    What everyone wanted to hear...Pro Bro Review!

    Ahhhhh yes the shaking anticipation when the package arrived at my door. Quickly mounted and off to Whistler to ski sweet death ice all day with super stiffy Bro Models.
    Well today should've been the kinda of conditions where one would criticize this ski, but I can find nothing to criticize it. Only immense praise!
    These super burly planks can arc turns with the best of them, you just have to work them and stay on top of them with a little more effort than I am used to. They held an awesome edge on steep ice, and the little bit of wind scoured softness I found in the backcountry they crushed like it was their calling in life. I hit some rocks, did some icy, rocky straightlines and the bases still look new out of the box.
    I am insanely stoked on these and can't wait to get them out on a soft day for charging and hucking!!!!
    Huge thanks to PM Gear and splat especially.
    Once some storms come our way the real reviews of vid clips will pop up on this board shortly

    Sounds like yet another happy PM Gear customer.

    Yet another tick in the box for the guys. Well done. It must be immensely satisfying to be seeing reviews like this after all the work that went into the BRO project this summer...
    Riding bikes, but not shredding pow...

    Whaddya weigh??

    When you say "super burly" and "you have to work to stay on top of them" it helps to know how many pounds your pushing.

    It pleases me very much to know that Atrain's avatar is actually him and that this guy is on Bros.

    Yep its me alright!
    Some things I realized today.
    Day two-Dust on crust. Maybe a few inches at most. These things are landing pads! Stomping with ease.
    They have no speed limit.
    As I continue to ski them I begin to learn more and more about them, and it leaves me with nothing but smiles.
    As far as weight, I weigh 155-160, but I gaurentee I'll be pushing those skis way harder than most.

    Jeezuz, dude, ain't it true?
    They unfold their characteristics like a rubic's cube - or a woman who is pleasantly suprising in satisfying little ways at the most unexpected of moments. It's like peeling back the layers, moving up a level in a video game. This is the one overwhelming thing I've said and heard echoed by everyone on them. That and, everytime you ask them to do more, they ask for more.
    And no, I'm not trying to sell skis. We're booked on orders and the Bros could become collector items if our production issues don't get sorted out. The glacial speed of production has been very hard on PM Gear, but we will fulfill our obligations to the believers that helped make the Bros possible.

    Are they worthy enough to compete on this year, Athan?

    Are you kidding? More than worthy. One day on rock hard ice and next day on dust on crust did plenty to confirm that notion. They will be at the Fernie and Lake Louise comps for sure and more if timing and money works out.

    The best part about all this is I haven't even had them in deep yet!
