541 was born out of love of skiing and a desire to create something special. Owner, designer and ski builder Jesse Scroggins, was raised in ski racing roots which attributes his desire to charge the mountain full tilt. In search for a ski to live up to the expectations as an “all mountain” one-quiver ski, he was consistently left disappointed. So, while discussing this dilemma with Brad Duffy, former ski racer, board sport designer/ engineer and friend, Jesse and Brad started 541 Skis using the original designs developed by Brad. 541 Skis have gone through some revisions over the years, but every design is built, tested and proven on the year-round slopes of Mt. Hood, Oregon by the owners. If we don’t like it, we don’t sell it! 541 skis won’t let you down.
