All skis will ship w suspension binding welded onto ski. Also a ski tote from 1987.

woah the fucking retarded ski technology landscape is heating up. competition drives innovation. can't wait to see what will be rolled out next.

Maybe market the alu to soulless plastic ppl since the feel of them will be about as sweet as a ping pong ball inside and empty paint can.

This guy skied 5million vert at the vill in 125 days on Peak skis. He said he likes them but the owner guys didn't really seem inclined to hook him up much.

I wonder what happens when you go from solar warmed snow into the shade

[gaijin]

Wait— is this Bode? Are we clear about that? I think I missed it.

The amount of snow and ice buildup in that pocketed top along with the hassle trying to remove it will leave a lasting memory in the minds of people buying these skis.

I'm just a dentist and not an aerospace engineer, but how well does aluminum hold a sharp edge?

None of my dentist drills are made of aluminum, and I cannot recall seeing anything ever that was designed to hold an edge made of aluminum.

There’s a reason you don’t see many aluminum knife blades.

This seems like a classic example of a solution in search of a problem. I wish them and their investors the best of luck!

Yeah, I appreciate the "Huh, I wonder if I could..." side of it.
But I don't think taking it beyond that to a commercialized product is valuable.

maybe it gots screwed on hard metal edges? back to the future!

Back on topic because aluminum skis are as stupid as it gets (f they ever actually make skis I give them a year before they go under). Skied a my new Peak 88's for the past couple of days at Jackson (currently the land of no-snow groomers only, including a few laps with the 5 million foot man ). In short I loved them, full on hard snow rippers that showed me no speed limit and never balked at any turn I wanted to make. The rest of this story is sad to say the least. Probably should hoard a few pair of the 88's but really who wants to commit to groomer's that hard.

You'll probably be able to get the Peak 88s for $250 soon enough.

But you should probably just buy the aluminum skis instead. They are made of aerospace grade aluminum. You will literally fly on those skis.
