People often ask where our end-of-life skis wind up, and the answer is cooler than you expect: jewelry! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heather Mullins is the local artist behind <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apresskijewelry.com\/\">Apr\u00e8s Ski Jewelry<\/a><\/strong>, creating gorgeous jewelry from our collection of skis that are no longer skiable. Beyond that, she&#8217;s incredibly creative and a talented builder with reclaimed wood and other materials to create anything you can think of. Not only does she recycle our end-of-life skis into something beautiful, but she also builds tons of furniture and storefront pieces for us here at the shop with beetle kill pine and other ski pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heather took some time to show us around her studio, where she cuts, sands, and builds all the intricate designs you see with the finished products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_7.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_7-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_7-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Heather&#8217;s storage shed rivals many quivers<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How&#8217;d you get into art and crafting these pieces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heather:<\/strong> I think a lot of things\u2014I went to art school, and my undergrad and grad degrees are both in sculpture. I started using the wood and metal shop a lot. But, I will say I grew up just helping my parents with fix-it projects, and they got me swinging a hammer really early. I&#8217;ve always been creative, and that&#8217;s an outlet for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What started the jewelry business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heather:<\/strong>  That&#8217;s&#8230; so, for one, I never thought I would have a jewelry business! In college, I did not like the small stuff. I didn&#8217;t love the metalsmithing. I didn&#8217;t like any of that. I love making big stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I went to grad school in Chicago, and I was in the wood and metal shop there. And that&#8217;s where I started making furniture. And then I had a lot of scrap. I had scraps out of metal, out of fire hose&#8230;scraps of just tons of stuff that I started, for fun, making jewelry out of. While I was in school, I would sew stuff out of other materials, too. So, at one point during that time, I made a table out of skis. I had the offcuts, and I&#8217;m like, <em>&#8220;Wow, these are the best scraps I&#8217;ve ever seen.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Some ski scraps Heather is working on. See anything familiar? <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s how that started. That was about 15 years ago in Chicago, and I would just kind of make them for fun. And then I moved back to Colorado, where I&#8217;m originally from. I grew up in Evergreen. I had a job that kind of fell through and wasn&#8217;t a good fit, so I thought I&#8217;d better start focusing on this stuff I&#8217;ve been doing and make my own business happen. That&#8217;s basically how Apr\u00e8s Ski Jewelry started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My furniture company has always been called <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/relevantreuse.com\/\">Relevant Reuse<\/a><\/strong>, but then I rebranded the jewelry a few years after, just because I needed a name that was&#8230;relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you look for in a ski? Are there certain wood types that are better than others?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heather:<\/strong> Skis with metal are tricky. I&#8217;ve found ways to use the metal for things like coasters, for instance, and then I&#8217;ve started making keychains out of the edges. I&#8217;m finding a few more ways to use that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for the main jewelry, what I really love is a very pretty wood core that has multiple layers, so you see stripes and the variety in the wood rather than just one solid piece of pine. I love the most colorful ones. People like the neutrals as well, so that&#8217;s always in there, but I really like the great colorful skis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, and skis that don&#8217;t have like too many bumps and ridges and stuff. That&#8217;s hard to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_6.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_6-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A stash of ski cuts where you can see the multilayer wood cores Heather loves<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are you able to use an entire ski?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heather: <\/strong>It depends on the ski, but somewhere between 50-90% of a ski I usually use. I&#8217;ve started to find ways to use the tips and tails, but generally the flat and smooth parts are the easiest to work with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does your process look like for building the jewelry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heather:<\/strong> I first pick out what skis I want to make, so that might be based on getting some variety or based on a specific order someone has. Then I&#8217;ll cut the skis across on a horizontal band saw to get through the edge. So they&#8217;ll be in bigger chunks, and then I will cut them lengthwise on a tabletop band saw, and then cut them down into the small pieces you see for the jewlery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then, sand them on the sander, and then oil them to seal them. They get sanded very lightly by hand again, then I&#8217;ll assemble with the metal pieces and package them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Check out final pieces below!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"19632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"19639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_12.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_12-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_12-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"19641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_10-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_10-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_10-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_10-rotated.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"19640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_11.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_11-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/apresski_3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you use any other recycled materials in your work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heather:<\/strong> I love working with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainablelumberco.com\/2019\/10\/what-the-heck-is-beetle-killed-pine\/\">beetle-kill pine<\/a><\/strong>.
