Haha so I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried to mount a pair of skis backwards. Not like a symmetrical ski cuz it'll just be the same. But like an all mountan ski. I think it would be funny to see.

My friend bought a pair of Solomon Czar's a few years back that were mounted backwards. Sounds pretty sweet for switch pow runs, but I'm just curious as to how they would feel going forward again
