Pink, coral and deep violet stacked over the Mystic Mountains ridgelines, the ten minutes of sky you always stop the car for. A matched pair of hybrid Adirondack chairs built from retired skis and snowboards on a sturdy Douglas Fir base. Best used facing west.
Teal and turquoise mountains stacked back into a soft haze, painted across two matched ski rocking chairs. The palette is calmer than most of what leaves our shop, which is exactly why people pick it. Made in Colorado from retired skis on Douglas Fir bases.
Teal sky, a low sun, and a moon already up over the peaks, painted across two hybrid ski and snowboard chairs. That in between hour, held in weatherproof exterior oils on a chair built in Colorado from retired boards.
A wide Texas sunset, all burnt orange and low horizon, hand painted across two Adirondack ski chairs. Built in Colorado from retired skis on a Douglas Fir base, which makes them a fine souvenir of the drive up and a good excuse to sit outside back home.
Big soft snowflakes falling through a deep, still night, hand painted across two chair backs so the mural reads as one scene. These are Adirondack ski chairs, built in Colorado from retired skis on a Douglas Fir base and finished in weatherproof exterior oils. The mountains are calling, and now you have somewhere to sit while you think it over.
Two chairs on a porch is a completely different piece of furniture than one chair on a porch. One chair is a spot to read. Two chairs is an invitation, and an unspoken agreement that somebody is coming out to sit down next to you at some point this evening. A pair also gives a mural somewhere to go, because a mountain range painted across two ski backs has twice the horizon to work with.
These are Adirondack chairs built in Manitou Springs, Colorado, from real retired skis and snowboards. When you order a set of 2, the two chairs are built and painted together as one job. The paint comes out of the same mixed batch and the design is laid out for the pair, so the left chair and the right chair are halves of one picture rather than two copies of the same picture.
Pairs are the most common thing we ship, and it is not close. Couples buying for a deck. Somebody buying a second chair because the first one turned out to be a problem. Anniversary gifts. Cabins and rentals where two chairs is exactly the right number for the porch that exists.
Layered blue ridges under a cream sunrise, drawn across the pair as one scene. Put them side by side and the range keeps going.
Blue fading to white with a pine forest running up the ski backs. Exterior oil paint, sitting out in the brush where it belongs.
Same matched pair idea, converted to rockers on repurposed oak wine barrel slats. Teal and cream, because not everything has to be blue and gold.
A single ski chair back is a narrow canvas. Two of them side by side is a wide one, and that changes what the painter can do. A ridgeline can actually rise and fall. A sunset gradient can go from orange on the left chair to deep blue on the right. Aspen trunks can be spaced like real aspens instead of crammed. Most of the murals in this category were designed as two panel scenes from the start, which is why they look slightly odd in a single product photo and completely right on a porch.
It also means the two chairs are not interchangeable. There is a left and a right. We label them, and if you set them up backwards you will notice within about four seconds and fix it.
The pair is the anniversary purchase, the wedding gift, the retirement present. It is also the one people buy for themselves after twenty five years of skiing together, usually with a specific view in mind that the chairs are going to face. If the skis have history, we can build from your own gear. A set of two takes eight to ten pairs of skis, four to five pairs per chair, so go count what is stacked behind the snowblower before you call.
Each chair is 45 inches tall by 36 inches deep by 32 inches wide, some builds 55 inches tall. Two of them side by side with a little air between want roughly six feet of wall. That fits a standard porch, a condo balcony, a landing at a cabin, or the strip of patio next to the grill. Four chairs generally do not, which is the real reason most people land here.
Murals are painted by hand in exterior oils. Never a decal. Across a pair that matters more than it does on a single chair, because a hand painted scene can be adjusted as it crosses the gap between the two backs, and a printed one cannot.
A logo is handled differently. A logo is never painted. It goes on as a logo decal floated onto a painted background so the mark keeps its exact shape and color. Aluminum appliques and plastic appliques are the other options, priced differently, and the logo can sit on the front or the back. Branded work is quoted on a call, not listed on the site.
Color wise, browse this category and you will see the range. Full Colorado flag blue and gold. Marbled grey for houses that do not want to shout. Teal and cream. Night sky with stars over painted peaks. Bear claws. If you want a palette that is not here, say so, and if there are colors you specifically do not want anywhere near your deck, that is just as useful to tell us.
Made to order is two to four weeks, and a pair with a continuous mural sits toward the middle of that. Some pairs are already built and ready to ship, which is the move if you have a date to hit. Most chairs ship free to the lower 48. Local delivery runs across Colorado including Colorado Springs, Denver, Breckenridge, Vail and Aspen, and we ship nationwide to the lower 48.
Both are available and it is your call. The two panel version, where one scene crosses the pair, is what most people picture and it is what we default to. If the chairs are going to sit in different spots rather than side by side, ask for each chair to carry a complete design in the same palette, so neither one looks like it is missing a half.
Yes. His and hers builds are common, using different skis or different accent colors while keeping the same background. Same with pairs built from customer gear where the two people skied on very different equipment. The paint batch stays shared so they still look related.
Eight to ten pairs total, four to five per chair. If you are sending your own gear, count first. If you come up short we can blend in skis from our stock, and if you have extra, a leftover pair or two can become a side table or wall art.
Yes. Rocker conversion is $75 more per chair, cut from repurposed oak wine barrel slats. Plenty of the pairs in this category are rockers already. You can also split it, one rocker and one standard, if only one of you rocks.
A matching side table is the usual answer, built from the same skis or from a barrel top. Ottomans are the other popular add on. Ask for it in the same order and it gets the same paint batch, which is a lot easier than trying to match it later.
For a two person cabin or a condo balcony, usually yes, and it photographs well in a listing. For a place that sleeps six, two chairs will start an argument. Look at the larger matched groups instead, or call us and describe the space.
