The Design Process
After you order, your GILSON artist reaches out within 48 hours. You go back and forth over email, text, or phone, whatever works best for you. Digital renderings, your feedback, repeat until they're exactly what you want. No design experience needed. Most skiers finalize in 1 to 3 rounds, and you approve the final design before we build a thing.

Custom GILSON Skis
Step 1 – Place Your Order
After checkout, pick your model and size. Not sure what's right? Your GILSON Builder will walk you through it.
Step 2 – Design Your Graphics
Within 48 hours, your artist reaches out. Chat via text, email, or phone. Mockups until you love them, then you approve for production. No design skills needed.
Step 3 – Build and Ship
Built in our Pennsylvania factory in 7 days, shipped straight to your door. The only pair in the world like them.
Whether you're a skier with an idea, a business designing for a brand, or already have the art on your sleeve, your GILSON artist is ready to work with you to bring your vision to life.
The same artists who develop GILSON's lineup graphics take your idea through sketches, color studies, and proofs until it could pass for a production ski from a major brand. The difference: it will never be mass-produced, and yours will be the only pair on Earth.
See What Others Have Created
Freestyle 96
This award-winning freestyle ski has been a favorite of riders in the know for years.
All Mountain
Our most versatile ski, able to tackle pretty much anything you throw at them. A true Swiss Army knife ski.
Yes, and it might be one of the best gifts in skiing. You're not just giving skis, you're giving the experience of designing them. Order today, and we'll email you a certificate to print and give. When your skier is ready, they connect with their GILSON artist and design the skis themselves. They show up at their door a couple weeks later, theirs in every sense.
Almost anything. Pet photos, personal artwork, tattoos, family portraits, landscapes, you name it. The one restriction is intellectual property: no copyrighted logos, album covers, or TV, movie, and video game characters unless you own the rights or have written permission from the owner. If the art is yours or was made for you, we're good to go. Not sure about your idea? Run it by us. No judgment, ever.
You pick the channel: text, email, or DM. Your artist asks what you're thinking, and your starting point can be as small as a favorite color or as complete as a finished mockup. From there it's renderings, your feedback, and revisions until they're exactly right. You approve the final design before anything gets built. Most skiers finalize in 1 to 3 rounds, and you get as many as you need.
Yes. Your graphics can be built on any ski model and size GILSON makes: Freestyle 88, Freestyle 96, All Mountain, or Carver. Not sure what fits your skiing? A GILSON Builder can walk you through the options after checkout, no pressure, no guesswork.
$1,150 all in. That covers the 1-on-1 design work with your GILSON artist, a completely original design, and the skis themselves on any model we make. No design fee, no other charges. Shop Pay installments are available at checkout.
Military, first responders, and outdoor industry professionals: reach out and we'll set you up with a personal discount code. Thank you for the work you do.
Three things add up to your timeline: art development (3 days to as long as you need, average about 1.5 weeks), the build (7 days), and shipping (3 to 5 days). Skiers who move fast on design have gone from order to door in about 2 weeks. Most land between 2 and 5 weeks, depending on how many design rounds you want.
Absolutely. Pet graphics are one of our most popular custom requests. Whether a dog, cat, or any other furry (or not-so-furry) family member, our graphic designers are experienced at turning photos into beautiful ski art. Many customers honor pets who have passed away, celebrate current companions, or combine multiple pets into one design. Send clear photos from a few angles and tell us about any special touches: halos, angel wings, backgrounds, you name it.
Completely normal, and some of our favorite builds start this way. Some skiers arrive with a full mockup and exact colors. Others bring "I love the color teal" or "something inspired by the mountains." Both work. Share a vibe, a palette, a rough concept, or a photo that inspires you, and you and your artist will take it from there.
Then we're not done. You get unlimited rounds with your artist, and nothing gets built until you approve the final design. Your artist's job isn't to get close. It's to get it exactly right.
