Phenomenal post, that build is badass!! Super jealous I've never been able to go to Keith's shop, and even more jealous I've never made it the bar... unless I did before he was there??? Hell idk, I do know that is not a top sheet I would've ever picked from online pics but those are G D Gorgeous!Quote:

Will you bring a second ski? GPO + protest is an excellent two ski Japan worthy pair.Quote:

Unfortunately they’re in truckee and I’m in Sacto... next time I’m up I’ll try and weigh and get a better pic
You should send them to me for proper disposal.

Actually just curious why you don't think they'll work for you. A skinny Q sounds like , depending on layup, could be a quiver killa for either on hill or touring for some
Yup, don't chance that shit, and trust me these other clowns won't get it either. I'm Jong enough to embrace the hype and I'll pay to ship em to me... they'll be great leaning on the bar next to me, I love a good convo pieceQuote:

That being said I was thinking the concept could be a good candidate for an assym treatmentQuote:

It's great that there is a good mix of them out there now. A variety of layups and standard and skinny widths. All the feedback should give a good indication on how rad they actually are, for those of us who couldn't pull the trigger and are completely envious. Can't wait to hear your shakedownQuote:

Im going to take them to Mammoth mid-November. I barely put any scratches on my skis last opening weekend at Mammoth, hopefully thats the case this year, so I’ll be able to get a feel for them while keeping them Minty.

Thought a lot about that, never could figure out how Keith could match the camber profile though? Although I'm obviously not the evil magician he is, so....Quote:
