Just another 2" day at the Bird skiing with my old roomate (he's the one filming). Caught a bunch of air, had many a pow turn, and didn't ride the tram once. This stuff is just way too much fun. Thank god for night shift.

I was on the green pair on the far left of the top picture in this thread:skidesmond wrote: So which skis were you using?

It's actually pretty similar to the others beside in the picture. This particular pair has an ash core with maple sidewalls. The dimensions I have settled on are 135-120-130 with a 35M turn radius in a 188cm length. It is so much stiffer and burlier than anything I had made in the past. My next pair of bamboo cores is waiting to get tuned (the white and black pair on the far right) and I'm thinking I will like them a bit better. They are just a bit softer. Maybe a little more forgiving. That's my number one design goal for my skis--burly, but forgiving. I hit a lot of jumps I shouldn't and land back-seat way to often. I need a ski that won't rip my knees apart when I do that. I'm already on ACL #3 in my right knee.
