There are some people in this world who inexplicably sparkle, like they toddled through a cloud of magic dust in some fairy forest along the way, and everything they touch sparkles, too. Artist Shannon Foley Henn, who designed our latest topsheet graphics, is one such person. We caught up with her to see what she had to say.

Kylee Firlit is a rarity, as she’s both an artist and a graphic designer—and she’s insanely talented at both. She’s also a passionate skier, climber, mountain biker, and runner, which is why her resume is packed with brands like Black Diamond, Mountain Hardwear, Kühl, and now, we’re honored to say, Wagner Custom.

Cecelia Leddy, who goes by the artist name Teeny Botanist, has a bio on her website that describes her work as focusing on “connections between people, places, and nature.” We caught up with Leddy recently to ask her about the fun animal graphics she created for our Artist Series skis. Here’s what she had to say.​

You’ve never seen skis like these before. Artist Cie Hoover, who lives in Ouray, Colo., has transformed our wood veneer topsheets into custom pieces of art that will turn heads in every lift line. We sit down with Cie to learn more about him.

We've been hard at work over the summer working out new House graphics for your consideration. From an update and expansion of a perennial favorite (Local Redux), to subtle color tones or high contrast, we have got you covered in 2025! Take a look at the our 2025 collection.

August? New wood veneers already? We're moving up our release dates for all of our graphics this year, and we're starting with a couple of wood veneers for your consideration.

Artist Danny Starr’s work ranges from pastoral landscapes soaked in sunlight to... dragons, skulls, and people with melting faces that delve into the murky waters of existentialism. We caught up with him recently to find out more about his art and what makes him tick. Read what he has to say.

Kellie Swanson doesn’t remember a life without skiing. Everything, whether she realized it or not at the time, has revolved around it. And now, living in Bozeman, Mont., where she skis Bridger Bowl (a lot), she’s found a way to fund her passion with another—art.

For New York-based artist Danny Steinman, many seemingly incongruous paths—teaching science, playing music, doodling in notebooks—somehow led him to being one of the most prominent rock artists in the music scene. Find out how he got his big break.

At first glance, Mikael Kennedy’s professional trajectory seems so impossible it’s hard not to reel at how he’s turned the most improbable ideas into incredible successes. Learn how this Polaroid-wielding vagabond ended up in LA as a rug dealer.

With the rugged skylines of Telluride’s peaks that both attract and inspire artists, it’s no surprise that we don’t have to look far to find talented people to collaborate with on our topsheets. Nicole Finger is one such talent.

If you remember the K2 Hellbent graphics that rocked the ski industry’s world, you’ll want to meet Sherwood Smith. His new series, “Compass Rising,” is a gorgeous interpretation of the world’s mountainous zones and the ancient cultures that arose there.

We first set eyes on Norwegian artist Andreas Lie’s work when we saw the poster for the Patagonia documentary, “Jumbo Wild.” Last year, we finally partnered with Lie for our topsheets. Rediscover his work now.
