Mail us the clubs and we will build them into an Adirondack rocker with a putting green cup holder in the arm. One chair takes a full set, eleven or twelve clubs. If you do not have clubs to send, we have plenty of our own waiting for a second career.
Send us the sticks and we build the chair. A hockey stick chair takes twelve to fifteen sticks, which surprises nearly everyone, so if you are short we fill in from our own stock and put yours where you look. Redwood and Douglas fir frame, 45 inches tall by 36 deep and 32 wide, hand painted in oils. Names and numbers on the arms are standard.
Those skis hanging in the garage rafters gave you a couple of decades, and they deserve better than a landfill.

Baja blanket stripes running under a mountain sunset, hand painted across two matching seat backs. These are hybrid Adirondack chairs, built in Colorado from retired skis and snowboards on sturdy Douglas Fir bases. If you owned a Baja hoodie in 1987, you already understand this chair.

A silver sugar skull, painted with the kind of fine line work the style demands, filling the back of an Adirondack ski chair. Built in Colorado from four to five pairs of retired skis on a Douglas Fir base, and finished for indoor or outdoor use. Day of the Dead artwork on something you can actually sit in.
The Special Forces crest goes on as a decal floated over a hand painted solid color back, so the insignia stays exactly as sharp as it should be. Adopted in 1960 and made the Special Forces regimental designator in 1984, and it has no business being rendered freehand. Background color and crest are both yours to choose.
A little alpine chalet for birds, built out of real retired skis with the ski shapes still obvious in the roof and walls. You tell us the color when you order and we finish it that way. The birds have not filed a single complaint.
Volant made skis with stainless steel tops, and nothing else in the world looks like a stack of them. This throne layers those steel skis into a chair that nods hard at the Iron Throne. One of a kind, and yes, we still have the skis to build more.
A lone skier carving a line through the kind of snow you find yourself thinking about in July, painted across both chairs. This is a matched set of two Adirondack ski chairs, which takes eight to ten pairs of retired skis to build. Hand painted in Colorado and sized for grown adults, not decorative doll furniture.
Most orders in this category start with the same phone call. I saw a chair on your site, but what I really want is, and then comes something we have never built before. A mural of the run where two people got engaged. A hockey stick bench for a basement bar. Four chairs stained to match a deck in Breckenridge. That call is the front door to this whole category, and nearly everything in the grid above began exactly that way.
Custom Designs is the made to order side of Colorado Ski Chairs. Every piece is built in Manitou Springs, Colorado from real retired skis, snowboards and other gear that already had a first life on the hill. Nothing here gets stamped out of a mold, so treat this page as a set of starting points rather than a catalog.
Find the closest thing to what you want in the grid, then tell us how yours should be different. Colors, scene, size, wood stain, one chair or a matched set of four. If the idea does not appear anywhere on this site, that is a normal Tuesday around here.
Send us the skis that have been living behind the lawn mower since 2009. They come back as something you sit in with a beer.
Peaks, sunsets, national parks, dogs, camper vans. Painted by hand in exterior oils, never a decal.
Your brand color painted on, your logo floated on top as a decal so the mark stays exact. Quoted on a call.
Photos, a screenshot, a rough sketch on the back of a trail map, or just a description over the phone. People send a picture of the view from a cabin deck and ask for that. Others send a logo file and a brand color. Both are plenty to start with. You get a person who builds these things, not a form that emails you back on Thursday.
Size, how much painting the scene needs, how the mark goes on and how many pieces you want all move the number, which is why custom and branded work is quoted on a call instead of listed. You know the price and the timeline before we touch a saw.
Skis get cut, shaped and mounted on a Douglas Fir base, the painting happens in exterior oils, and the piece cures before it goes anywhere. Most customers get progress photos along the way, partly because we like showing them off and partly because it is the easiest way to catch a change while a change is still cheap.
The most common surprise on a first custom call is the quantity. A finished chair looks like it should be one pair of skis. It is not.
If you are sending your own gear and you do not have enough of it, that is fine, and it is the usual case. Send the pairs that actually mean something, we fill in the rest from our stock of vintage and retro skis, and yours go in the spots you will look at. If the skis are long gone entirely, tell us the brand and the era and we will get close.
Worth knowing before you call, because it comes up on every branded job. A hand painted mural is painted by hand in exterior oils, never a decal. Peaks, sunsets, aspens, a national park skyline, a dog, a van on a dirt road, all of that goes on with brushes.
A logo is a different animal. A logo is never painted. It goes on as a logo decal floated onto the painted background so the mark holds its exact shape and its exact color, which is what a marketing director actually wants to see in a lobby photo. Aluminum appliques and plastic appliques are alternatives, each priced differently, and the logo can sit on the front or the back. Branded pricing is quoted on a call.
However far a design wanders, the bones stay the same.
Made to order work runs two to four weeks, depending on how much painting is involved and how busy the shop is. Heavily detailed murals and large sets sit at the long end of that. If your date is tight, say so on the first call, and take a look at our ready to ship pieces, which are finished and waiting.
We deliver locally across Colorado, including Colorado Springs, Denver, Breckenridge, Vail and Aspen, and we ship nationwide to the lower 48. Most chairs ship free to the lower 48. Oversized and multi piece orders get quoted separately, because a set of four does not travel the way one chair does.
Yes. Most custom orders arrive as one photo and a paragraph. Describe the scene, the colors and where the piece is going to live, and our painters take it from there. Nobody has ever been turned away for a bad sketch.
Yes, on anything with artwork involved. We confirm the layout, the colors and the placement up front, and you get photos as the piece comes together. Changes are easy early and painful late, so we front load that conversation on purpose.
Yes, and it is one of the most requested jobs in this category. Send a photo taken from the angle you remember rather than a postcard shot, because the version in your head is usually one particular view from one particular chairlift.
Yes. Benches, tables, wall murals and panels, porch swings, cornhole sets, birdhouses, guitar stands, office wall art and handcrafted ski lift bench replicas have all come out of this shop. Tell us what the room needs and we will tell you honestly whether we can build it well.
Yes, and it is a big part of what happens here. Call before you ship anything so we can talk through quantities and confirm that what you have will work. Mismatched pairs are welcome and usually look more interesting anyway.
Yes. Breweries, ski shops, resorts, real estate offices and corporate lobbies order branded chairs, benches and wall panels, sometimes one for an entryway and sometimes a dozen for an office. Logo work goes on as a decal or an applique, and pricing is quoted on a call rather than listed.
