The American Alpine Club

Through its members, the AAC advocates for American climbers domestically and around the world; provides grants and volunteer opportunities to protect and conserve climbing areas; hosts local and national climbing festivals and events; cares for the nation’s leading climbing library and mountaineering museum; manages a lodging network for climbers; and annually gives about $100,000 toward climbing, conservation, education and research grants that fund adventurers who travel the world.

We're excited for the opportunity to team up with the ACC to bring you these limited edition skis, featuring a beautiful graphic by Denver-based artist Noelle Phares. A portion of every ski sold will go towards supporting the great work done by the ACC.

Nolle Phares

Noelle Phares is a watercolor and mixed-media artist who brings a fresh perspective into her landscape paintings through abstract detail atop realistic subjects. She has been painting throughout the American West over the last decade. As an environmental scientist by training, she brings her left-brain attention to detail and discipline into her artwork, while allowing the same topics that drive her work in agricultural sustainability to seep into her art to inspire people to respect and wonder at natural resources. Her most recent body of work combines realistic landscape elements with structural geometry, exploring the ever-encroaching presence of humanity into previously pristine open spaces. She holds a BS in Biochemistry, and an MS in Environmental Science. She currently lives and paints out of Denver, CO.

High Noon

Quickdraw

Our award winning frontside carver. It's an all-mountain carver and best seller that has given weekend warriors to ski racers a reason to smile while flying down the hill. Want to lay it over till you drag your shoulder? Want to have such a solid feel under your ski boots that you feel like you are attached to iron rails? This is the ski designed specifically for you. With its wide shovel and narrow waist, you have the ability to maneuver edge to edge effortlessly while the tip floats through powder and crushes the crud.

High Noon

Noon is fast approaching!  These sticks will get you to where you are going in a hurry!  With a solid platform at 98 underfoot blended with some nice shape, it's sure to make you smile.
