The uncertain future of skiing in Scotland has inspired Jamie Kunka to make sustainable skis out of wood. Based in his cabin in the Scottish Highlands, Jamie is the last ski maker in Scotland.
Jamie began teaching himself how to make his wooden skis after watching a Vimeo Staff Pick by Wyatt Visuals about a wooden-surfboard maker in Vancouver Island, Canada. Ten years later, The Last Ski Maker in Scotland is part homage to this original film and part a celebration of the power of film to inspire us all.
Jamie is still the only ski-maker in Scotland.
