DESIGNED BY A LIFE-LONG SKI PRO

Every trail I carve, I've skied one just like it. After 47 years in the mountains — from racing as a kid to guiding at Whistler and teaching at Panorama — I know what belongs on a skier's wall.

Not mass-produced. Not from a trend-chaser. Handcrafted in BC by someone who's lived the mountain life. I literally live and work on the side of a mountain in the Monashees of BC.

Let's be honest. The first chair is great, but the first beer at the lodge is legendary. This sign is a hilarious badge of honor for the crew that has their priorities perfectly aligned. It's for the friends who know that skiing is the activity, but the good times are the real sport.

We all know that team. The one that's just as skilled at navigating a happy hour menu as they are at navigating a black diamond run. This sign is their official motto.

It's the perfect inside joke to hang in the ski cabin, home bar, or garage, instantly signalling that this is a space for fun. It's a guaranteed conversation starter and the ideal gift for the friend who leads the charge from the slopes to the lodge.

Craftsmanship & Details:

  • Solid, Rustic Wood: Carved from a single piece of solid wood with natural grain and character for an authentic, durable finish that's built to last
  • Deep, Precision Carving: The joke isn't just printed on; it's carved deep into the wood, so it will never fade
  • Dimensions: 11.5" × 32.75" (292mm × 832mm)
  • Mounting: Includes appropriate hardware for easy installation
  • Made-to-Order: Handcrafted just for you in our BC workshop—please allow 1-2 weeks for production

Proudly Canadian-Made

Handcrafted in the heart of the Monashees, BC. Each piece is precision CNC-carved and hand-finished in our mountain workshop using locally-sourced Canadian timber.

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

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

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

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.
