Does Praxis still make skis?

Last year I lived in Tahoe CA, and Sugar Bowl (where I interned) had a partnership with them. Back in February I entered a rail jam that supported "Boarding for Breast Cancer" and ended up winning a pair of Praxis skis! The deal was that you could choose any ski from their line-up, so I went with the 195 Pow Boards. I emailed back and forth with Keith for months and eventually gave up cuz it didn't look like I was getting them. Last I heard Sugar Bowl cancelled the partnership and Keith was calling it quits.

Does anybody have any insider information on where they stand these days? Part of me is pissed I never recieved the skis, but the rest of me would rather see a small ski company succeed than get free product.

sounds like the dudes not doing so well. my friend bought a pair of praxis last year, and broke them, warranty was suppost to get him a new pair so he emailed the owner and mailed them last spring. he has emailed him recently and, from what he told me, ill pm him this thread, they owner of praxis is broke, living in a van, got dumped by his girlfriend, his dog died, his company is basicly dead, and hes just trying to feed himself. really sad.

anyways ive heard all this second hand so dont quote me, just what i was told

didn't you already post that on tgr and get a response? praxis still makes skis that are supposedly better than ever this year. talk to Alto or someone on tgr (alto is drew tabke, sponsored by praxis, think he may even be here now, and I forget what Keith's name on tgr is), they could get you set back up with Keith.
