This is all apparently.

The bamboo core offers high strength to weight ratio, so it should be quite light. It also allows extra flex while offering stability at high speeds. RFS adds to pop and dampens landings.

^ This is how they should be, judging by what's down on paper. Hard to tell, noones skied them yet. Apparently they have a crew of guy heading down to Chile in a week or so, they should write reviews once they've skied 'em/

Its going to be really tough to guess how they are. Its a brand new company, and I dont think too many people have ridden them.

The construction sounds solid, and you cant beat the 2 year warranty.

now it's one

Posted by Shane@Bluehouse View Post I suppose it's time we make somewhat of an official sale announcement. BH will put on an early-season sale for a limited time, Sept. 1-14. All our skis will be marked down to $250 a pair. The sale will take place exclusively online: www.bluehouseskis.com.

Skis purchased at this sale price will include a one-year warranty. We're certain you'll find our products solid. But we simply can't afford to deliver our full warranty for this price. Our full warranty will accompany regularly-priced products.

There is a purpose behind this sale that goes deeper than just giving ski lovers a sick deal. This sale is a demonstration of our support for the local ski community and a pro-active 'thank you' to those who know about BH Skis and believe in us early on. Main objective: get BH skis under your feet.

There is a limited quantity of 500 skis. The sale will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

To be honest, it's a $250 ski. At least it even comes with a one-year warranty.

You should. Seeing as you're looking for a pow ski too, it's a good deal. An all-mountain park ripper and a pow ski for $500. That's a steal.

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting the districts. I'm 6' 1'' and 150ish and a advanced/expert skier (although I live in the east I can ski advanced/expert out west) I'm just skeptical about the 27.3m turning radius. Cause thats a big turn radius compared to what I've been skiing. It might be a little too much for me to have fun with.

Depends what you're gonna use it for. For pow/straight long turns, the 27.3's ok, but if you're just using it as an everyday park ski... well it should be ok, more stable on the landings. Isn't 103 a bit wide for EC though?

They say "once you go fat, you never go back" and thats soo true. I love skiing fat skis. I skied a salomon gun last year (not exactly uber fat, but a pow ski) and I had a blast. I bring them on trips with me and I use them 80% of the time on east coast. I have a line invader for park. So I would just be charging groomers with it, slush, bumps and the occasional 5 inches of snow we get.

We appreciate everyone's support. Allow me to clarify a couple things.

The sale will be on for 14 days: Sept. 1-14. It will start at 12:00 AM on Sept. 1. We have a limited quantity of skis (500 count). When we run out of inventory, the sale is over. Shipping will be added to this price. But we will have a "pick-up" option buyers and we'll have a pick-up day schedule in the SLC area shortly after Sept. 14. Skis sold for this sale price will come with a one-year warranty. Buyers will only be able to purchase a limited quantity (2 or 3). All sales will be online on our Web site.

We're doing this sale to get our skis out there. We will rely on our ski owners to give us feedback in order to make our skis even better for next year. Thanks for your support.
