7. Meier Skis

Downvalley from Aspen, in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, lies the home of Meier Skis. This place is also known as the resting place of Doc Holliday. Our ski maker, just five years old, draws inspiration for its model names from the gunfighter’s contemporaries, like Wild Bill and Calamity Jane.

What sets us apart is our commitment to locally sourced wood. The pine beetle epidemic has devastated Colorado's conifer forests, creating a significant fire hazard. We help reduce this threat by using as much beetle-killed lumber as possible—about 20% of each ski’s core. The rest is made from Colorado aspen.

We emphasize local ingredients by using clear topsheets that make the wood visible. Our sidewalls are made from recycled ABS, and our bonding resin is crafted from pine oil and recycled vegetable oil.

This year, our small team of five will produce around 600 pairs of skis, spread across 10 models in 27 different sizes. Our prices are competitive with those built overseas by major brands.
