Love seeing the early stoke and so pumped for everyone to get on snow with them! Proof is always in the pudding, my hope hope is that folks are really impressed. They are exactly what I was personally after with them, which is immensely gratifying.
@Pinned - I would guess about 1/2 are TGR and 1/2 are friends and family, give or take? The numbers I shared on Blister remain about right. My view is that number of skis is about ideal. It ensures I roughly break even on mold costs, and can justify investing into some new molds for next season. My personal skis this year cost a touch more than everyone else's once all said and done, but whatever. From my perspective, sure there could be broader appeal, but that would tell me we aren't making weird/niche enough shapes! I'd love to actually pay myself for my time someday, since I am a consultant who bills for his time, but whatever. That isn't a requirement. I'd also rather sell fewer skis to people who want something specific than more skis that are homogenized and boring. Not sure that really answered your question, but I get these types of questions alot via email, and thought folks in this thread would appreciate a little more background.
