Beyond the Maker. As our Maker Series continues, KÜHL® had the chance to meet and talk with Michael Parris, owner, heart and brains of Igneous Custom Skis and Snowboards (@igneous_factory). Michael’s one-of-a-kind designs are an extension of his customer’s personalities. He fuses hardwoods, composites and sintered graphite bases with more than 25 years of experience to build rugged skis and boards that look just as good on your wall, as they do charging down the mountain. “The idea that I’ve made this thing, specific for that person … I can’t really describe it. I guess an enormous sense of pride in something that I’ve created that I know is going to ideally bring them joy. Making them with your hands is what makes them special.” Head over to our blog to read his unique story through link in bio. // Photos by: @makcrist // Written by: Sam Brown (@gnarggles)
