Know some people who tried these bad boys out in whistler

Skis for men, allegedly mind blowing in pow, and close to life threatening on groomed due to omnidirectional base.

Thoughts?

I like the reference to boogie nights. And those utensils he calls them look redic. Not surprised people are doing weird things like this being basically anything will ski pow lol

This takes the thought that width underfoot is all that matters in a pow ski to new heights.  Looks like you could impale someone with one of those things.

Looks like it would float like none other but so unversitile like if you had to go through trees you'd be fucked.

im intrigued by the idea of skiing sideways with the spoonlike underfoot. I wonder if it would be possible to hit stuff while going sideways... interesting

After watching the vids it looks to be like they're driving the tails as it's the most effective way to turn do to the spooned underfoot....like they're using the shape of the tail to carve the snow instead of the underfoot edge....if that makes sense.

those look super unnecessary. ski's like the ARG have enough float as it is. making anything bigger is just a waist of materials and time.

and do they think that's the first time anyone has discovered you can spin around the pivot on rockered skis?

ARG's are already too fat IMO. They take away some of the softness on powder landings because they are soo fat.

Sick thing is you can borrow them for free when you go cat skiing in the whistler area, only downside is the binding is like a 20-30 din race thing
