Crew
Jordan Grano Founder / Principal Designer
The man that started it all…. In 2004 Jordan was convinced there had to be a better way to build skis that would last longer and be more suited to his needs. At 5’10” and 150lbs Jordan thought is was wrong that he would blow through a pair of skis each season. It was then that the dream of Folsom Customs began. After painstaking trials and rigorous testing, Jordan never wavered in his quest to raise the level of quality, durability and customization possible in ski manufacturing. He took no shortcuts to ensure the finished product would live up to his nearly impossible standards. With countless builds and years of in-depth field testing under his belt, he is still the most passionate and enthusiastic individual in the custom shop-and it is reflected in his skis. If you have the pleasure of talking skis with Jordan you’d better get comfortable because he will give you an ear full! Jordan can be contacted at jordan@folsomskis.com.
Mike McCabe Master Builder / Team Manager
Mike started on the Folsom Team as a ski tester and design consultant in 2006. Mike’s task was to demand performance and durability from each ski Folsom gave him. Mike has been skiing professionally for many years, and at 6’2” and 200lbs, he has a knack for blowing up mass-produced skis. He warms up on anything steep and riddled with cliff-bands across Colorado and is known to stomp double-back flips in the backcounrty. Mike pounded every ski he tested and they never failed to impress him both in durability and performance. In 2008, he decided to join Folsom full-time. A master builder in his own right, Mike currently works with Jordan in the Folsom Custom shop, testing and retesting, consuming energy drinks and brainstorming designs. The 191cm Giver shape is his brainchild. If you ever see him on the mountain you’d better be ready to rip the fall line hard. Mike can be contacted at mike@folsomskis.com.
