Friends,
Come on out to the Crested Butte Center for the Arts on February 6th and check out this great fundraising event with ROMP skis and 11 other artists. This is a ski and art exhibition supporting local nonprofit organizations like ours.

SEND IT!! 🎿
We’re stoked to team up with ROMP and 11 artists to bring a Ski Art Exhibition to the Center. ROMP will debut new ski shapes and showcase artist-designed custom skis on display throughout the space.

Each artist has chosen a nonprofit to receive a portion of the proceeds. Plus, enjoy drink specials, a live DJ, flash tattoos, and ski films all night long.
