Pete Wagner was creating software to design and fit golf equipment in 2000 when he decided to take this knowledge and apply it to his true passion: skiing. After realizing that he was "crippling" himself on skis that were too stiff and demanding, he began to design his own. Production started down valley from Telluride at a small shop in Placerville and eventually moved into the center of the ski resort in 2016 where the shop is currently located in Mountain Village.
