Skevik Ski 🇨🇦
Skevik Skis’ beginnings can be traced to a residential Vernon, British Columbia garage. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson’s garage, to be precise. The Anderson’s sons, Gregg and Glenn, are life-long skiers, growing up on the slopes of Silver Star Mountain Resort, just up the hillside from their northern Okanagan community. It was here where a love for skiing was fostered and nurtured. It was the garage where their curiosities, ingenuity, entrepreneurial spirit and good old fashioned book smarts spawned the quickly maturing ski manufacturer that is Skevik Skis.
