What's up everyone. We've been getting a lot of questions as to when our skis will be available and where you can get a pair. Well we're stoked to announced the skis are available now!

You can find all of our skis on our online store at: http://shop-us.snowide.com/products/category/13267.3.1.1.1037296.10236.0.0.0

MAY I SUGGEST!

if you'd like APO skis to be successful, get some quality, honest write ups about all the models of your skis so people know what they're getting in to. Describe the shape, rocker profile, dimensions, what they excel at, maybe even what they might not excel at...i realize you have some of this on your site, but i dont believe it is sufficient enough in the write up to give people accurate representations of how the skis are gonna ride...add the dimensions onto your online shop as well...

i dont wanna see another COREupt

and in addition to what that guy ^^^ said, do some free consumer trials to let the people of NS try them out and give their unbiased opinion.  i'd be willing to volunteer to try them out and do a write up for you, hit me up if you need to know where to send a trial pair!

No descriptions of the ski, no measurements, no tech-specs? How are we supposed to know what the ski's are like? There are two more thorough descriptions on the site, the others are just a price with a length...

Bigwhitesteeze: We don't have write-ups on all of our skis but you can find some here: https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/713030/

Cornholio: We're setting up test centers throughout Oregon, Colorado, and Minnesota for this season with more to come.

Tijmendal: There are specs and measurements on all of our skis, including the contact length, on our website: http://www.apo-snow.com/gb/skis.html

haha this guy..

but actually if you want some legitimate reputable reviews, send a pair of your skis to these guys:
http://blistergearreview.com/category/gear-reviews/ski-reviews

they do really in depth reviews and really know their shit about skis. They've been doing a lot of powder skis lately, but if you look in their index (http://blistergearreview.com/index-ski-reviews), they also review a lot of park skis as well. there are a lot of good skis out there, so its pretty unlikely people are going to start buying APO's without having any reviews about how they ski, their quality, etc. good luck to you all and like the other guy said, don't be another coreupt!

The skis are in stock now at 2nd Wind in Hood River, OR (Sammy's adopted hometown) and they look sweet.

the logo turns me off so much from your company, that is seriously the only thing I hate about it.

how can you actually expect to sell skis when there isnt a detailed description on your website on all of you skis? why would someone want to take a risk and buy something there is little information about? and it will take potential customers longer to find the information theyre looking for. another deterrent.

seriously how do you expect to stay alive in this already stuggling market if your approach to business is to provide potential customers with little to no information about your product?

pow_pow, the site they posted that is really vague about the skis is simply an online outlet to sell their product through. Here is their actual site loaded up to the 'Ron' ski: http://www.apo-snow.com/m/gb/skis/ron.html Provides way more info on their products.
