While we’re firmly of the opinion that you probably shouldn’t buy your skis based on the top sheet alone, there’s a lot to be said for good ski graphics. Despite being fairly niche itself, ski culture has all of these funny sub-sectors that allow for collaborations or simply just slapping your favorite food on your favorite sticks. Luckily, many ski makers agree and have created great collaborations and limited-edition skis over the years.
Companies like Atomic, Volkl, and of course, J Skis have put everything from beer to hot dogs to luxury brands and the Grateful Dead’s iconography on ski top sheets over the years. Here are a few of the most clever, wackiest, and just plain cool ski collabs we’ve seen in recent years.

Fischer x Ore-Ida French Fry Skis
In 2026, Austrian ski company Fischer Skis released a limited edition ski in collaboration with Ore-Ida. Yes, that Ore-Ida, the frozen French fry company that makes the fry everyone pictures when you say “crinkle cut.” It’s such an obvious play on the ski term “to French fry” that it’s almost clever and novel.
The skis themselves are the Fischer Ranger 90, a reliable, all-mountain ski, which is pretty perfect to slap the most reliable, all-around French fry on. The skis were sold for just $250 at select retailers in Oregon, Idaho, and online. While they’re now sold out, we found a pair for 600 bucks on eBay.
Atomic Bent 110 Grateful Dead 60th Anniversary
The Grateful Dead 60th Anniversary edition of Atomic’s Bent 110 ski isn’t the first Grateful Dead ski for the brand (or any other brand) to release, nor was it even the first limited edition version of this particular ski.
In this case, the Grateful Dead commissioned Chris Benchetler to create the artwork for their 60th Anniversary merch, and it just happened to be released in line with his film featuring the band’s music, Mountains of the Moon, in 2025.
While the Bent 110s are some of the most popular skis around, this pair in particular has a pretty sweet topsheet and an even cooler base graphic that might lead some folks (me, it’s me) to treat them more like a piece of art than mount them up. After all, you never know when the Grateful Dead will finally stop being so synonymous with ski culture… (never, duh).
Supreme/Volkl
Supreme x Völkl
When it comes to slapping a designer label on something and calling it “art” or “fashion,” nearly no one does it better than Supreme. In December of 2025, the brand launched a pair of skis with Völkl after dabbling in the ski space via collabs with the North Face and Backcountry Access.
While Völkl makes some excellent skis, true to the mystery behind Supreme’s success, neither brand actually ever specified what model of ski the limited edition run was. Instead, the description of the skis was just “versatile all-mountain freestyle skis with custom logo application. Multilayer beech and poplar wood core with directional twin tip shape and camber underfoot.”
Like many Supreme products, the skis sold out almost immediately, but could quickly be found for resale, sometimes at the cool price of $2,000, nearly $1,500 more than retail. The price has dipped down to around $800 if statement pieces are your thing.

Hermès Skis
The luxury brand behind the Birkin bag has applied all that craftsmanship they hang their hats (and $13,500 hand bags) on to skis. The skis are labeled as an “Off Piste pair of alpine skis,” although the shape looks far more like something you would want to use on-piste. Reportedly, the ski was made from ash wood and has a “red shovel” and “firm waist.” “As this ski offers stability for high speed and large curves, it is also perfect for leisure activities or a further sporting practice,” reads the product description.
We’re not really sure what further sporting practice you’d partake in with a pair of alpine skis, but for a price tag of $19,400, hopefully you’d be able to find something.
J Skis
J Skis x Bob Ross
Perhaps the industry leader of weird, cool, limited-edition, collab top sheets, Jason Levinthal’s brand, J Skis, jumped at the chance to make top sheet art inspired by one of the most beloved artists of all time: Bob Ross. What better way to pay homage to the man who made his career on happy little trees and soothing nature imagery than by taking him with you as you cruise down a mountainside full of happy little trees and nature?
The ski itself was the J Skis Allplay, their flagship model for the brand’s early years. A 98mm underfoot all-mountain ski with a Maple core, fiberglass laminates to strengthen the ski while keeping it playful, carbon fiber stringers for dampening, and just a touch of camber, the Bob Ross Allplay was sure to put a smile on your face in soft snow about as fast as a Bob Ross video. J only released 450 pairs of these, and you betcha they sold out fast. Lucky for you, another model just hit J Skis’ digital storefront, this time with the Masterblaster chassis.
PBR x RMU
Few things scream “ski bum” more than the beverage of choice (you know, aside from Rainier, or Montucky Cold Snacks, or Coors Banquet, depending where you’re from) for so many skids out there: Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.
Most recently, PBR teamed up with RMU skis to release a limited edition topsheet on the RMU Apostle 106. You could say that given RMU’s own propensity for beer (if you’ve never stopped by one of their bars, you’re missing out!), it’s a match made in heaven. While these aren’t the first PBR-themed skis to come out, the topsheet works a little harder than the classic PBR logo, in a good way. Paired with the energy of RMU’s hard-charging Apostle 106, this is by far one of the cooler ski collabs we’ve seen.
J Skis
J Skis x Cobra Dogs
J Skis strikes again, but this time with the cult-followed Oregon tube-steak slingers, Cobra Dogs. The food truck started in Government Camp, at the base of Mt. Hood, but has also been known to hang out in Bend, Portland, and elsewhere, and their 1/4 lb beef dawgs and toppings are seriously tasty. Despite the fact that it was started by a snowboarder, J Skis figured the dogs would also look pretty nice on a pair of Joyride ski bases. Not much says “let’s go park skiing” like slamming a 1/4 lb glizzy first, after all. Only 100 pairs of the Dogger Joyrides were made, and they definitely sold out.
