    Burly custom skis for skiing the conditions of the San Juan Mountains. A lot goes into them to produce a long lasting ski.

    I turned 60 and my family wanted to get me something I would really want. I average 50+ days of skiing primarily in the east. I would consider myself an excellent recreational skier and will ski any terrain and have skied the world. My garage has turned into a what looks like ski shop after demoing and purchasing skis that would end up never skiing like they did during the demo. After returning from a family Colorado ski trip last year I received an email from Wagner Custom, I filled out the DNA form and scheduled an appointment to review it with Pete Wagner. The initial call was supposed to be a ½ hour that turned into well over an hour. We stayed focused on what skis I’ve skied and what I like about them, what type of skiing I expect to do with these skis our conversation talked of stiffness, camber, rocker and how hard I push skis ect…then followed with brief discussion of options. Within a day I received a computerized ski recommendation that was based on their questionnaire and our conversation. We spoke again and tweaked a dimension and we had our design recommendation. At no time during this process did I feel any full court press to purchase just an attempt to create a ski that I would be happy skiing. I opted for the wood veneer finish, a more durable base, a titanal metal layer to reduce weight and improve ski feel and their binding recommendation. Prior to committing I did speak with two other custom ski builders but there was no question in my mind Pete knew what I needed.
    After a month or so I received regular progress reports and photos on how my skis we coming along. I received an email saying they were ready for me to send them a boot to mount the bindings I couldn’t have been more excited even though ski season was months away. Finally they arrived beautifully packaged in an Athalon molded wheeled double ski travel bag that has to go for $200. The fit and finish of the skis are perfect and the base structure was a work of art.
    My first 5 days of skiing them I know I got exactly what I wanted! They skied predictable, super smooth and stable all over the mountain. The skis held on ice, easily managed through bumps and were so fast when I let them go. I felt the skis were constantly begging for more and no matter what I put them trough they excelled. Best money spent considering how much I love skiing.

    PS After skiing my Wagner Customs I bought my 2 (adult) kids pairs since they have been skiing my rejects since high school and are both amazing skiers. Now I’ll never catch them!
