Your art. Your ride. You've got this.

Why it's so easy

Our custom upload studio lets you upload an image straight from your phone or computer and see it on a ski or snowboard right away. Move it, size it, check how it looks, and pick the version you love. What you see in the preview is exactly what we print, right down to the rounded tip and tail corners, and we cut each wrap with a little extra overhang so it fits your ski or board cleanly.

Who it's for (spoiler: you)

Custom wraps aren't just for pros or people with fancy software. Here's what riders of every age are putting on their gear.

Little artists, big smiles

Snap a photo of your kid's drawing, upload it, and watch their face when they see it on their skis. It's their art on the hill, and it's a memory you'll keep long after they outgrow the gear.

Your crew, your colors

Show up to the lift line with something nobody else has. Mix inside jokes, pets and your own art, and make every wrap in the group different.

High school & college: your crew, your story

This is the age when your gear says who you are. Your crew has its own jokes, its own colors and its own legends from last season. Put all of it on your skis or board and roll up to the lift line looking like nobody else on the hill.

Not sure where to start? Grab your favorite photo from the camera roll, drop it into the studio and see how it looks. You can try as many ideas as you want before you pick one. Every wrap is $129.99, any size.

Step by step

1. Pick or create your image. A photo, your own artwork, or something you made with an AI image tool.
2. Check the size. Bigger is better. Use the table below to see if your image is big enough for a sharp print.
3. Upload it. From your phone or computer, open our custom upload studio.
4. Preview it on your ski or board. Move and resize until it looks perfect. Keep faces and text away from the edges and the binding area. The studio warns you if your image is too low resolution, so there are no surprises.
5. Pick your size. Youth fits skis 80–167 cm and snowboards 90–149 cm. Large fits skis 168–205 cm and snowboards 150–178 cm. Wraps print a little oversized and you trim to your exact length.
6. Check out. That's it. We print it in Colorado. Free shipping on orders over $100.

Yes, right from your phone

Sitting in the lodge with a hot cocoa and a camera roll full of great shots? That's all you need. Pick your favorite, drop it into the studio and see it on your skis before you finish your drink.

How big should my image be?

Your image needs to be tall and skinny, the same shape as a ski or board. For skis you can either upload one image and we'll put it on both skis, upload a separate image for each ski (great for a left/right split), or make one image that spans the pair. The ski sizes below are for each ski. For one image across the whole pair, make it twice as wide: about 296 mm (11.7 in) for Youth or 332 mm (13.1 in) for Large.

Print areas include a small bleed past the cut line. Swipe the table sideways on your phone.

Quick rule: aim for 150 DPI. It looks great on the snow and in the lift line. 300 DPI is extra crisp if your file can get there. Below 100 DPI the print starts to look soft, and our upload studio will warn you before you order.

What's DPI, in plain English?

DPI means dots per inch: how many pixels of your image land in each inch of the print. Your image has a fixed number of pixels. Stretch it across a long ski and each pixel gets bigger. A 1,000-pixel-tall image on a 66-inch ski gives you about 15 pixels per inch, which looks blurry. Give it 9,900 pixels and you get 150 per inch: smooth and sharp.

The farther away you are, the less detail your eyes can pick out. Up close, about 8 inches from the topsheet, DPI shows. From about 5 feet standing over your gear, at 10 feet in the lift line, or across the room on the wall above the couch, 100, 150 and 300 DPI look the same. People notice your design, not your pixels.

File tips for the best print

• File type: JPG or PNG.
• Color: sRGB, the standard for phones and most apps.
• Fill the whole space. Cover the entire ski or board edge to edge, with no white borders.
• Keep the good stuff centered. Faces, names and text should stay away from the edges, the tip and tail curves, and the binding area.
• Phone photos usually work great. Use the original photo, not a screenshot or a version saved from social media, since those get shrunk.
• Tall is your friend. A ski is about 11 times taller than it is wide, a board about 5 times. A square photo will need zooming or extending.

Making art with AI tools

AI image tools are a fun way to dream up a one-of-a-kind wrap. Describe what you want (style, colors, subject, mood), ask for the tallest portrait shape the tool offers, download the largest version, then upscale it to reach the sizes in the table.

Try a prompt like: "bold illustrated mountain sunrise, layered peaks, warm orange and deep blue, clean modern graphic style, no text."

• Using an image generator? Ask for a tall portrait image, then upscale it to the largest size before you upload. We check every file prints sharp.

Honest heads-up: most AI images are too small on their own and need upscaling. No AI tool makes an 11:1 ski shape yet, so generate the tallest shape you can and extend it. AI can still mess up hands, faces and text, so zoom in and check. And only upload art you have the right to use: your own photos, your own artwork, or AI images whose terms let you print them. No logos, brand names, team marks or copyrighted characters.

Free upscaling tip: a free AI upscaler can enlarge an image 4× and keep it sharp. Running it twice can take a 1,024 × 1,536 image to over 16,000 pixels tall, more than enough for a 150 DPI ski. Many AI tools also have a built-in "upscale" button. Try that first.
