First of all, The longest ski icelantic makes is 161 CM and that's their pow ski. MOst of you know nothing about icelantic. The idea behind icelantic skis is surface area over length, meaning a short, wide ski.

This is their site, read up.

Second of all, If you can't do switch stuff your not gonna get sponsored unless you can throw like cork 7's and such.

uhh..  I am not sure what to say, other than I should probably delete your thread for you.. If you don't know what is going on at your own home mountain - you got a ways to go.

niether can the rest of us
weve just been skiing long enough to know a general ski length to our personal hieght ratio and that has given us the key to the world
we're all spancersized already so why are we even talking to you
