I could be mistaken; but, I don't recall The Ski being guaranteed for life. Also, Bobby Burns is building The Ski again in Sun Valley. My friend bought a pair and loves them, I won't ski with him anymore.
Name the brand of ski that was guaranteed For the life of the skier.

Which model of the later Stratos was the GS and which was the SL modelOriginally posted by InspectorGadget
The later grey, red & blue Stratos had long since lost their soul by the time you bought yours. Sorry.Mrs. Dougw- "I can see how one of your relatives could have been killed by an angry mob."

Wrong...the original comps predated Phil and Steve (at least their World Cup time)Originally posted by Tippster
Sorry, for some reason I was focusing on the CVComps, probably 'cause I had a pair.
I'd say it was the SL for Phil Mahre, but I'm probably wrong.
And the special thing about "The Ski" was it was "Guaranteed for Life." Too bad the company folded.Quando paramucho mi amore de felice carathon.

Until the very end when the Strato was a total POS, the Strato was always a combi ski. Smack in the middle of their SL & GS skis.A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Well , I will bow to your knowledge on the subject. I thought that the 550 was the GS and the 650 was the SL . But I was pretty young at the time.Originally posted by InspectorGadget

After drilling the skis, you insert a nail or an awl in the screw-holes. Spin it around to create a cone-shaped reservoir in the aluminum core - base of the cone near the base of the ski, tip of the cone at the screw-hole opening. Fill the holes with epoxy and install the bindings. Hang upside down until the epoxy cures.A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
