What:
Our snowboards are proudly built from scratch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We use Maple, Ash as well as Fur in our cores and sidewalls, all milled in-house. From swallowtails and powder pigs to ginsu carvers and short multi-rocker twins, we can shape anything you can dream of. Who:
Mikey Franco,Tai Williams, Don Watkins, Patrick Shehan and many more who have contributed in the past, present and
the future. Why:
Our goal is to cater to a broad spectrum of passionate snowboarders who want more than just this years hot graphics and gimmicky additions. From the weekend warrior to the 150 day'er. If your passion is to ride, then ride something built with passion. How:
I have spent my life studying what it takes to teach someone how to ride. And with this experience, I have paid close attention to what it takes to make a rider light up when they are on the right board. It is with this experience that we set out to create snowboards that you will cherish for life.
It’s time. I’m taking a break from Facebook. I have to focus up. One platform is enough for me. If you want to get in touch, you can DM me on Instagram, text me, or email me.
I’m not deleting FB, just choosing to look away for a while. Love ya!

Three years in the making.
Solid aluminum sidewall, titanal and copper inlay topsheet. Milling, profiling, etching, dragknifing, bonding and patina all posed very challenging obstacles! This board is for sure.

10 years today. This woman has stood by my side, never doubting me when I doubted myself. She is my rock when I need her and my rose that eases my day. And I love her more than snowboarding. Like a lot more than snowboarding 😁😁
To the next decade!

Someday, she'll rip this board.
Franco Experience #5 in the books at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Coaching Bryan AND designing his board while we ride is the intersection of the two things I love to do most. Feeling grateful 🙏
Exactly 1 year ago today life in Jackson Hole came to a halt. I have made one board since that time. Having moved out of the Maiden Ski Crafting space shortly after the shutdown, we have been grinding our fingers to the bone, building a new factory from what was a vacant field last June..
Today, it all came together. We finally made our first board in the new space. A test board, to shake out the cobwebs, test the mechanical,, electrical and pneumatic systems (built by the master )as well as run through all the steps it takes to build a board. Sure there are some cosmetic issues that can be cleaned up but the press, electrical and everything in between worked as designed. What a f@ relief.
None of this could have happened without the help of so many people. From partners and investors, to friends and family, and contractors and volunteers. It took an army. Special thanks goes out to for whom I owe so much gratitude. Both for his energy and his passion not to mention his patience and his faith in me. And if it were not for my wife, none of this would have occurred. She pushed me, trusted me and believes in me. That is what drives me.
A big thanks to Brent, Magilla, Ryan, Chris, John, Matty D, Mark Rector and Fox. Thank you for holding down the fort while we built the dream.
To Ryan and the crew at , Ryan and his crew at Mathews Plumbing, Ben and his crew at Steel Vision, , Craig Olson, , , Eric Spitzer and many more.
A big thanks goes to Kelvin Wu of Maiden Skis for your inspiration, knowledge and encouragement to take it to the next level.
An even bigger thank you to , and for taking me under your wings and teaching me. This was one of the most important events in my life, leading to this very board, in my own space. 🙏🙏
Lastly, thank you to my partners and investors. Your belief in me and what we do is a true blessing and I am eternally grateful. We are about to take it to 11....
And finally, thank you Rich Aveni. You made the build out possible.
Time to get to work.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Mesmerizing. Snowing heavily in Jackson Hole. It would seem that this season is a wrap. At least the lift service part. It makes sense. We are in this together. Take care of one another.
