anyone have bluehouses? I hear they wear down quickly and have some ridability issues. Anyone got them though and have a different opinion on them?

If you have a chance, pick up a pair of g-butters. Funnest ski without a doubt to be on in the park. So buttery in the tip and tail yet solid on landings and rails and everything else. My skiing abilities were increased with g-butters. Company is so underated

Some people may not call surface small anymore but I would consider them to be so.

Damn mobile. Im 5 8" and will ski most things from 175ish to 190. Even if youre on the light side, they have plenty of skis that could suit you. The modern ski is not like "to the nose" type of measurement. Center mount (or close to it) rocker, twin tips etc all make "big" skis feel much smaller. Anyway, ON3P is the truth.

I can attest to the dopeness of Fatypus.  Really quality skis that are just so fun to ride, I love everything about those skis!  I've met the owner too; good guy who really cares about his product.   It's safe to say they got a customer in me for life!    Just copped some of those new L-Toros that I'm super stoked to get on this season!

We keep the list of more than 280 different ski builders at http://www.ExoticSkis.com.
You can definitely find some small ones there.
