Make your own tracks
Skiing doesn’t just happen – it’s something you create. Whether it’s quick laps on local hills or long journeys to the mountains, skiing is a commitment. It’s a choice to make the most of every opportunity, even when life doesn’t make it easy.
Central Park Skiers was born in New York, out of the tension between big city life and a deep love for the outdoors – skiing in particular. The brand was inspired by snowy days in Central Park, strapping on skis with my son, looping around Sheep Meadow, and finding our rhythm in the midst of the city's hustle. Those moments sparked the idea to create gear that bridges the alpine and the urban.
Now based in Helsinki, I design and handcraft high-performance backpacks tailored to the needs of both seasoned and aspiring ski alpinists and backcountry skiers.
