Your Story
The last run is done. The boots are kicked off. The air is buzzing with the electric feeling of a day well spent on the mountain. This is the moment, and with this sign, you declare it official: the celebration starts now.
The Après-Ski Celebration Sign is the official signal to let the good times roll. It's for the host whose home is the go-to spot for post-slope gatherings, where friends gather, stories are exaggerated, and the clinking of glasses is the official soundtrack. It's a tribute to the joyful chaos and easy camaraderie that defines the perfect après-ski.
Reasons to choose this:
- The official signal that après has begun — no further announcement required
- The host gift that actually gets hung on the wall
- Turns any bar, entryway, or patio into an alpine lodge instantly
- A permanent tribute to the best part of a ski day
- Bold enough to be a centrepiece, refined enough to stay there year-round
- The gift for the person who already has everything — except this
- Because every ski cabin deserves an official après-ski declaration
How to Order
✍️ Add a Personal Inscription (Optional)
We can carve a personal message on the back of your sign — a dedication, a family motto, or a note that only the people who matter most will ever read.
One of our recent signs read: "To the Oneill kids — May this mountain always bring us back together, for laughs, adventure, and memories that never fade. Love, Mom & Dad."
How It's Made
Every sign is CNC carved from solid wood in my solar-powered workshop in British Columbia. The design is carved into the wood itself—not printed on the surface—before each sign is sanded, painted and finished by hand.
Wood Options
| Wood Type | Swatch | Characteristics |
| Knotty Eastern Pine |  |
Best for indoor use. Rustic character with prominent knots and warm grain. Softer wood carves more easily but less precisely for fine details. |
| North American Ash |  |
Can be used outdoors. Durable hardwood with beautiful grain, weather-resistant when sealed. Very few knots. Dense wood so carves precisely. |
| North American Eastern Maple |  |
Best for indoor use. Smooth, clean appearance with very few knots. Dense wood so carves precisely. |
| Knotty Alder |  |
Best for indoor use. Warm, sandy tone with subtle grain and occasional small knots. Medium-density wood that carves cleanly with good detail. Only available in narrower 4–5" boards; larger signs require laminated (glued) panels. |
Before We Start Carving

Materials
Materials
Here are the standard wood options
All our products are made from solid wood ie. no MDF or plywood unless specified for a custom order.
Wood by its very nature (being an all natural material) has its character traits ... some species more than others. Knotty Pine of course has knots and significant colour variation is possible.
Maple is more predictable with very few knots, and bring a fairly dense wood it machines precisely. Ash is similar with the added benefit of being more resistant to rot so a good fit for outdoor use.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
We will start to make your sign AFTER any personalization has been approved via email [we send you a computer rendering within 72hrs of receiving your order]. It then takes about 5 days once you have given approval via email reply to carve, finish, pack & ship. During busy periods such as the Xmas rush this can increase to 2 weeks and larger / volume orders can also take longer.
NOTE: We are not responsible for delays caused by customs or other carrier-related delays out of our control. When your order ships you will get a calculated ESTIMATED time of arrival based on the carrier's own standards, but this is not a guaranteed arrival date.
We only ship with trackable methods such as Canada Post Expedited Parcel, UPS Ground, Purolator Ground, etc.
Contact us within 14 days of receipt with any damage or other product concerns. For returns we need to receive the product back within 30 days of you receiving it and it must be in new condition (unless of course it arrived damaged).
Dimensions
Dimensions
We actually make our products using mm but we will quote sizes in both mm & the closest inch dimensions. It's just way more precise to use mm in the workshop.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
We use exterior grade paints and all sign products have an exterior clear coat on the front and edges.
We can paint the back side also if you ask.
As long as you avoid spilling anything on the wood or wipe off immediately then there should be minimal maintenance required ... wipe down with a damp cloth.
As with any wood product try to avoid excessive temperature fluctuations as the wood can distort. Some amount of fading is to be expected with any painted wood product exposed to the sun & elements over time ... much in the same way that the siding on a house or your car will fade in the sun eventually.
