The ultimate chair lift conversation starter
Artistically crafted mittens for anyone and everyone!
5 seasons of mitten art experience
I first started drawing on mitts the winter I tore my ACL outside my college dorm. It kept me occupied while still allowing me to be a part of the ski world as I recovered. The support I received blew me away and I decided to make a go of my own business in this industry!
Through much trial and error, I have improved my methods and my art tremendously to cater to lovers of these yellow leather mittens. I love being able to create so many unique and even random pieces! So, whether it’s a bear telemark skiing or a ski racer disco, I promise that you’ll have the coolest mitts on the mountain!
How to buy
I’m constantly working on improving my methods of delivery and organization of the crazy demand I get each season. Currently, I sell on a first come first serve basis. This means I have a list of names that I crank through each season. Unfortunately, because I am still finishing my degree (and I do like to actually ski in my free time too), I make my list very flexible. This only means it may take me a month or two to reach your name, but I promise it’s worth the wait!
When I reach your name I’ll send you a message so that we can sort out all design requests and take payment. I like to draw out all my designs digitally on my iPad first and make sure everything is looking good to you! I’ll start on leather after corrections and approvals have been made! Then, you’ll get a picture of the completed pair and they’ll be on their way to you via USPS!
To hop on my list for the ‘24-’25 season send me a message through any platform on my contact page!

FAQ
-
I have found that Kincos are easiest to work with and to get my hands on. However, I am constantly exploring different brands in order to accommodate everyone!
I have had experience with Hestras recently and am more than willing to work on designs for those too! As well as any other brands, I'd love to experiment!
-
100% Yes! I get this question A LOT, and I can confidently say that the my drawings last for many seasons to come. I have friends who ski almost everyday in their Kincos and they have held up amazingly! I personally have a pair that has held up to the abuse of being a lift op and skied in for 4 years!
I treat every pair with at least 3 layers of Sno-Seal to seal in the art before being sent out! This first treatment prevents bleeding and fading of the ink!
The Kincos themselves are extremely durable as long as you properly re-waterproof them every few months during the ski season!
-
I have strictly used Sharpies for the 4 seasons I’ve been drawing on mitts! They’re super permanent and don’t bleed!
For the white touches, I use paint sharpie!

Yes! I'm so stoked that my mitts have found homes all over the globe! So far I've checked Canada, Australia, and England off my list along with all over the United States!
