With each coming season, a new crop of upstart independent ski companies emerges. A few make it for the long haul - namely, Armada and 4FRNT, while others are quick to burn out. One company debuting this year is Folsom Custom Skis. Based out of Boulder, Colorado, Folsom offers handmade skis with input directly from the consumer. Folsom is going public after spending the last four years developing and testing their skis. Photos by Andy Patchin
