I heard about these skis at the start of the season and didnt think much of them. However i looked again and after their first season they have had some good reviews and recruited a team.

Post up what you think of the brand, the ski line up, the graphics, etc. Also weather you think they will make it?

i've never heard of them before
the website and skis strike me as a bit "extreme" in the vin diesel type of way though...
not really my style, but hey, if they ski well...

Tell you the truth I don't mind them. I think there just a small time company just tryin to make it big. Sure there stuff looks shit but I wouldn't hate.

Yer dont hate but the wholebrand does look a bit weak! The dragon logo and name are both soo cheesy and unoriginal. Its like they have no idea what they are doing.

Will be interesting to see if they are around in a couple of years.

What I read from that:

"I doubt they will be around in a few years"

whatever you think of the graphics they ski real well. they tested way higher than a lot of the big names this year over in europe.

I like the stromforce pros topsheet. Nice and simple, the whole range follows the storm theme which is great.

The area that lacks (for me) is the strom logo its self. I think they should have used something like a snow weather symbol or a cyclone. Something other than the dragon which has been used in alot of other non-ski products before.

Thays my opinion anyway and if they ski well then i would love to own a pair because their British and the brits dont get enough of their own when it comes to skiing.
