The Friend "CASCADE" Ryan Schmies Limited Edition Ski

I've waited over 15 years to work with Ryan Schmies on a ski graphic!

Over a decade ago, Ryan created K2's legendary "Public Enemy" ski graphic. At the time, he pioneered a new, revolutionary style of covering the entire ski with artwork. The rest of the ski industry quickly followed his lead, however I unfortunately was never able to work with him, as obviously he was with another ski company. Now that he and I are independent, it only took one phone call!

Ryan grew up skiing a small hill called Cascade in Wisconsin and today he lives in Washington state skiing the Cascade Range, so the name for this graphic came easy. He used good ol' fashioned pencil and ink from his prized assortment of cheap pens while watching replays of 'Ride the Lightning' and 'Back Street Boys' videos to create this masterpiece.
