Anyone tested them out? I'm looking for a powder ski for next season and can get 60% off on klint. I was looking at tanner R's KRYPTO which I could get for about 340+shipping.

I really want something that is gonna to crush in deep snow but still decent around everywhere else. I would get the 187(123mm waist) cus i'm 62'.

I would go for it, no one has really tested them because they are new this year but 60% off is a good deal and they are building a pretty good team so they must have some confidence in their product.

I'm in the same boat, think I'm gonna pull the trigger. Want something fat that can still keep an edge in the crud. I've seen a few reviews that sound pretty good, and a friend at the company said they are rock solid.

Very little info in Klint other than the brand is owned by Snowfab, a San Diego licensing company. Curious as to where their ski's are being made.

Sounds pretty core if you ask me.

They're pressed in China, so I would be cautious on them as far as durability goes. The skis seem fairly generic to me, nothing real special about them just rockered powder boards. But who knows, maybe they ride real sick, no one knows much about them yet.

from their site, their product is designed to "meet the expectations of snowsports consumers worldwide"
and personally as a skier I would hope I sm representing more than just 'snowsport consumption' altough as a soinsired rider I am doing exatly that.... just dug myself into a hole, shit.

There's a bit more info on them over on TGR

I guess they're produced in the Swallow factory.  In Japan. 

Not "Chinese crap".

i dont know about you but my bluehouse skis are kicking ass right now and i love them. there are some tweeks to be make here and there, but that is easily fixable for next season. Just because they are pressed in china doesnt mean shit unless you think that skis are like 50 cent plastic toys. JUst saying that they got an editors pick in freeskier mag so i would hit that deal up. who cares wehre they are made as long as its quality (which im guessing it probably is or else Klint wouldnt be growing as a company).
