Show us all some small ski companies that deserve respect and a good look.
I'll start with Rocky Mountain Underground.
I'm interested in buying new skis soon, but I think I might try something a bit outside of the trend zones.

MOMENT and ON3P make very good skis. I own a pair of MOMENT Bibby Pros and have ridden a few pair of ON3P's 11/12 boards...high quality stuff

I don't know what kind of ski your looking for, but if your looking for a dedicated park ski from a smaller company, check out the Icelantic Da'Nollie, here's a review

I skied the RMU Diam all last season and its fucking ill. super buttery and a ton of pop. the 92 width doesnt get in the way of park and lets you ski pretty much any terrain. they are hella light too. way lighter than my alpha 1s were. I also skied the professor and thats a pretty dope pow ski as well, as long as full rocker is something youre looking for.

I know one of the owners too, and he said they've only had one of their athletes break a pair, and he was skiing down rocks. just saying.

Ive heard very good things. Was told Leigh's took alot urban use and resulted in very minimal damage. Quality construction and an overall good ski.

I might have worded that poorly. I'm really just looking for skis from a company that isn't quite as large and popular as Line, Salomon, K2, ect...
But some good stuff in here though. I haven't heard of some of these companies.
