what are the dimensions for the these skis? When you go to the site to buy them from your website they don't tell you dimensions. Pretty dope deal on last years skis right now.

They are pretty darn warm... not some crazy glove you'd wear hunting polar bears or anything but they do the trick. Made with (dead) deer skin leather and come with a Thinsulate liner.... and come in sizes S, M, L and XL

The price ain't bad either.

No silly.. Joystick is a major corporation committed to profit above all else. Our Board of Directors would kill me.

They're great for resort shredding for sure. I personally put 100+ days on mine and they help up good. I had to waterproof them before wet spring conditions but other than that, all good...

PARK POLES come in 95cm only but are badass for their height.

You know they actually do pretty good shredding all mountain. I skied my pair in Alta all March last season (when it wasn't nuking) and had a blast. They are 92 underfoot so have a little stability popping off stuff and slashing and dicing through the shrubbery.

If you are into this sorta thing.. we only have three (3) pairs of telescopic backcountry poles left in stock. Signature pro stuff from some guy named Pep Fujas. They are normally $100.00 but we've got the last of them on sale for $50.00 if you click HERE!

Do these only come with pow baskets? Or are smaller ones also included with them?

What did the skiers sponsored by Joystick think about Tony selling it to Freeski Brands?

I don't know I didn't ask them... but the ones who know me (Mike Schneider) are still around because they know its still a family owned brand. Tony did a good job creating a brand but couldn't keep it going any longer so we bought it from him rather than see it go under.

It would have been a shame to see Joystick go out of business.

What do you mean with family owned?

Its not like with 4FRNT right? (Rider owned)

Its owned by me and my family... not a bunch of suits and corporate fat asses like Atomic, Salomon, Rossignol.

Family Owned = Family Owned.

I guess you could say "rider owned" too because I ski every single day too. But I hate the term rider owned. I think its shit and overused. But thats my opinion.

any plans on making THESE in bigger sizes? 175 is a little small for a 6'2" guy like myself.

Oh man.. we should make them in a 185cm for sure... but we haven't done it yet. However, there's a new ski coming out in January from us that coming in 175cm and 185cm...

More details to come on that around Christmas.

4FRNT uses the 'rider owned' term because the pro skiers that have a pro model at 4FRNT are partly owners of the company.......

So your 'family' invested in your company?

My family meaning me, my wife... and my kids for that matter. I invested in myself.

Does that make sense?

I know how 4RNT does it for sure. Cool stuff.

Dang. I really want those poles but the 34 dollar shipping rate is pretty much a deal breaker.

I like the designs, but your website needs some major work. I am incredibly unlikely to buy any ski online if I cant get some basic info about it other than the design and its base measurements. I want to know what its made of, its flex pattern, camber? Your designs are sick but I have no idea about anything else about them other than they are a park ski.
