My new skis

[mishka]

I don't have enough research for best binding position for different people on my skis.
Current position is BOF at center of the running length -2 cm based on my boat size. Wish I could go further back but now that's required binding be reinstalled, will do it for next season.

no adjustment on the guardians? if not will have to based on mine.

The demo bindings I have are in fact Solomons. I can't figure out the model number. There's a large red 7 followed by a smaller white 10. The DIN ranges from 3-10.

I skied two of your models. I think your mounting location was just fine. Keep in mind that boot size (i.e. skier size) influence position on a demo binding. Smaller feet/skiers are going to be slightly further forward. So even in a demo binding it will be hard to give every skier every option. Mount them for average size/skier and just let the rest work itself out. You are making a kick-ass, small-scale, local product, don't get hung up on needing to give too many options.

So the real question is....when can I come down and build my skis with you?

 

[snoseek]

Yeah, don't overthink this....the ones I skied that day were perfect...however they were mounted

 

[mishka]

no such a thing is over-thinking lol

what the distance between screws on guardians (side to side). This important. I want to make sure they go into Maple.

that's exactly what I'm talking about. binding Position worked well for everybody except me. I need little bit more further back.

Why I am the last to know? we need to talk. you got my number ?

 

[mishka]

All cleaned up and finished ready for binding. Pair on the right last year MR110 for comparison

if you are looking for excuse this summer to lock yourself in commercial freezer and do snow dance this would be good one









your skis













cooling off as we speak

 

[mishka]

here the skis

 

[snoseek]

Oh yes......

PM me when I can get down there for pick up.

If I bring some boots and binding do you have the means to mount?

Cannot wait to get these on steep soft snow!

 

[mishka]

almost there.
Applied the final layer of topcoat today. Left one more step run skis through base sander for the first time.
for some reason every picture I make ski looks darker.

I think this is so cool

 

[mishka]

I think this is so cool

what part?

btw not so cool in the winter when lifts spinning

Nick you not so far away from me. Stop by sometimes I'll give you private factory tour

 

[snoseek]

Look great, ready to mount these up soon...that and get fitted for some new boots. I love years where all my equipment is shiny new!

Mishka is a former KGB winter operations commander. He defected to Rhode Island.

That's my theory anyhow.
