Clear Creek High School Students as they sharpen and tune skis and snowboards as part of Creek Craft, a student led business.  

Creek Craft, a Clear Creek High School student led business, was designed and built in collaboration between Entrepreneurship and Outdoor Rec and Tech students in the 2024-2025 school year with support from the CCSF and Loveland Ski Area. 

The business concept was ideated and tested by Maggie Gothman, Entrepreneurship student, class of 2026 and Asher Isaacson, Entrepreneurship student, class of 2025.  

Creek Craft Ski and Snowboard work is being continued in the 2025-2026 school year by students in the Outdoor Rec and Tech class, taught by educator Ben Shay.  Proceeds from Creek Crafts work go directly toward this class where students learn the tuning and sharpening process and ultimately have the opportunity to build their own snowboard or set of skis.
