Building Skis since 2020
Woodchuck was founded in a basement by two dudes who love every aspect of the skiing experience. We got our start building rails in our backyards and shoveling truckloads of snow from the local ice rink to get some practice in pre-season. After a couple years of backyard rails, we were ready for a new challenge.Ski building starts with a ski press, the most important piece of equipment in ski manufacturing. We needed a custom design that allowed for pressing skis (and snowboards) at a range of lengths and widths, but could also fit in the tight space we had to work with. In addition, our press had to withstand the 50,000+ pounds of force needed to press a ski without bending or breaking. We engineered our press with safety, versatility, and longevity in mind to be able to suit the future demands of scaling up production for skis that are fully customizable. We will be here for the long haul and achieving that goal requires we prioritize durability, repairability, and sustainability through every layer of our business.Today we're on our way to becoming a ski manufacturer that aims to connect skiers with locally made equipment, built by hand, and custom made for every order. We want to help all skiers, from magic carpet riders to lift line cliff droppers, to find the ski that works best for them. Our business thrives on transparency and community by inviting our customers to learn more about how their favorite gear is made. We aim to create a strong connection between the customer and the build process to continue to enrich the exceptional, long-standing ski culture of the east coast!
