Official 333 skis / 222 skis - review/discussion board.

So its about that time, people are going to be receiving their 333skis in the next few weeks, and this is the place to post up reviews.

What I would like to see, is a general summary of your skis shape, dimensions, pics etc. Then when you get to use them on snow, a first impression. Finally, after a good season of abuse, an overall conclusion on how you like/dislike them, for the skiing, durability, etc.

If you have questions about a specific pair of skis, try to PM the poster, so the thread does not get huge and cluttered. I would like to have as many pairs reviewed as possible. If you have a general question about the construction of the skis, or whatever, just PM me.

well I'm Brian, and I sent in my money and they said they were going to be building my skis shortly

so i think these are mine! but they look a little fatter than 96 waist, and I didn't want them too pow oriented, more east coast with the occasional pow

yeah, im actually really excited
i wasnt sure when i first say that video, the ski looked soft and powder oriented
but i realized it has a soft tip, stiff underfoot and just the very tail is kinda soft. hopefully thats actually more what im looking for, an eastcoast crappy condition slayer

Plus, that is just the core. He has not added the base, edges, and fiberglass. The finished product should be just what the good doctor ordered. (or just you) The long section of softer tip will chop crud like a boss, they look pretty sweet.

Its so sick that he makes videos of the skis being made.

Really interested in some 222skis for next year. Make a horizontally laid powder ski would be sick.

That is if these turn out to be good skis.

Here, this should resolve this, I got this email this morning.

"Kristin here- Your skis will be shipping in the next few days.  The bases are being finished right now and then they will be packaged to ship.  I will send off a photo of them soon and tracking info when I drop them off."

So they will probably show up next week? I will post pics as soon as I get them, and a thorough touchy feel review next week. I should be able to get on snow in a few weeks too. We will see. Gotta get my boots fixed, and get some skins.

I emailed them requesting that info. You probably won't get the email unless you ask. But I think they are sending pics to everyone and tracking info. Look for that by early next week?

true twin like is the tail like the tip instead of raised or flat?
the tail is like the tip, but shorter. the tail and tip are both low raise since it has some rocker, but both are of the "twin tip" style

i didnt really know how to say that correctly, hahaha

I can't believe they shipped before ON3P. but I guess 333 don't really let their skis cure or anything like that... I hope they stay together for you :)

If you don't have anything nice to say, you probably shouldn't say anything at all.

hahaha. come on, this is NS!

But I'll try again...

I REALLY hope that your skis stay together AND that you have a rippin season on them and can provide us with a most informed review of 333 skis in due time.

ON3P preorders are shipping in late November, as we have consistently stated. But lets keep this on the topic.
