CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF ICELANTIC

This season marks a pretty wild milestone for us at Icelantic — 20 years of building handmade skis, telling stories through art, and celebrating the mountain culture that brought us all together.

What started back in 2005 as a passion project between friends in a Colorado garage has evolved into something much bigger than we ever imagined. Two decades later, we’re proud to be one of the most respected independent ski brands in the U.S.—known for our distinctive artwork, bombproof construction, and deep-rooted connection to nature and community.

As our Co-Founder and CEO, Annelise Loevlie, puts it:

“This milestone isn’t just about skis—it’s about celebrating the people, creativity, and community that have fueled Icelantic from day one. From the first prototypes in Ben’s garage to seeing our skis on mountains around the world, this 20-year mark is a testament to everyone who’s been part of our story.”

And she’s right—this anniversary is for all of you. The artists who’ve poured their souls into every topsheet. The athletes who’ve trusted our skis to carry them down lines that most people only dream about. The partners and friends who’ve supported us from day one. And, of course, the community of skiers who keep choosing to ride Icelantic year after year.

To celebrate, we’ve got a full lineup of events and projects happening throughout the 25/26 season—and we’d love for you to join us along the way:

For 20 years, our mission has stayed the same: to create durable, high-performing skis that connect people to nature and inspire adventure. Every pair is still handmade in Denver, Colorado, and backed by our 3-Year Bombproof Warranty—a promise that’s as strong as the community behind it.

Here’s to the next 20 years of making art you can ski on.
