    I haven’t paid close attention to these but pretty sure they’re monoblock aluminum & they spin that as essentially infinite amount of material to sharpen. lol.

    Great - start with powder patty, transition through a frontside sport carver, end cup with a cocktail toothpick.

    Obviously they should have started with strategic partnerships with dentists

    While this seems really stupid and bourgeoisie to anyone here, it's really not a bad marketing ploy if your customer base is high-end monied people who spend a week or two at high-end resorts looking for a unique ski experience. Having said that, I don't think anyone here is subject to this ploy unless we have a bunch of hedge fund managers lurking. This will also likely be featured at Vail and other related resorts that parlay themselves to the Texas crowd. I'll stick with my Dynastars, thank you.

    This was similar to what I was going to post. It doesn't do anything for me, but there are lots of people who were just walking around Aspen that it would do something for, and they may actually by these people's skis.

    Sounds like it's as much bout selling a ski day to Bode jock sniffers than the skis. If I had the money I'd buy a curated day with Bode and a pair of Peak enhanced branded skis so I could have the chance to slap that clownshow upside the head.

    No mention of any sort of financial contribution to the non-profit. So this is just raising awareness for the non-profit by selling their skis to dentists? Stolen powder.

    Buddy worked for that Org. for 2 years. He calls it out as a scam and went back to patrolling.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    Sounds like the business side of things may be a scam. But I do have to say that the few times I have seen Peaks on the hill, they were being ridden by very good skiers.

    ^^^ I see them a lot on the hill at Big Sky. Not one person riding them says they are meh. Reviews are pretty favorable and dang near every user is a very solid skier.
