Hi! My name is Jose and I am building skis in Chile. I have never been to a ski factory, worckshop or seen other people manufacturing in person.
I am planning to go in february or March and I would really aprecciate somebody to take me on tour to his place... I can bring you some nice Chilean Pisco :) and Wine and take you to ski if you come to Chile :).

skevik is in vernon, I would try and get to whistler a little over 6 hours from vernon go to Prior there factory is open weekdays and they do full tours. they are more of a board assembler cores,edges,base,top done off site but worth going to. from there you can cross the boarder and go to mervin MFG in washington thats probably the place to go seems half the people on this site are from washington.

I'm a hobby ski builder.
My buddy JV is trying to make a go as a business. www.didcustom.com

If you get over this way send me a pm or a message thru my website, www.treefrogskis.com

I can show you around if I'm not working, let me know.
