The Masterblaster "UPSTREAM" Alyse Dietel x J Collab Limited Edition 2026

Professional climber turned self-taught career artist Alyse Dietel and her incredible, intricate drawings of animals and nature were a perfect fit for collaboration. Alyse truly walks the talk, living van life, climbing rocks and documenting the beauty she sees along the way via a million tiny lines of pen on paper as a way of re-remembering the awe she experiences in nature. Alyse has only been a professional artist since 2012 after a gnarly climbing accident, it was through this experience that she was able to take a step back and live vicariously through illustrations of untamed wilderness and wildlife. The piece we chose for this ski is of a rainbow trout drawn by Alyse on the shore of Lake Tahoe. We knew we wanted to create another fish-themed graphic after so many skiers got stoked on the Hotshot "Trutta" last year, so when we saw the this unique drawing from Alyse we instantly knew we could turn it into a beautiful graphic. Our graphic designer, Fank, worked with Alyse to color her black and white original to capture the realistic pop you get seeing a shining rainbow trout in the wild.
