Proudly made in USA
Each and every pair of Shaggy's Skis is built by hand is our own factory in Northern Michigan, USA.
Inspiration
These hand illustrated Lake Michigan ski graphics feature some of the most iconic landmarks of Lake Michigan. From the breathtaking beaches and incredible Sleeping Bear Dunes to historic lighthouses and the legendary “Mighty Mac” Mackinac Bridge, these landmarks are brought to life through hand illustration by our artist, Sean.
The wood core of the skis shows through the topsheet graphic, giving these skis an aesthetic that is just as unique as the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Ski Details
This Limited Edition Lake Michigan Graphic is available on most skis in our lineup. Some skis are not listed as available on this page due to materials on top of the wood core (Brockway line, Mohawk 98, Fun Carver 88), if you are interested in seeing what those would look like, please contact us.

Premium Materials
Core
Laminated ash/poplar hardwood: Long grain premium white ash and tulip poplar is hand selected and cut into full-length strips. Strips are individually flex indexed and laminated together symmetrically. Each laminated core is CNC milled to a precise thickness profile developed for each model and length.
Composites
Unidirectional carbon fiber strips below the core, lightweight triaxial fiberglass below the core, fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock solid bonding.
Bio-Based Epoxy
Entropy Super Sap® epoxy contains 28% bio-based content and is specifically designed for skis. It's formulated for high-strength and impact resistance, which creates a durable, tough, and lightweight composite.
Bio-Based Urethane Sidewalls
Full-height Urethane sidewalls contain at least 25% bio-based content, partially derived from coconuts! This eco-friendly construction method reduces plastic sidewall waste by at least 60% without compromising on quality. A rounded mini-cap top edge rolls over the sidewall to protect your topsheets.
Topsheet
Clearview gloss nylon with sublimated graphics and transparent windows to the wood core.
Base + Edge
1.4 mm CNC Knife Cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm over-sized and heat treated edges take a beating.
Why Shaggy's?
Every single pair of Shaggy’s is built at our small, family owned ski factory in Boyne City, Michigan. We source all of our materials as locally as possible and take no shortcuts during the build process, using the most modern equipment and methods to carefully craft our skis.
Cutting-edge technology, premium materials, and limitless customization are worthless if the end product isn’t built with passion. A love for skiing is a prerequisite for each and every employee at Shaggy’s. We design, prototype, and test every ski model before it’s made available to you, and that passion for skiing is clearly evident in our end product.
That exacting detail doesn’t end with your new skis; your experience as a customer is paramount to us as well. Our team is always happy to offer assistance - before, during, and after your ski purchase. Find out for yourself why we refer to our customers as the Shaggy’s Family.
Race Tuned
Tuned in house with a state of the art Wintersteiger Scout Plus, the same automated grinder used by the US Ski Team.
Precision Fit
Every ski part is CNC milled or cut and then laminated in solid aluminum tooling for a more precise fit and longer lasting performance.
Hand Selected and Flexed Hardwood Cores
Each piece of hardwood is individually flex indexed and laminated symmetrically for a better, more consistent ski core.
