Chair From Recycled Skis
Give your old skis a new purpose in life by making a fancy chair out of used skis. Recycling used skis into a useful piece of art will be a constant reminder of the times you spent on the slopes. The technique is not that complicated if you have the right tools and a little imagination.

This article includes a step-by-step video on building your chair.  The final product is only limited by your creativity. Your design can incorporate used snowboards instead of skis.

If woodworking is not your cup of tea, there are companies who make furniture from used skis.  Among them are Vermont Ski Recyclers, Green Mountain Ski Furniture, SkiChair.com and The SnowSource General Store.  Prices start at around $300 for a ski chair with ottoman and can cost as much as $700 for loungers.
