A Shot Ski starts with a ski. Go find an old ski with enough room to accommodate 4 adults. Then remove the bindings and clean it off. You're going to be drinking from it. Something about doing a Shot from a Ski makes all the cameras come out. We’re not entirely sure why. But the evidence is always appreciated. Fabric markers: These markers are specially designed to work on fabric and can help you create fine details or add shading to your designs. They come in a wide range of colors and tip sizes to suit your needs. Craftsmanship at Its Best: Our Shot Skis are handcrafted with love and precision, using top-quality materials that ensure durability and longevity.
Be sure to use stencils or tape to create clean, straight lines if needed. Allow the paint to dry completely before adding additional layers or details. Finally, add a clear coat to protect your design and give it a glossy finish. Install Additional Features Traditional Shot Ski Board: This is the classic style of shot ski board that most people think of. It’s a single ski with four or more shot glasses attached to it. It’s typically used for drinking games or social events with friends. Not true the shot ski was around in the 50s and 60s at mount hood according to my mother who did the shot ski with friends then.” [sic] Of course, even if Norway did invent skiing and après-ski, there was one thing missing: the shot glass. The OED cites “shot-glass” as first being mentioned in 1955 (though it also appears in the New York Times in 1951), but they’d begun popping up as brand promotional items a few decades prior. Take après-ski and the shot glass and toss in the Alps’ hardest drinking nation, and voila: the likely birthplace of the shotski.Embellishments: Adding beads, sequins, or other small decorations to your custom designs can take them to the next level. Experiment with different types of embellishments to create unique and eye-catching pieces.
We think the proper way to make a shot ski is with magnets. They're sleek, allow for rapid refilling of shot glasses, and are just plain cool. Others use velcro or silicone fasteners -- they don't work as well.

It all started with my dad's retro skis, a wedding, and memories of seasons working in the Alps.....
The process of making a shot ski board is relatively simple and can be done with just a few materials. In the next section, we’ll look at why you might want to make your own shot ski board and the tools and materials you’ll need to get started. History of the Shot Ski Board Draw the first X six inches from the tail of the ski, and the last X at the spot just before the tip of the ski curves up (you don't want to drink from an angle). Next, measure the distance between the two Xs, divide it by three and measure that distance inward from the outside Xs. Mark the final two Xs here, such that they are equal distance apart.

It uses magnets to fasten to shot glasses, which function surprisingly well in use. And as importantly, then create a perfectly smooth ski silhouette when it’s on display (other shot skis have ugly plastic showing). Finally, it’s laser-engraveable, for the perfect gift. Start with a rough cut. Cut the wood slightly larger than you need and then trim it down to the exact size. For a more wallet-friendly option, consider this Shot Ski from the American Gear company. It’s made from waterproof resin to last. And it has rubber grommets to fasten to shot glasses. In addition, it is completely customizable with your own artwork. Pulling out a shotski at a wedding or party is for sure an instant hit. You may have seen these and even participated with 3 others to down a shot of bourbon, whisky, or vodka. But if you don’t know what a shotski is, the origins came from using a discarded downhill ski and placing 4 shot glasses equal space apart so that 4 people can down a shot all at once. Determine the correct size of magnet to both mount shot glasses on the ski, and mount the ski on a wall for display
