I also wish they were longer too. I am 6' 2" and 185 lbs and find them to be too short at times.

you can always order a BS with an extra metal insert thing...or two. Thats what you gotta love about the boutique brands, you can play around with the flexs, for an added small fee though...probably

Absent from SIA?  Are these skis not sold through retailers?  Yet?

When do we get to see what's coming from these guys next year?

I was at SIA but as we are not moving to retail yet for the 2011-2012 ski season, we did not spend the money to have a booth at SIA.

We are working on a ton of different prototypes right now as well as a few new things - so skis won't be released for a few more months. Once we release everything, it will be clear why.

We will probably let little tidbits out from time to time, but as we have a lot of changes going on, hopefully going to let most of the information out all at once.

A move to retail is likely the new step for us, but it at least a year away at this point.

We do have some entirely new skis coming out, along with some changes to existing ones, so I think everyone will be really stoked on what we've done.

I would expect an announcement around late April or early May.

I'm thinking about getting either the Billy Goats or the Caylors. Can't decide which one, i am 5'10 140 ski aggresively, and ski at Baker if that makes a difference. I also do a fair amount of touring so which would be better for that?

Which one would you recommend.

Do you prefer a more traditionally mounted ski or a more center mounted ski?

Do you care about riding or landing switch at all?

You could tour on both, but generally people prefer to do so on the BGs. But we have people touring on Caylors as well. Just a lot of tail for kick turns.

you ski at baker, wouldnt wrens be the ski to get over the BG? (I would) that is unless your landing switch, then go with the caylors.

BGs are a better baker ski than wrens. Wrens = Crystal & Jackson. BG & Caylors = Baker and Alpy.

Ya i think the wrens would be a better ski to let run, a more Whistler oriented ski.

After reading this definitely going to wait until May to see what they have in store before I pick mine up though I really want those BGs at that sale price.

Anyways does anyone have any insight on the sizing of ON3P interms of is a 186 a true 186 or is it like some companies and is more like a 190. Not a huge difference just curious?

if you put a 186 cm ON3P ski up against a wall and mark where the tip hits the wall, that mark will be 186 cm off the ground. Or in other words what most companies would call a 189/190
