Near the end of the interview I get the impression Mazz loves building skis even more than I like skiing. The struggles of a small ski manufacturer were and continue to be worth the effort. After officially launching in January of 2010, Ski Logik won ski test awards from Freeskier Magazine and Realskiers.com, and the company continues to build an excited following.

Word of the collective stoke about Ski Logik has trickled across the Pacific to Mazz, and it only has him more fired up to build skis. “I rely a lot on input from skiers. Ski Logik is not just me, it’s a community,” he says, indicative of his philosophy and passion. “Now, looking back, I’m really proud of the product, when really it was crazy. I just love being able to make great skis, then make great skis better.” --Kevin Luby
