+KARMA for any help
I searched to find out any information i could on the HIgh Society FS.
Any one have them?
If so how do you like them?
I have been skiing since i was about 4 years old and i am 19 years old. I live in Missoula Montana and go to the Univ here. I ski as much as possible in the backcountry and i want a fatter ski to ride but also can still ride the groomers. I weigh like 145 5'8.
Currently riding my Armada Alpha 2s but rode my buddies Liberty Double Helixs all last year in the powder.

Thanks for your time

I will admit I have never ridden any. All though I had a buddy who had some. He said he was having delamination problems on the rear tail by Christmas break of the first season.

My buddy is coming on his third season with this ski: http://www.backcountry.com/high-society-fr-twin-tip-ski-hsc0001

He LOVES them. It's the main ski he uses for park and all mountain.
Shreds pretty good in the pow, but he's currently in the market for some JJs because his HS don't do pow as much as he likes.

Skis are still in great shape. No edge cracks or delam.
Plus they are head turners and many people strike up a convo with him.
Very small company, but the people who know skiing always love to talk to him about his sticks.
You should have seen the guys in the shop when he had them mounted. He felt like a celebrity for 15 minutes.
