So, before you go ahead and comment about what a dumb idea this was, keep in mind: 

     -I go through two pairs of skis every season,  So this is not going to fuck up my skis.
     -I work in a shop, it's not that big of a deal to have a base weld as long as it holds.
     -Unfortunately about a month after doing this, my binding ripped off my ski and hindered them useless.



But is was a fun project, and I got a lot of laughs out of it.

yeah, I'm kinda bummed that the skis only lasted for a month after that,

      But i just got a new pair for next season. (MissConducts) - Exact same thing as the Silencers, just different graphics.

I'm gonna get a pretty sick Base weld on em.

Haha I like. How did you do it? Did you just carve out the letters into the base and just fill it in?

Base weld is just a high density p-tex that shops use to fill core shots, or in this case, places where the base was cut out. If you use clear base weld, you can actually stick some paper under, and put the weld on top. You can write anything you want that way, and even keep the design of the base looking like normal.

Yeah, it's a chick ski..

    But it's the EXACT same ski as the silencer except for different graphics. 


and it's considerably cheaper. K2 prices their skis for total sales, and since womens skis aren't sold as much, they price them cheaper.
