Our goal is simple: make you happier on the snow than you've ever been. We are on the never ending quest to build the absolute best product possible. Our skis are built by the skilled hands of the Thompson family along with some great craftsman. 

You won't find marketing gimmicks here at Shaggy's, we simply use engineering and real world testing (on the snow) to refine and improve our skis.

Every ski we make starts with a laminated hardwood core - and that core starts with some of the world’s best select cut lumber, grown in Northern Michigan. We use Ash and Poplar, rough cut from the mill a few miles down the street, Matelski Lumber. Each board is then cut into strips, each strip is flex indexed, and then re-laminated into a symmetrical flexing core blank. The core blank is then precisely milled on our CNC router to hold the tightest tolerances.

The hardwood ski cores are wrapped with composite materials optimized to enhance your skiing experience. Every ski we produce uses uni-directional carbon fiber to add pop and stiffness without adding any noticeable weight. Combined with the carbon fiber is triaxial fiberglass, which orients fibers in three directions, one down the length of the ski and two at ±45° for great torsional rigidity and a predictable flex. Pure Carbon construction skis also use an ultra light ±45° biaxial carbon fiber that wraps the core without fiberglass.
