    I skied them last year at alta for one run during the late march storm. Pretty big, i personally like 100-105 (squad) under foot so these where huge. Pretty limited use

    I skied them last spring. I thought I would hate them, but actually thought they skied really well. Plenty stiff, even for my 2x6 loving ass. Turned well, plenty of snap. I didn't get a chance to totally open up on them because we were on a 1st gully/ alley misson at the basin, but I think they would hold up to some speed. Seemed like some bomb proof construction. I can get in touch with the two designers fairly easily if anyone has some more questions.
    "Is it necessary to disdain the affluent Escalade driver in the ski area parking lot just because he never threw caution to the wind and gave up work, meat, and let his hair grow in the surreal international sojourn of powder skiing and self-actualiztion?"

    WELL OF COURSE, thats why I am me and you aren't

    That ad looks awful. BTW I think this is spam and not an actual inquiry.

    BIG HUCK is a straight up guy - I bought some skis from him this season, and they weren't Fat-ypuses.

    Can't say I dig the Fat-ypus name though - when I see it, I don't think of a hottie playing Doctor, I just get unpleasant visions of an obese chick with a huge, hairy, well...

    Yeah, look at the fucking labels on those skis too! Their name is "A-Lotta". Looks like a ski for powder 8 skiing kooks.

    You guys heard of a little Australian mammal called a platypus? Furry little river-dweller with a duck's bill and webbed feet, about 8" long. Like an Australian version of a beaver. I don't get the link to a ski though.

    I've gotta agree, that chick looks pretty skanky.

    Yeah, yeah, I'm well aware...


    In fact, those guys shoulda named the skis Platypus, since they're kinda platypus shaped - instead, you get Fat-ypus and an image of a huge gaping stanky skank.

    ... and whazzup with A-lotta? That just makes me think of the character from Austin Powers.
