“You don’t want to throw your old skis into a landfill.That’s a bummer. The goodwill places would have to have a compactor come because most places don’t buy used skis anyway, so it’s kind of like a really good way to recycle.” 

This is Manitou Springs artist, Peri Duncan’s workshop that transforms old skis into usable art.  Peri repurposes up to 200 pairs of skis a week and can turn old skis into chairs, benches, tables, even cornhole sets in as little as eight hours, giving a second life to some of our favorite possessions.  There’s a great article The Denver Post wrote about Peri’s operation you can read HERE.

REMEMBER RECYLCING IS ONLY PART OF THE EQUATION:
