This photographic collaboration with Keweenaw Night Sky Photography captures the beauty of the Northern Lights, known as Aurora Borealis, over Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.
Share your love of the night sky and memories from Up North with these limited edition skis.
Only 100 of these Aurora Borealis skis are available. Once they're sold out, they're gone for good!
Keweenaw Night Sky by Jeremy Rowe has been capturing the night sky since 2009.
Jeremy relies on smart phone apps that alert him to when Aurora Borealis will put on a show. Sometimes, a glow in the sky at dusk is his cue to load his dog in the car and drive to one of his favorite dark spots 20 miles away. He takes the majority of his photos in Keweenaw County.
He’s raced out before only to find the cloud cover was too thick.
“It’s a decisive moment. If you go to bed, you wake the next morning and somebody else might’ve caught it,” Rowe said.
Rowe picked up photography from his father, who’s an underwater photographer. He promotes his work on Facebook and also maintains a website where people can reach out to him about purchasing prints. It’s exhausting to stay up until 4 a.m. taking photos on a weeknight, but he sees himself as the correspondent for people who go to bed early and never experience the shimmering light show.
“I’m really a conduit for people who don’t get out to see this stuff,” Rowe said. “It does feel adventurous. I’m jumping in the car in the middle of the night and racing up north.”
Many of his favorite photography spots are between Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor. A 70-degree night last October was especially “phenomenal,” he said.
“When they’re really, really intense, that’s when you don’t even realize time’s going by. You’re inside of the camera,” Rowe said.

Laminated Ash or 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.
Unidirectional Carbon Fiber strips along the core, lightweight Triaxial Fiberglass above and beneath the core, Fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock solid bonding.
Full height UHMW - the same raw material as your base, bombproof and double chamfered for reduced swingweight.
Clearview gloss Nylon with sublimated graphics and transparent windows to inside the ski.
1.4 mm CNC Knife Cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm over-sized and heat treated edges take a beating.

Blog Post About How to Size and Pick Skis
Here's a basic chart to get you started.
Sizing skis is a little bit of an art and a little bit of a science. There are numerous factors that all effect the optimal ski length for you.
A few of the factors are:
The list could go on and on, but if you need help with the decision, always feel free to call us at 231.459.4323, live chat, or email us!
What snow conditions are they made for?
Are they right for me?
The limited edition Northern Lights graphic is available on any ski model that we make. If you're unsure about which model is right for you, just give us a call at 231-459-4323 or email mail@skishaggys.com for help!
What length should I get?
Each model in our ski line has unique characteristics - please visit each individual ski model page for more info or contact us. View 2020 skis at https://www.skishaggys.com/collections/2019-2020-skis.
What bindings should I get?
You can use any binding on these skis. The binding brake width must be at least as wide as the waist width of your selected ski model. For example, the Ahmeek 105s require a brake width of at least 105 mm. We run Marker Griffon bindings on our demo skis. Visit your local ski shop for bindings and mounting.
What are Camber Pockets?
Camber Pockets are additional small sections of camber (about 4" long and 0.030" tall) molded into the overall camber of the ski in front of and behind your midsole position. They increase contact pressure to improve grip on hardpack and ice.
Are they tuned and waxed?
Skis come tuned with a 1° base edge bevel and a 3° side edge bevel and a slight tip/tail detune. The skis are waxed with a universal temperature wax to get you going.
I spent a lot of time analyzing skis and specs before finally making my selection and deciding on Shaggys Ahmeek 105’s. I mounted them up with Atomic Shifts and selected a pair of Scarpa Maestrale RS boots as I’m planning to do some side country-back country skiing with them. I’ve only gotten one day on them yet, but there was about 4” of fresh on the ground at Red Lodge yesterday and they were just what I was looking for. Playful yet confidence inspiring when I found the ice underneath. I charge pretty hard most of the time and was concerned that they may be chattery at speed in icy and firm conditions, but there wasn’t anything to be worried about I couldn’t push them hard enough to experience any. I’m sure that Michigan hardwood is responsible for that. Definitely easier to swing in the trees than my Rossignol 100 HD Ti’s, more playful, and just as dependable when I needed an edge. The craftsmanship on these is incredible and Aurora Borealis graphic is beautiful. I’ll be back the next time I need a new pair of skis and when my kids grow into adult sized skis I’ll be hooking them up with Shaggys!
The Shaggy’s Ahmeek 105s are the best skies I have owned. Can rip on fresh groomers, float on powder, tame the trees, and conquer the moguls. I only wish I would of purchased a set sooner.
2018 Ahmeek 105's - 180 length. LOVE these skis. First tracks on frozen groomers in the am, chopped pow all day, deep powder chasing poachers and saving people from themselves the rest of the day. The TRUE TEST for a patrol ski is if you can skate / pull a loaded sled AND stop it with the right ski...some powder skis flex too much and lack of effective edge will get your heart racing on a 2X black rescue. Not on this ski....great stopping power.....It's not all about the go, ya know. Great size and performance - sorry - not a technical guy - But I know what works if I'm skiing it 8 hours a day.
I'll look to Shaggy's for a 'recreational' set - Thanks for a great design and construction - AND MADE IN THE USA!!
So I've been riding Volkls for my last three pairs of skis, and I loved them. BUT Ahmeek's blew them out of the water. I typically like 178cm or 179cm, but the 180cm and the profile on this ski totally solved that. On straight early season groomed, icy, conditions this ski rode really well. The thing I was most impressed with is the feel. It was very playful, but still solid under my feet. If you like getting off the main runs, open bowl, spaced trees, and general exploring of the mountain...this ski is what you want. I liked them so much that I immediately put both Shaggy stickers on the roof box, and i'm now ordering the 115s for my second pair. I've demo'd a lot of skis, these have been my favorite. I can't wait to get on these in mid season conditions.
Side note: I rode 108 width most of last season. I was worried that the 108 --> 105 width would feel smaller, but the 105's felt wider than 105. Which I really liked. I think the 105s will do excellent for all powder days, no doubt. I'm getting the 115s for the big stuff, and so I can manage the ware and make the skis last multiple season.
ENJOY!
I can honestly say that these are my favorite skis that I have owned. I, like so many others, had my apprehensions about going to a wider ski. All of my previous skis had been 85mm and skinnier, so the idea of going to a 105 seemed unheard of. Also, I live in Minnesota where we aren't known for getting frequent dumps of snow, and I thought that a ski as wide as 105 would only be good on deep powder. All of this to say, I made the drive up from Minneapolis to the Shaggy's demo day at Spirit Mountain last February and fell in love with the Ahmeek 105. For fear of sounding like everyone else (not a bad problem to have in this case), I truly fell in love with these skis. They handle just about everything really well. They are really fun to ski in the powder, the crud, and groomers, alike. They have so much life when coming in and out of turns! The only time I deviated from them last season was right at the end of the season when it was 50 degrees and REALLY slushy. Their skis and customer service are amazing. It is so refreshing to be able to call up a company and get honest opinions from people that are passionate and knowledgeable about what they are talking about. I have finally found a brand I can be excited to rep for! Thanks, Shaggy's!

Our standard layup construction includes a select cut Ash hardwood core wrapped with triaxial fiberglass and carbon fiber stringers under the core. The carbon stringers are used to increase pop and rebound energy in the ski, while complementing the predictable and torsionally rigid feel of the triaxial fiberglass.
The standard layup is best suited for the majority of skiers, it blends the traditional hardwood core with an energetic feel. Skis utilizing this construction perform virtually the same as their Pure Carbon counterpart. Best for all mountain skiing with limited backcountry touring.
This method of construction incorporates a sheet of nanoMAG® magnesium into our Standard Layup that significantly reduces vibration and chatter in the nastiest conditions. The damping of the material increases edge hold and creates an exceptionally smooth ride.
The nanoMAG® Damping System is suited for the skier looking for the ultimate in smooth skiing, especially when making high speed turns. This option maximizes grip on ice. Two words to describe this option are "Smooth and Stable". This will slightly reduce liveliness (vs. Standard or Pure Carbon) but gives you that Cadillac Ride!
We press your digital design into a plastic topsheet using the highest quality sublimation inks. During this process the ink actually becomes a gas and permeates into the plastic, actually becoming part of the plastic.

The standard layup is best suited for the majority of skiers, it blends the traditional hardwood core with an energetic feel. Skis utilizing this construction perform virtually the same as their Pure Carbon counterpart. Best for all mountain skiing with limited backcountry touring.
Our Pure Carbon construction includes an ultra lightweight biaxial Carbon Fiber (+-45 deg. orientation) coupled with a slightly heavier unidirectional Carbon Fiber. A full Carbon model allows for an exceptionally lightweight and responsive ski. The exceptionally high strength and stiffness of the Carbon Fiber allows us to use a lightweight Poplar wood core, that is Select Cut in Northern Michigan. For maximum binding screw retention, we mill out the core and place an extra retention plate in the binding area. Average weight savings versus their standard counterpart is 1.6 - 1.8 LB/Pair.
The Pure Carbon layup is best suited for the skier looking to often use the ski for backcountry touring where the weight savings allows for more climbing, or someone looking for the lightest ski. Many skiers have reported back that they are able to increase their on-snow time when the conditions are rough, primarily due to reduced muscle fatigue. Skis utilizing this construction perform virtually the same as their standard counterpart, however have a significant weight savings.
*Please note that due to the opacity of Carbon Fiber, skis with this construction will not have "clear windows" into the core as on some models. The windows will instead show the carbon fiber on top of the wood core. Alternatively, and based on availability you may specify to have your graphic printed on a lightweight matte finish white material. Ski graphics with "windows" to see the core, will be white instead.

The wood cores are the "hearts" of your skis. At Shaggy's we start out with select cut Northern Michigan hardwood, primarily Ash wood. Ash is an exceptionally snappy and responsive wood with a very high stiffness for it's density. The long grain of the wood that is developed through our bitter cold winters and warm summers gives our cores an unmatched longevity! We also us local Beech and Poplar woods for specific models. The Poplar is used in skis featuring a Pure Carbon construction skis due to it's light nature. We use Beech for a slightly smoother and less poppy ride than Ash. We proudly source our Hardwood from a Matelski's mill right down the street in Boyne Falls, MI.

Our standard layup construction includes a select cut Ash hardwood core wrapped with triaxial fiberglass and carbon fiber stringers under the core. The carbon stringers are used to increase pop and rebound energy in the ski, while complementing the predictable and torsionally rigid feel of the triaxial fiberglass.
The standard layup is best suited for the majority of skiers, it blends the traditional hardwood core with an energetic feel. Skis utilizing this construction perform virtually the same as their Pure Carbon counterpart. Best for all mountain skiing with limited backcountry touring.
This method of construction incorporates a sheet of nanoMAG® magnesium into our Standard Layup that significantly reduces vibration and chatter in the nastiest conditions. The damping of the material increases edge hold and creates an exceptionally smooth ride.
The nanoMAG® Damping System is suited for the skier looking for the ultimate in smooth skiing, especially when making high speed turns. This option maximizes grip on ice. Two words to describe this option are "Smooth and Stable". This will slightly reduce liveliness (vs. Standard or Pure Carbon) but gives you that Cadillac Ride!
Our MidLight Construction combines a laminated Ash and Poplar hardwood core wrapped with a lighter Triaxial Fiberglass and twice the unidirectional Carbon Fiber of the standard construction. This construction style reduces the weight of the ski by ~1/2 lb/pair while maintaining all the energetic characteristics of our Standard Ash construction. With the MidLight construction, you get a ski that's on the lighter side of the spectrum, but is rock solid when it comes to charging through nasty variable snow.
This is best suited for someone who will be exploring all parts of the mountain and likely doing a fair amount of off-piste skiing where maneuvering a lighter ski is easier. It is also great for a person looking for a daily driver ski that can also be used for backcountry touring.
Our Pure Carbon construction includes an ultra lightweight biaxial Carbon Fiber (+-45 deg. orientation) coupled with a slightly heavier unidirectional Carbon Fiber. A full Carbon model allows for an exceptionally lightweight and responsive ski. The exceptionally high strength and stiffness of the Carbon Fiber allows us to use a lightweight Poplar wood core, that is Select Cut in Northern Michigan. For maximum binding screw retention, we mill out the core and place an extra retention plate in the binding area. Average weight savings versus their standard counterpart is 1.6 - 1.8 LB/Pair.
The Pure Carbon layup is best suited for the skier looking to often use the ski for backcountry touring where the weight savings allows for more climbing, or someone looking for the lightest ski. Many skiers have reported back that they are able to increase their on-snow time when the conditions are rough, primarily due to reduced muscle fatigue. Skis utilizing this construction perform virtually the same as their standard counterpart, however have a significant weight savings.
*Please note that due to the opacity of Carbon Fiber, skis with this construction will not have "clear windows" into the core as on some models. The windows will instead show the carbon fiber on top of the wood core.
