We'll have to do that loveland project later in the season.



No need to mount them any more forward skiergirl, it's a good place.

Thanks for the info. Can't wait!

These are some of the coolest looking skis I've seen in a long time:

Thanks for the writeup Mir. Great read.

The experience as a whole looks pretty sweet.

What a great TR!
Thanks for sharing the information and inspiration.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing the whole process. It's cool to learn stuff like that!

I will have bros by next season:)

Thank you for taking the time to post this TR SheRa,

Those ski are very cool and very special, but you more than earned them.

I'm just trying to clarify who is who, it helps following along on these TR's.

I'm one of the co-founders and owners of PM Gear. Since we've been operating, I've been responsible for developing our websites and online shopping systems -- we've had 3 or 4 versions now, the first several I made myself. I supervised the development of our current website, but the actual design work was done by Artisan. I also maintain the PM Gear message board, which is the company's primary means of internal communication.

Splat does most of the real work - I'm just an enabler :)

In my real job I'm a research psychologist.

:yourock:

Awesome ... very cool TR ! ! !

Looks like Christmas came early for you, from the looks of your smile.....:biggrin:

heh! heh! heh! keep on rocking girl--------keep on rocking.
thanks

Shera- Beautiful skis and a great write up. Thank you

Things have a way of working out.

I'm so glad everything turned out well for you, SheRa! Your TR was awesome!! :)

very cool indeed

Great report SheRa...inspirational! Thanks for sharing. :)

Hey, I'm good w/ power tools...need a shop assistant to crank out a few more pairs? I'm offering!
:D
Sprite

Awesome Shera! Those look bad-ass! Too bad I can't use mine, because it doesn't snow in Nevada anymore. That's why I finally washed all the salt and sand grime off of my truck yesterday.

I'm offering to be Sprite's assistant

Thanks for the TR. Those skis are badass. It was really nice to see the entire process. Also glad everything worked out for you after the theft of your old skis.

Skiergirl, you will love your 179 softs. I skied mine for the first time last weekend and was amazed. I don't know what you are skiing now but but two things I noticed immediately (cmpared to my Atomic m 10's) were the very light weight and absolutly no chatter.

Simply inspirational, the bar has been destroyed.

Those are some awesome-looking skis. It's pretty cool to hear the details about how they're made, too. Nice!

Very cool, very cool indeed.

peace,
D.

Yes, indeedy. Especially when you're involved.

Thanks for the props everybody. I spend all my daydreaming time now planning and plotting 14er tours, most especially the Elks.

Splat took the words right out of my mouth.

This was a great read and the pix were worth more'n 2000 words.

SheRa, I take it you went with the "manly" 188's, eh?

Now I am even more intrigued by these skis...
