Ore-Ida is taking its iconic crinkle-cut fries beyond the freezer aisle with the launch of 'Ore-Ida French Fry Skis,' a limited-edition collaboration with leading ski manufacturer Fischer Sports. Inspired by ski culture’s progression from the beginner “pizza” stance to confident parallel “French fry” skiing, the functional skis feature a bold crinkle-cut design, a golden fry-inspired finish, and ketchup-red accents.
The French Fry Skis will be available beginning February 1, 2026, for $250 per pair through Amazon and select specialty retailers in Oregon and Idaho, including Mountain Shop and PK’s Skis and Sports, while supplies last. To support the launch, Ore-Ida will activate at X Games 2026 in Aspen Snowmass from January 23–25, offering attendees the opportunity to demo the skis and engage with the brand both on and off the slopes.
