The amount of snow and ice buildup in that pocketed top along with the hassle trying to remove it will leave a lasting memory in the minds of people buying these skis.

None of my dentist drills are made of aluminum, and I cannot recall seeing anything ever that was designed to hold an edge made of aluminum.
There’s a reason you don’t see many aluminum knife blades.Quote:

maybe it gots screwed on hard metal edges? back to the future!
Back on topic because aluminum skis are as stupid as it gets (f they ever actually make skis I give them a year before they go under). Skied a my new Peak 88's for the past couple of days at Jackson (currently the land of no-snow groomers only, including a few laps with the 5 million foot man ). In short I loved them, full on hard snow rippers that showed me no speed limit and never balked at any turn I wanted to make. The rest of this story is sad to say the least. Probably should hoard a few pair of the 88's but really who wants to commit to groomer's that hard.

Peak partners w Lambo to order snowboards from Elan.
You'll probably be able to get the Peak 88s for $250 soon enough.Quote:

I haven’t paid close attention to these but pretty sure they’re monoblock aluminum & they spin that as essentially infinite amount of material to sharpen. lol.Quote:

Yeah, I always go into real estate offices to look at skis.
Do they have a bridge to sell?
"Peak Enhanced Custom Branding"

Obviously they should have started with strategic partnerships with dentists
unreal. bravo, andy and bode. venturing into uncharted waters of ski brand retardation. truly a seminal moment in the evolution of the industry.
While this seems really stupid and bourgeoisie to anyone here, it's really not a bad marketing ploy if your customer base is high-end monied people who spend a week or two at high-end resorts looking for a unique ski experience. Having said that, I don't think anyone here is subject to this ploy unless we have a bunch of hedge fund managers lurking. This will also likely be featured at Vail and other related resorts that parlay themselves to the Texas crowd. I'll stick with my Dynastars, thank you.
Ain’t got my ‘readers’ anyone want t give me a one sentence summary?
This was similar to what I was going to post. It doesn't do anything for me, but there are lots of people who were just walking around Aspen that it would do something for, and they may actually by these people's skis.Quote:

Be more like hoji than bode.
Sounds like it's as much bout selling a ski day to Bode jock sniffers than the skis. If I had the money I'd buy a curated day with Bode and a pair of Peak enhanced branded skis so I could have the chance to slap that clownshow upside the head.

No mention of any sort of financial contribution to the non-profit. So this is just raising awareness for the non-profit by selling their skis to dentists? Stolen powder.
Buddy worked for that Org. for 2 years. He calls it out as a scam and went back to patrolling.
But you also get a hat.Quote:

^^^ I see them a lot on the hill at Big Sky. Not one person riding them says they are meh. Reviews are pretty favorable and dang near every user is a very solid skier.
