• Born in a Funeral Parlor, Built in East Boston

  • It started with three ski racers, an old funeral parlor, and an obsession to build a better ski for the East Coast. We wanted a ski that could bite into boilerplate, dance through tight trees, and still float on those rare powder days. We couldn't find it, so we built it. 

    Today, we’re the largest ski manufacturer in New England, but the mission is the same: use the best materials and a hands-on process to build damn good skis for people who love to ski not just in New England, but all over the world.

  • Mark Wallace

    Co-Founder, Ski Designer

    Mark’s obsession started with a simple problem: the perfect East Coast ski didn’t exist. He wanted a ski that could lock into boilerplate, pivot through tight New England trees, and still float on those rare powder days. So, in 2009, he built it. That first pair sparked an initial run of 25 custom skis, and Parlor was born.

    Today, Mark leads all ski design, personally guiding customers through the fitting process to translate their on-snow feel into the perfect custom build. Under his leadership, Parlor has become the largest ski manufacturer in New England, a testament to the idea that the best ski is always the one built just for you.

  • Tyler Grees

    Owner, Factory Manager, Snowboard Designer

    Tyler’s influence is in every corner of our factory - from the precision of the boards themselves to the very workbenches they’re built on. The son of a collegiate ski coach who taught him to surf, Tyler was destined for a life on the snow, eventually finding his true passion in snowboarding.

    As our head snowboard designer and factory manager, Tyler combines a craftsman’s obsession for detail with a surfer’s eye for flow. He helps riders see the mountain as an endless wave, building boards that are intuitive, powerful, and ready to find hidden features everywhere. His hands-on approach ensures that every snowboard leaving the shop is a reflection of both the rider's vision and a meticulously run.
