and part physicist, creating products that excel on the snow and that play to your customer's height, weight, skill, and style. Shaggy’s, located in Boyne, Michigan, won’t be getting rich making small-batch skis, but they have made lifelong fans by building top-quality products.
