me niether. with the money you spend on those you could buy from a well-known legit brand. i understand trying to help out the local small business ski companys and thats cool to do. out of those too i would pick the d'nollies. ive heard awesome things about them. i heard the fatty-pus's should stick to fat skis.

Alright so my buddie has a pair of G'butters and they are the sickest skis i have rode since then they kill it. i would check the reviews. I know that icelantic and and fat-ypus both make sick products. so dont worry about quailty. PM jibhonkey he has the butters. i would so both are sick skis and i dont listen to any one who has never even seen the skis in real life.

I would say the Da'Nollies from personal experience. Icelantic makes quality skis so I wouldn't even second guess the quality of them. They are pretty soft but are stable at higher speeds. The are very similar to the Line Anthem but I like the Da'Nollies better.

how does that make any fuckin sense?

Anyway to OP, from my personal experience the g-butters are awesome, i havent ridden the da'nollies but they look real sick, but I can tell you the g-butters are the funnest fuckin ski ever and they shred on ice or whatever. And for 250 thats a damn good price

ive ridden the da'nollies.  fun little jib ski.  icelantic makes bombproof skis.  you could contact them and ask where their (free) demo tour is going this year.

Really depends on what you like, I demoed the da'nollies last year as well and was not a fan. Hitting any jump at highspeed was super scary because the ski would sort of flop around after I popped. Also they're super soft so if you land back deck at all you're on your ass.
