Give those old skis the retirement they actually deserve.
The Complete OTWO Adirondack Ski Chair Build Guide walks you through building a rugged Adirondack-style chair using retired alpine skis and a sturdy wood frame. These aren’t generic internet plans dreamed up behind a desk—they’re based on chairs we actually build in our Southwest Montana shop.
Every set of retired skis is different. That is part of the fun—and occasionally part of the argument. This guide gives you repeatable frame measurements while showing you where to trust your eye and adjust the fit to the skis in front of you.

BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD MATERIALS
Retired skis were never designed to become furniture—and they certainly weren’t designed to match one another. Ski widths, shapes, graphics and tail profiles will vary.
The wood-frame measurements are repeatable. Ski spacing, armrest clearance and final seat fit are adjusted during the build. Perfectly imperfect is not a flaw around here. It is practically company policy.
IMPORTANT DOWNLOAD INFORMATION
This listing is for a DIGITAL PDF DOWNLOAD only.
No physical chair, lumber, skis, hardware or printed booklet will be shipped. You will receive the build guide to download, save and print on standard US letter-size paper.
Turn retired skis into the best seat in the house—and build something with a better story than anything coming out of a cardboard furniture box.
