Wow! Tight radius for a fat ski.

Wow! Tight radius for a fat ski.

turning radius ## not always represents actual..... Turning radius.
when design skis radius derives from tip and tail numbers in relation to running length. Rocker skis making RL very short. Also if sidecut radius continue into the tip and tale actual radius is much bigger.
Personally 140-xx-140 skis I would make waste at 125 or so.

@ Puck it Do you know weight is per ski or a pair

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 it looks awesome that dark. Evil looking (in a good way).

skis is not dark, only the picture. Colors so bright and sharp if anything top looks like 3D.

snoseek I'm jealous lol.

Getting excited here. Got a call back on a job in Telluride this winter. These will be perfect there! Want to ski these sooo bad.

Drove down for pick up and mounting last nite.....looking at my new skis now, just need snow. Look for reviews as season starts. Can't wait to get em on snow!!!!!


Also, small little factory but damn impressed by ingenuity gone into it. every detail of process scrutinized. Skis built by skiers using quality local materials.....

I decide to make one more pair of skis MR-87 dedicated as all mountain new England ski. .

dimensions: 119=87=107 R19m 175cm. They are similar to my older design MR86. Main difference MR87 will have beefed-up core for better performance on the groomer and ice. carbon fiber reinforcement to make ski lot more fun. Flat tail and redesigned tip rocker

Do you have any plans to boost production after getting feedback from the various models? If the cost of a pair of handcrafted skis is comparable to the mass produced big brands, I'd opt for the former...

no I don't have any plans to "boost production"or have any production models. Each pair skis build to its own unique specifications and not intended to be mass-produced.

I'm sorry you don't see value in one-of-a-kind skis compare to mass production. Have you ever tried custom skis? Maybe you don't know what you're missing?

 

[twinplanx]

You seem offended by my previous comment. I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Of course I "see value in one-a-kind skis" No, I have not tried custom skis. Yes, it seems like I am missing out on something very cool...

not offended at all. Possibly misunderstood a little bit. Ski season just around the corner and everyday I go skiing is R &D and "demo" day:wink: hopefully we can make some turns.

 

[twinplanx]

Fair enough. Looking forward to it
