What If Your Skis Knew You? | Custom Ski Design with Original Plus
In this episode of the Big Picture Skiing Podcast, I dive into the world of custom ski design with my friends Demelza Clay and Jason Simpson. We talk about how companies like Original Plus are creating skis built specifically around you — using details like your height, weight, skiing style, and even where you ski most.I share my own experience switching to custom skis and an interesting chat I had with Siggi Rumpfhuber, one of the founders of Original Plus, about the idea of the “perfect ski.” We unpack how flex patterns, torsional stiffness, and snow conditions all affect how a ski feels — and why the right ski might just be the one that’s designed for you.👀 If you were intrigued by the Original Plus concept and want a ski designed just for you checkout the Original Plus website here: https://www.original.plus/tomgellie🛟 Use code TGELLIE15 to take 15% off your ski!
