Learn To Sew Pro-Quality Snow Pants From Scratch
How Anyone Can Learn To Make Their Own Snow Pants With No Experience

How It All Started For Me
I was a broke high-school ski-bum who wasn't good enough for a sponsorship and couldn't afford nice snow pants—not that there were many baggy options anyway. I'd dig so deep through every thrift store looking for baggy snow pants, but nothing was right. Anything I found either wasn't waterproof, had no pockets, or were just wack.
To me, anything was better than wearing skinny snow pants, but every outfit came with a trade-off—what had pockets, what was waterproof, or what would actually keep me warm
During COVID, I bought an $80 sewing machine on eBay and started trying to make fleece hats. I became obsessed. I ripped apart an old pair of snow pants, reverse-engineered them, and was committed to figuring it out. I was beyond stoked to get to making my own gear, but I couldn't get through a single seam without the machine jamming. Or I'd get to the end of a seam just to find out it wasn't even stitching anything. So many times, I remember punching my desk and yelling bad words over and over—like a New Yorker who just got cut off in traffic. I actually thought the machine was broken, and emailed the seller demanding a refund. Turns out, I was just threading it wrong. My first pairs were trash—16 hours of work, no pockets, & open ankle cuffs. Once I figured that out, things started to click—but it still took months before I felt confident.
*My first pair of snow pants lol.
I've now made nearly 1,000 pairs of snow pants from scratch—more than anyone else in the world, as far as I know. People started asking where I got my pants, then asking me to make them pairs. Over the years, I have turned into a psycho about making the best snow pants in the world.
Now, I can wake up on a pow day and choose exactly what I want to wear—pants that fit my style, match my riding, and have zero compromises. That's what this skill gives you: complete control over your gear, forever. This course is everything I learned the hard way, so you don't have to.

The Cost of Store Bought Gear
Think of this $197 as an investment into cheap snow pants for life.
The average skier spends $200+ on pants every season. Buy this course once, make pants for $25-$125 forever. You'll recoup the cost after your first pair and save thousands over your lifetime.
After ripping my modules and dialing the details, you’ll be a DAWG behind the sewing machine. Once you acquire this skillset, the price of the materials becomes the actual price of your pants.
You’ll only end up spending $25-$125 on materials, AKA your new “forever price” for pants.This course pays for itself after your first pair. After that? Pure savings, year after year.
The pants you’ll make with my teachings would cost you $500+ off the open market, given how much craftsmanship will go into them. Save yourself a lifetime of cash that’s better spent on lift tickets.
Plus, any of your pre-existing gear will now last forever. You'll not only be able to make pants from scratch, but also can repair / modify any of your favorite gear instead of having to throw it away.
