THE PARLOR EXPERIENCE
THE FITTING
The Parlor fitting is as much personal as it is technical. It is as much a conversation about getting to know you, as a detailed questionnaire. We start by honing in on what you are looking to get out of your skis, where you ski, your favorite runs, or ideal day. From there we'll talk about your style of skiing and how you want the ski to perform.
Every fitting is different and we always drill down to the details that matter to you whether it is an improvement you'd like to make in your skiing, or a specific performance you want from the ski based on profile and materials. Once we've completed this step, we feel confident that the ski we build for you is going to meet your needs perfectly.

DESIGNING YOUR TOP SHEETS
Creating your own custom topsheets with a Parlor designer is the ultimate way to blend your personal aesthetic with the performance of your ski. We pair you with one of our designers, based on a loose or detailed description of what you want your skis to look like. They work with you via phone/email to develop a concept and then send you a few drafts for feedback. Together you refine the look until it's perfect! We include 2.5 hours of design time in the price of the skis and this usually does the trick. Additional design time is be billed hourly if needed. For inspiration, check out @parlorskis.

THE BUILD
Once your topsheets are approved, your skis are ready to be built. This is where your aesthetic meets our high quality materials and craftsmanship. First the bases, cores and graphics are collected and shaped. The skis are then laid up using a Green Poxy Resin and Vectorply Triaxial fiberglass before being put into the press. Once out of the press, we do the final edging and shaping. Every pair of skis is then hand tuned and waxed.
