Design a true Original Ski Bum with your own skis or snowboards!
If you’d like to breathe new life into your old gear or create a custom family heirloom, this highly personalized option is for you. We will use three pairs of your favorite skis per chair (see below for requirements), with your choice of our Simple Ski Bum cedar frame or our Original Ski Bum cedar frame.
Our Snowboard chair is a hybrid of the two frames with a straight back (due to the nature of the Snowboard), and curved arms. If you prefer the straight arms, please contact us and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
The Simple Ski Bum features a solid cedar frame with a straight back rest, straight 4” wide arms and accented with black carriage bolts to give it some flair. $425
Dimensions: 28” (w) x 36” (d) x 46” (h)
Seat is at a comfortable depth of 17”
The Original Ski Bum is our premium frame with a curved backrest and elegantly shaped arms reaching 6” wide at their front. The curve of the backrest is adjusted by hand to match the width of the skis. $525
Dimensions: 30” (w) x 36” (d) x 46” (h)
Seat is at a comfortable depth of 18”.
Additional Protection (Optional): $25.00
Enhance your purchase with The Real Paint Company’s Outdoor Defense, a wood oil that acts like lotion on your skin. It will bring out the beautiful rich shades of the Cedar, and provide an added layer of protection from the elements. It is recommended to repeat this application on a regular basis to continue to protect your investment.
For every build, skis and boards are given a thorough cleaning and refresh to revitalize the top sheet without losing their vintage character.
The Best part? You get to choose the Michigan Ski Patrol that will fully benefit from your purchase.
Ski/Snowboard requirements: Three pairs of skis/three boards must be in good project condition - no delamitation, or separation of layers, and at least 165cm/65” in length). MI Ski Bum reserves the right to decline gear based on usability.
Please allow 2 weeks for production.
The best way to start? A conversation. Drop us a note, and let’s build you a chair!
The Fine Print:
Skis/Snowboards are made from a variety of materials, combined with age and unknown exposure, may react differently when cut or drilled for production. We will strive to take every precaution to produce the best quality product, but by purchasing this chair you acknowledge that a problem outside of our control could arise that may damage your skis/snowboards. In that rare occasion, we would notify you and work with you to find a suitable substitution from our inventory.
Cedar wood is naturally water and rot resistant, but will weather, gray, and age as the chair ages outdoors. Regular maintenance may be required.
Each chair is handmade and therefore unique in every way. Variations will occur even within similar styles.
Skis/Snowboards will need to be dropped off or shipped to MI Ski Bum, located in Rockford MI.
