Anne moved to Lake Placid in 2001, eager to hit the slopes and fulfill her childhood dream to ski as much as possible in the Adirondack’s magical winter wonderland. Since the only gear she owned was her older brother’s circa 1980 Rossignol Strato 102 skis with Look Nevada bindings, she was blown away to find pair upon pair of seemingly ‘new’ skis being thrown away. There was no way Anne was letting beautiful skis end up in the landfill. It was like Christmas! Soon, Anne had a dozen or so pairs of skis stashed behind the old cabin she rented in downtown Lake Placid. Ironically, her 1930’s cabin reportedly was the workshop of some of the first ski makers in the United States.

Anne’s collection of skis grew, as did her love of the Adirondacks. One day at Whiteface Mountain’s Midstation, she saw a clunky chair made out of skis sitting on the deck. “That’s cool… I bet I could make a chair like that… but nicer,” she thought. And the rest is history. Anne started making ski chairs in 2005. Decades of trial, error, and improvement has led to a full line of superior products. Her keen eye for color, attention to detail, and exceptional craftsmanship result in stunning, one-of-a-kind works of art that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical. From tiny earrings to full-size deck chairs, you'll love Anne's ever-expanding line of upcycled goods.
