No, I've yet to experience the magic that is Boston Mills.

I was going for Fo as in Faux as opposed to Shizzle.

Gotcha.

The french would have been over our heads, anyway. We don't like words that end in x.

**splat** · 03-23-2005, 10:03 AM

Yeah, like sex.

**Cornholio** · 03-23-2005, 10:06 AM

See? I hate that one. And "box."

**Cornholio** · 03-23-2005, 10:09 AM

I do like the word "minx," though.

**splat** · 03-23-2005, 10:10 AM

Jinx. That one sucks.

I just got back from 6 days in UT on Monday. The BROs shipped to my hotel on Friday (thanks to Splat and his phone tenacity). So I finally got to ski them Saturday and Sunday. I was so lucky that we got a huge dump on Sunday to really ski them in the powder. I'm a midwestern maggot so I’ve got very limited experience to true powder days, but these things totally rocked the pow!!! Splat told me to ski them anywhere like I was on a race course and I did. I ran them through moguls, steeps, crud, anything I could find and they are flawless. I can honestly say there’s nothing I wish these skis could do better.
I got questions from a dozen people easily on Saturday. Mostly along the lines of “those things are huge, how can you ski on them?” “Aren’t they too long for you?” “Aren't they powder skis?” etc. The smile on my face probably told them they were wrong, but in case it didn't, I just said “they do everything - well”.

Again, my extreme gratitude to Splat for keeping on top of the shipper and getting them in my hands.

Semi-off-topic here, but as BobMc noted at Deer Valley, I also noticed at Brighton on Sunday that almost everyone was in the cafeteria or base lodge the entire day. The ski racks outside the buildings were full while on the hill it seemed almost empty. There was a foot of fresh powder out there - WTF? My only guess is that most "touristy" skiers find it very difficult to snowplow through a foot of powder. In fact, the green groomers were less cut up than the blacks and double blacks. Being a midwestern JONG, I don't have much experience with "powder days", but does this generally hold true?

A little girl said something interesting to me not long ago. She said "Either those skis are really old, or they're really new." Not sure what that means, but I like it. The Bros are timeless.

As the owner, it's good you get so many questions about your ski, because it creates some buzz about them, this can ultimately lead to more customers don't you think?

True. But the only customers we're concerned about right now are the ones that live right here. Picking up ten pair today that will close the order filling gap to about eight other pair to satisfy all orders. Then we'll have another ten pair available for new orders.
And I can collapse.

My nightmare has just been realized. Thinking there would be no mo bros til next year, I just purchased a pair of B2s (got a great end of season price). How the fuck can I explain another pair of new skis to my wife?

Better skiing makes for better sex.

**Buster Highmen** · 03-23-2005, 04:29 PM

I hope to be the counterexample.

**Telenater** · 03-23-2005, 05:25 PM

Soooo Eager for them...... I'm almost down to one pair of operational skis.... (the 4x4 Bigs mounted alpine). The Teledaddies are being coddled so that they make it to and back from Pear Lake Hut.

I met a dude named Seth on Bros at Snowbird yesterday. Cool guy, cool skies.

One more youngin' and you will epitomize the plight of the Bro-less.

I'm not making funny intentionally, BustedBro. Your skis are done Sunday, I was just told. Today's batch was almost all softs.
