the only problem with man is that he doesn't know how he ought to live. But there is a law of life. A law to live by. Not guidelines (commandments)..not suggestions (parents, schools), but a LAW. Just as certain as the law of gravity. The law of nature. Distroy diversity and face extinction. Increased food production = increased population. Starvation is natural. We have to start following the laws of nature and stop thinking we are exempt from them. We have to stop pretending we are gods and we were meant to rule the world and possibly the universe. if we continue, we will crash. we are getting close. As we eliminate species and diversity, we decrease the changes of anything surviving after we destroy ourselves. We are very close to eliminating all life on this planet forever. Something will survive, right? Well, we hope so. But one thing is certain. It won't be us.

Yes, they make skis now. Can't get them in the shops, you have to get them right from Prior.

Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

Al Delarosable or something like that is rockin the Prior prototypes...next year is gonna be production year. Chris Prior (owner) has been buiding killer boards for about 10 years and is going into skis. Hand built, these skis are bommber. I was testing a pair i got made for me last year. They were super sick. Look for them durring the WSI.

yeah I saw a few select people riding them last summer at whistler so they are made its just hard to get them and they are expensive, but they look very sick and from what i heard from those using them they are strong as hell and ride really smoothly

really expencive but there the best skis u could ever get. i demoed some fat 181cms and even with the tyrolly demo bindings they were lighter than my 161 1080's with old rossie bindings on them. the ones i used were super stiff but u can get all specs made to your spesifications so i u like soft skis u can just say i want a medium flex with lots of pop in a 120-88-113 and then they will make them for u. i would get some if i had that kind of money to wast. each pair starts a 1000 cnd i think

i have so much respect for prior because 1> they can build shit exactly to your specs, and 2> they're built in whistler and some foreign country!

here's the email i recieved from the sales and marketing manager from prior today.


Hi Rob,
We have made some prototype skis that are still under development. They are all-mountain mid-fats in 171, 175, 181, 185, and 188cm lengths. We have been testing the skis throughout the season with excellent results and will probably put them into production for next season. Since they are still in the development stages, we are not currently selling the skis, but if you are in the Whistler area and would like to demo a pair, just give us a call!

Don't forget that he probably doesn't know enough about skis to have his 'custom built' skis built to the specs he actually wants and/or needs.

^hold up their fucker! the way prior works is you pick out the base model you want(only snowboards right now)and you can tweak it almost anyway you want. ex. flex patterns, custom graphics, widen/narrow waist, etc... sure you can do it but it costs extra. i haven't heard a bad thing yet from anyone about the prototypes and i have good friends that have ridden prior boards so it's a safe assumption that these will be stellar skis.

^You shouldn't use expressions like 'hold up their fucker' when you're too lazy/stupid/ignorant to use there correct form of 'There' which, in this case, would be 'there'.

I just demoed some 175s at camp a week ago. they kicked so much ass!! they were hevier then my line skogens but that is to be expected. I went on a tour of the factory and the guy said that they were exepting pre payments of $300 cnd. they will go for $899 cnd but he said he could give me a camper deal of $799 cnd. I think i will jsut get 4frnts alot of people say they ski prutty similar and the 4frnts are cheaper.

i would describe them as 'crisp clean smooth and stable' as opposed to my lines which are jitterey and shakey. not that they are stiff, they just work when you want them to.

They were at the ski canada test, but they were mounted literally on the tail so noone was really able to say what they were like and what they were capable of.

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. 'She hates guys,' Pete lamented, 'so it’s not going good.' Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.
