Downhill art: old skis used for chairs, jewelry and more

TUPPER LAKE — One skier’s trash is Anne Rast’s treasure. The artist from Lake Placid turns decommissioned skis, poles and snowboards into chairs, jewelry and household items. Her products are now on display for purchase at the Tupper Arts Center. She started building ski chairs in 2005 after seeing a crumbling ski chair while at Whiteface. “I said, ‘I can do better than that,’” Rast said. She used to collect skis from the North Elba Transfer Station, where people would dump their old pairs and employees would save them. Now, she has a donation rack at Green Goddess in Lake Placid. She estimates there are 500 pairs of skis at her home workshop, a garage that was supposed to hold a car.
