About the Artist
Jason Limberg is an artist who focuses on drawing, working primarily in pen & ink. Living in the woods of the Upper Peninsula I am surrounded by an abundance of wildlife and scenery.
I’ve always had a deep fascination with the forest and its inhabitants. There is a mysterious, ephemeral quality of the natural realm that captivates me.
My work is a personal journal of the inner peace I find in the woods, integrated with musings of the animals' lives weaving among the trees.
Much of my passion lies in translating the intricate details and subtleties of the environment, alongside the surreal elements of my imagination.
With an empathetic eye, I strive to reveal the spirit and essence of the animals I draw. I am a draftsman aligned with the night, captivated by the natural breath, & searching for the timeless dance.

Customer Reviews
55 degree wind blown Rocky Mountains chutes, bumps, trees or groomers these are the perfect big mountain, all mountain skis!
I read all the reviews and talked to Shaggy’s a few times prior to buying. After the research, I thought these would be the skis I used for many years to come. After skiing them 3 days in Alaska, I’m very on the fence regarding keeping them. Only thing holding me back is the cash I have into them and the awesomeness of how they look. I have Ahmeek 105’s, 180 cm in length.
Here’s the details: I’m 6’1”, 180 lb, advanced skier. Pow days on advanced to expert is what I’m at home at. I ski 25+ days a year from the Midwest to the Rockies. My daily drivers are Elan Ripstick 88’s, which I absolutely love.
I expected them to take a few days to get used to compared to my other skis, but the Ahmeek’s are still difficult to turn and feel like they have bricks tied to them. They are fun in powder, however still difficult to maneuver. Sizing down from 180 cm might have been a better option. How much better, hard to say though.
It took me a month to write this review as I really want to love the Ahmeek skis. I failed to compare the detailed specs and see how heavy they are compared to my Elan’s. That’s on me. I’ll give the Ahmeek’s a few more pow days before I sell them and will update the review if I discover something that changes my views around.
Some positive items to note: Shaggy’s customer service is excellent, skis are extremely well build and of high quality, and the graphics offerings and customization is awesome.
Been skiing the Ahmeek 105 in 186cm since March of ‘24. Ran these first in Michigan at Crystal Mountain on a weekday after a bit of spring melt. Pleasantly surprised by the edge grip on all their selection of runs.
Brought these west to Breckenridge for first week of April spring break skiing as the alternative to my beloved Fat-ypus Desenders, 112 waist in 194cm, which have been my everyday west skis. The Ahmeeks are up for the task. With a thinner height these are ready to rotate on edge and carve. They also give float for a couple inches to half a foot of fresh snow.
Running these in January’25 as the go to set at Keystone, Vail, Breck and Crested Butte. Work for carving groomed blues and blacks, bumping, side stalk, steeps, and everything they encounter. Only one day in the last dozen was spent on another ski set when it snowed 6”-8” and my 125 waist powder boards were tasked.
They. Are. Perfect.
I bought my first pair of Shaggy Ahmeeks 8 years ago. It’s been my go to ski ever since. After 200 days on the ski I figured it was time for the upgrade. Unlike my first pair which I customized the ski, I went with one of the stock CU models for the added “steeze”. Right out of the box, the skis exceeded my expectations. Same great ski only a little bit better. It rails on hard pack; plows through the crud; floats in the freshies; and slices through the ice. The most versatile ski anything ski I have ridden. The new Ahmeek really rewards you when you stay centered over the ski. It becomes a rocket ship. Ive said this before - Buy your skis from a local ski company that knows and loves skiing. Avoid those big name conglomerates with their corporate boards that don’t understand what skiing is. Life is short, get a pair of Ahmeeks and enjoy the ride!
