The smell of ski wax and cold kombucha mingled at Base Lodge Ski & Cycle on North 7th Friday evening, where a new exhibit transforms broken bindings and snapped poles into wall-mounted assemblages. Artist Mara Lindstrom collected the materials from the shop’s discard pile over six months, sorting by color and fracture pattern.

“I kept thinking about how much energy goes into a single ski day,” Lindstrom said, adjusting a sculpture titled “Powder Day Regret” made from twelve shattered pole tips. “The drive up, the layers, the lunch you packed that froze in the car. All that intention, and then one rock ends your season.”
