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.

Why are you still so incredibly impressed by someone doing the bare minimum? His craftsmanship is AWFUL, even before you pull out the measuring tape you can see it. If my furniture came out like that, I wouldn't charge for it. Plain and simple. I have standards for my work, and I couldn't imagine selling something in that kind of shape. I have taught people while volunteering in the local shop that put more effort into their first projects than this guy puts into what he calls a business. He's completely incompetent and I would be sad to see another kid spend his hard earned summer money on a disappointment.

You get what you pay for, and the fact is that if he was putting out a halfway decent product then just the materials should cost $300 for a pair with his tiny volume of orders. It astounds me that people will support and tolerate such unprofessionalism, and I really hope no one else gets shafted when they can't afford to (especially the young guys on here who can't afford to buy replacements while they wait).

This thread is for information purposes, I would prefer it if you kept the biased slander out of my thread. If you would like to present legitimate evidence to support your trash talk, such as negative reviews, or pictures, feel free. But until then, cram it.

And FYI, kids statistically have the most disposable income. You should know that.

The order form is such a joke, For example:

333 skis is working hard to get your order out in a timely manner. *

- I am willing to be patient.
-Being patient is hard for me, but I will be patient.
- I am willing to be patient, but I am so anxious.

What kind of a question is that?

You know... not to burst your bubble. But judging by his website, and the fact that he is still getting: Orders, interns, etc. I would say his business is still going strong.

Bump for anyone who is curious what kind of skis Michael Lish and Kristin are making right now. These are the latest creations.
