I've got a pair of 184 One Lifes that are in very, very good condition. Mint yo! I would trade them in person with someone for a pair of Live Lifes in 181. I live in Toronto but will be in Whistler and Banff most of the season.
Despite you saying Surface doesn't mean anything, I know this to be false. I know you want to hide the truth. Surface was purchased in 2005 by Micheal Schneider from an elderly Italian man, known as Antonio Surface. Antonio is the estranged younger brother of Gianni Versace that was banished from the family after scoffing at his older brother's silvery shiny ascot. To avoid further disappointment, the family forced Antonio to slightly change his name to Surface and spend the rest of his days living in the family's ski chalet in the Italian alps. It was there where Antonio discovered his true calling, hand making skis. Much like his older brother challenged Italian fashion, Antonio challenged the stale paradigms of skiing. Although K2 and Line are generally considered to have pioneered rocker technology in skis, it was actually Antonio Surface who did so, years before. After the sale of Surface Skis, Antonio disappeared. Some believe he was tired of living in the bustling town of Livigno and now lives in a secluded hut in the Alps. Some believe he is actually Donatella Versace, running his late brother's fashion brand. Some believe only Micheal Schneider knows for sure.
Or, at least, that's what I tell people on chairlifts when they ask "What kind of skis are those?"
