Whoa, cool.
Question 1: Can they handle Big Jim's?

What's the story on these skis? I never heard of them until this thread. I guess I don't look at Tech Talk much.

Or 916s mounted for a 327mm boot sole would suffice also...or was it 339...hmmm...since I can't remember just send them to me."I knew in an instant that the three dollars I had spent on wine would not go to waste."

Fuck, I'm not going to be able to get these mounted until next week I think...which is a bummer because this week at Kirkwood could be epic with another killer Friday storm rolling in (hopefully).
Anyway, all good things must wait....I feel like taking these with me on my quick trip to Houston today just so I can stare at them in my hotel room

You guys can come up with all the funny shapes you want but at the end of the day they will still be skis.
The true progression of your sport will be when you all realize that nothing surfs the powder like a snowboard.
Just playin of course Ty. Congrats on the new sticks.
