As many of you know, I have tried a number of times over the years to to get a few old school cult favorite skis remade by the original manufacturers... without success... so the only logical conclusion is do it myself.
Meet Heritage Lab.
INTENT
Produce niche skis that the industry has forgotten about and abandoned, but remain cult classics to this day.
STATUS
I am finalizing designs, making deposits on molds right now. I expect to deliver this first round of skis in October. Due to high mold costs, I need at least 25 pair pre-ordered to produce that model, so I am opening pre-order now (TODAY!) for this project. Anyone joining the email list or placing a preorder will receive monthly updates on the progress of every model on offer.
ABOUT
I am a one man band, but I am serious about making this concept go. I will keep making other models in the future and invite anyone keen on the idea to visit the website and "Vote" for what other models should be next. I will share how different models rank from voting in the email newsletter, so might be worth joining for that reason alone!
SUPPORT
I intend to support this project long-term and take warranty and rider support seriously. At this stage, I give my personal word to support every Heritage Lab skier. I will carry a few pair of model/length for the season in case of warranty and will offer crash replacement to original and second hand owners alike. Please see the "Guarantee" and "Warranty" sections of the website for more information.
DETAILS
It is probably easiest to just Visit The Website to learn more specifics, but the summary is the offering will include metal 120, 99, 87 shapes. Please ask any questions you might have here, so I can reply and update the website accordingly.
INVITATION
This is a personal passion project from me to you. This project is community driven in nature, so I hope you join in making this project real.

Thank you Mc_Roon and Skifishbum, Swerv, Iriponsnow, and Arlid for the thought partnership in developing the concept. Thank you Geoff for putting your money where your mouth is and being the first-ever Heritage Lab customer.
Thank you,
Marshal
UPDATE: Dedicated threads starting to pop up as well.
