v2 is all that and a bag of chips. No changes for 2026 or well... really envisioned anytime in the future, lol

[Marshal Olson]

All very valid! I’m with you about that importance 100%. I’d add that Blister does a very good job IMO at discussing the importance on much of this too.

Can’t really speak to other brands, and not about me at all (other than being tagged in The OP!) but I am totally down to go as...

Full collection releases Tuesday. Here is the sneak peak on the next HB122 top....

Digesting! I think I am stuck on the idea of charging more NOT to own something. I just don't see that as a viable concept commercially. For example, leasing a car is less than buying one outright, and they throw in oil changes and tire rotations. Renting a home is less than buying one, and you get...

yes, iriponsnow and my daughter are actually testing it. It chips kinda easily based on my daugter's testing (cap ski). Not sure how it is holding up for irip so far. we are using the most durable automotive vinyl wrap on the market....

frorider - I have actually thought a lot about this alot and written business plans to flush in the idea. my main conclusion is that there are better ways to accomplish the same thing... ie, the cost of shipping and the logistics of various binding standards/accumulation of holes in skis make it challenging...

After a few days on the Hb122v2 -- I am here to say I really, truly believe it's perfect for my needs as an inbounds soft snow storm day ski. I absolutely loved the v1. It was the most eye-opening and surprising ski of my life. And the v2 does everything better without any tradeoffs that I have noticed....

100% with you ZZZ - I’d say at your size, ski preference, and mtn, 186 Am110 is for sure a great call!

(noting, I planning to rename the mid-length size to 186 for next season simply because it is 185.75cm straight tape and it feels more accurate - exact same ski!)

[Marshal Olson]

Yo man!

I’d def lean 180, but before I lock in my final answer; remind me what your home mountain is again?

There is only two ways to do things: The right way and the wrong way. My hope is that everyone I work with along the way believes that things are done the right way!...

One additional consideration - I just received a sales tax invoice in the mail from the state of Utah for an international order that included penalties and fees “for failure to self report”. Apparently, the US Customs is now sharing imports that are not classified as "for resale" with...

Tuesday’s email will be right up your alley ...

Been spending time on my fl105v2 as well. Absolutely loving them.

It’s like skiing on a dirt bike. When in doubt, give em a little gas, trust the suspension, and rip the inside line. So fun.

Hi fleaches

so to take a quick to a quick step back, it sounds like you have a great tune for a conventionally cambered ski - detuned at the contact point in the tips, more aggressive bevels in the camber section under foot where there is generally less edge pressure.

For a...

[Marshal Olson]

Oh shoot man. So sorry to read this. Happy to get them listed on the HL outlet too, if helpful

[Marshal Olson]

consider sharpening the side edge and leave a very slight hanging burr under foot and only de-burr tip/tail. It’ll give the ski a bit extra bite, but won’t hang up too much when off edge/unweighted on hard snow. While it will ski off with some time, it should help make for a little extra predictability...

[Marshal Olson]

hey you bet and thanks. It could be best to submit a ski fitting form so we can dig into more details, but generally….

With the reverse camber skis, I would say they are unapologetically niche. Some folks can ski them most days, but those folks already have extended histories with reverse...

The FR110, R110, and AM110 all share the same footprint (ie, same tip/waist/tail + sidecut). They vary by rocker profile and build. The FR110 and R110 have both seen a number of pressings over the years and are currently on hiatus (though I have 1-2 extra 187 R110 coming in a month-ish), and have a...
