Hit the slopes in style this season with a pair of custom-made skis from Skilogik. For just US$100, the Colorado-based ski manufacturer’s in-house artist will ornament your order with custom designs created from wood veneers and mother-of-pearl, all inlaid by hand. They’re beautiful enough to hang on your wall, but they’re equally at home on the piste or on backcountry powder—Skilogik’s line of high-performance skis has won a string of awards since the brand launched in 2010. –Chris Kirkpatrick
