Fun Fact: The inspiration for starting Spyder was a race sweater won in a poker game in Argentina.

We believe that skiing is an instinct. The fusion of a predator’s psyche and an artist’s rhythm. A sense from the very beginning that down is fun, and down fast is addictive. This instinct pushes us to the edge of control, and beckons us to white and cold, powder and ice, to find a line and attack it with strength and style. We’re driven by the relentless hunt for originality as we define modern mountain style. It is our bloodline and our legacy, and we seek to instill our passion in all who share the instinct to innovate. We are Spyder. We live and breathe skiing.
