Boone skis are light, poppy, and built like shit. You will get through maybe 1 month maybe two if your lucky without them completely breaking. The edges crack after hitting about two rails. they will delaminate within the first two weeks. the graphics....ha!. you get base bubbles when the edges blow and even if the ski is brand new.... they ski like shit. In my STRONG opinion do not buy Boone skis.

and it also isn't only the ski. you should ask around about the owner of the company..... see what you here. its ridiculous how terrible one person can run a ski company and think that he manages a team well at all.

I havn't really heard anything from them for a while. So either nobody buys their stuff or they're only mediocre. Imo I wouldn't spring for them. There's nothing unique about them, you could probably get something similar that wont crap out.

well there made out of bamboo which is good for the enviroment.....and give them time they dont have high ranked riders and there advertising in minimal....the most popular skis are the ones that are put on to a high profile rider (tanner hall, tom wallisch, henrick, eric pollard, fujas)

Lots of haters on NS. Do legit research and then decide.  We back up our skis 100%
