We have been working with a few mags here on the ECRC on a new design for a backcountry twin, Worth-style. More forward mount point than the Humpback, shorter turn radius, less taper, longer tail rocker, and stiffer underfoot.

Like our other models, though, it uses our classic shark-y tip, and more tip-tail taper than other similar skis. Like the others available now, this will be a Praxis-built model.

To test this out, we are offering a few folks the opportunity to pick it up at our build cost, in order to get feedback on the shape. The shape was specifically developed with input from ECRC mags, with mountains like Magic in mind. Ergo, behold.........

The Magic

PM me for details.

Stoked on this ski! Might have to sell the baconators to make it happen though, anybody interested in them?

Congrats. Parenthood is awesome. And it does get better . . . when they start to ski!!! My 28 month old got his first day in yesterday. It was only in front of the house by the sidewalk, but he did slide down the "steeps" from the front yard area to the rock driveway.

MBB - I have a kid's ski shape ready to roll. When I figure out how we can build it at a low enough cost, I know who my first tester will be... :-)

To those interested in the Magic, it will also be piloting our new dual-carbon layup. Our previous carbon builds used the carbon under the wood core. The new dual-carbon layup will have carbon both bottom and top- POP! Looking at a delivery around first week of January, due to the time required to build the mold.

Those I would like to ski! Available in all your models? Demos?

**Moeghoul** · 11-09-2012, 01:29 PM

Sounds like a sick design, and all the best to the Worth crew. Hope you guys have a successful season. I'm too broke right now to justify another pair of skis. Just mailed out property tax checks. Maybe in the new year.

We will start offering the dual-carbon as an upgrade option with the DB, HB and George as well going forward. I have had enough takers to go ahead with production on the Magic, it is officially a "go" !!!!! Not sure just yet if we will have a demo in this ski on this run, but w will post updates as things progress.

So's teh POW's starting to fall? Or just his cover?

**JerseyDave** · 11-09-2012, 02:39 PM

Wait, not tryin to hate here, but you named a backcountry ski after a lift served ski area? Should it be called something that conjours up images of a more remote location?

Skinned Stowe today. Ouch. Shoulda rode the bike again, but it was nice to slide. I'd say let it snow, but with the warm up, I'm thinking steelhead for next week.

**icelanticskier** · 11-09-2012, 02:39 PM

^^^^pretty awesome!

maybe i'll go start a TR about him in the padded room!

"Backcountry twin" is more a category, not a limitation. It generally refers to wider non-park twins, that are jib-friendly, but for natural terrain and features. And tossing carcasses off natural terrain features is, so I hear, occasionally commonplace at Magic. Besides, when we name a ski, it is generally inspired by a mountain and it's "soul", if you will. For example, when I ski my Humpbacks and Georges at the Snow Bowl...haven't yet had either on their namesake...they sure do a great job there.

Well it was a ski that was intended to be very playful, lively, agile and still stable at speed. It was designed for terrrain like Magic's, but competent touring ability was also an important characteristic to everyone giving input.

Also, Magic is pretty remote. Just try getting gas after 7pm if you don't believe me

Ah. Not up with the new school lingo. The fact that they are a carbon ski would make sense as a BC ski. Are you using the same construction methods DPS use?Do you find Carbon holds up as a lift served ski? I'm imagining AT would be the binding of choice?

**FiddleTilDeath** · 11-09-2012, 03:08 PM

high octane turns in Brighton the other night

Skied my carbon georges a bunch in bounds last year (would've preferred to ski 'em more oob, but....), with barons and I love 'em. planning on getting another pair of carbon somethings this year and putting some dynafiddles on 'em, but we'll see...
