A Recycled Ski Chair

skichair-recycledjpg If you love skiing and want to think about it in every season, here is just the chair for your home or garden. A variation on the much beloved Muskoka (Adirondack) chair but made of recycled skis, or snowboards, these chairs will give you a lift any time. Hand crafted and set into certified cedar, you could also have a coat rack made out of snowboards, tables with inlaid skis, benches with snowboard backs and even loveseats with ski backs.

If you have a pair of skis that you want to remember forever, Green Mountain will custom design a chair or table around them. If you have old skis taking up space in the basement, they will take donated warped, cracked, out of date snowboards or skis and make them into something new and original. This small Vermont company is serious about its recycling; they offset their energy usage, purchase locally, reuse bindings and ship items in recycled bike boxes. :: Green Mountain Ski Chair Via :: Hippyshopper

There's a house in a ski resort in Romania (Predeal) which has an entire fence made out of skis. It looks very funky.

I have a huge pile of skis in my garage I've been saving for this very reason, now I have the inspiration to do it!

These are really comfortable. The skis flex enough to act like a cushion. I've usually seen them with much higher backs so the points don't come anywhere near you.

I've seen old snowboards used as benches... and I've seen old skis with 6 shot glasses glued to them. So you and your friends can do a "ski shot".
