I bought a pair.  They were orange with yellow base and red writing (if I remember correctly).  Then less then 2 weeks later some douchebag broke into my storage locker and stole them ARGGH.  Good thing I didn't mount bindings on them yet.  their website has a picture.  I think the UK site has a pic of the topsheet and base

I have the 176 ones with the dark orange base and yellow lettering.

Killer ski though! The flex is just perfect and most poppy ski ever!

Gotta love the wicked color combo, especially standing out on snow:

Sound's like they kill in the park, but how are they on the rest of the mountain?
