Da UP holds a special meaning to anyone who’s lived, visited, explored, or passed through. Get your Yooper on with this new release of the red/black buffalo plaid "Da Ski"! The graphic says it all; plaid, chainsaw, transparent areas to see the core, and of course - da UP, eh. What more could you need?
Four years ago, we released our first "Da Ski" graphic and it sold out in a month, so this time, don't miss out! Each ski model and length has a very limited amount of builds and when each is sold out - they're gone!
- Limited Edition Plaid topsheet includes red/black buffalo plaid, a chainsaw, and da Upper Peninsula.
- Clearview core graphic shows the hardwood core through the red middle section of the skis.
- 1 of 75 to ever be built! Each model/length quantity is already set, some combinations only have 2 pair available.
- Available on Ahmeek 95/105/115 to suit your unique skiing style.
Construction
Proudly Made in USA
Core
Laminated ash/poplar hardwood: Long grain premium white ash and tulip poplar is hand-selected and cut into full-length strips. Strips are individually flex indexed and laminated together symmetrically. Each laminated core is CNC milled to a precise thickness profile developed for each model and length.
Composites
Unidirectional carbon fiber strips along the core, lightweight triaxial fiberglass above and beneath the core, fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock-solid bonding.
Sidewall
Full-height urethane - bombproof and double-chamfered for reduced swing weight. A rounded mini-cap top edge rolls over the sidewall to protect your topsheets.
Topsheet
Clearview gloss nylon with sublimated graphics and transparent windows to the core of the ski.
Base + Edge
1.4 mm CNC knife-cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm oversized and heat-treated edges take a beating.

Ski FAQ
What snow conditions are they made for?
Are they right for me?
The limited edition plaid Da Ski ski graphic is available on our best selling Ahmeek 95/Ahmeek 105/Ahmeek 115 ski models. If you're unsure about which model is right for you, just give us a call at 231-459-4323 or email ${email} for help!
What length should I get?
Each model in our ski line has unique characteristics - please visit each individual ski model page for more info or .
What bindings should I get?
You can use any binding on these limited edition skis. The binding brake width must be at least as wide as the waist width of your selected ski model. For example, the Ahmeek 105s require a brake width is at least 105mm wide. We run Marker Griffon bindings on our demo skis. Visit your local ski shop for bindings and mounting.
What are Camber Pockets?
Camber Pockets are additional small sections of camber (about 4 in long and 0.030" tall) molded into the overall camber of the ski in front of and behind your midsole position. They increase contact pressure to improve grip on hardpack and ice.
Are they tuned and waxed?
Skis come tuned with a 1° base edge bevel and a 2° side edge bevel and a slight tip/tail detune. The skis are waxed with a universal temperature wax to get you going.
