At Blister Summit 2023, we sat down with Meier’s Michelle Kidd & Parker Davis to discuss the brand’s origins and some of their latest and most popular ski models. We cover their sustainability efforts, including using bio-based resins, beetle-kill pine, and repurposing waste materials; the consequences of letting customers see exactly what’s in the cores of their skis via clear top sheets; creating skis that meet the demands of athletes like Owen Leeper while still catering to more average skiers, and more.
