I have an older iteration of the Layzrblaydz, which I have found to be incredibly fun to ski at Snowbird.

i have the rayzrblaydz ( a skinnier version of the layzrs) and i freaking love them. my rayzrs kill it everywhere and even up to knee deep pow. with the added width of the Layzrblaydz i can imagine they would slay everything. im looking to buy a pair in the future

If you want to take the Layzrblaydz for a few laps, we'll be doing a demo at Alta on January 3rd. You can also take them out any day during the week if you swing by the factory in downtown SLC.

I was at Alta and overheard someone say that if you go down to the factory your first demo is free. Am I hearing things? That seems to good to be true haha

To be able to give you good advice to help you pick between the two skis, tell us more about you and what you want.

You heard correctly. We do free demos out of our factory during the week when we are not at resorts doing demo days. We are a new company trying to get as many people on our skis as possible, so we don't see the need to charge $50 per day to try some skis.

Kittens will be softer, but not ridiculously softer.

I have a lot of experience with the layzrblaydz and have taken a few runs on devastators and I would agree with this statement. Devastators are for sure stiffer in the tip and tail then the layzrblaydz. The Layzrblaydz are stiff underfoot with softer tip and tail, the tail being slightly stiffer then the tip for added stability. I also love the taper in the tip of the layzrs, that is the biggest difference in the skis for me, felt like it was way easier to butter and maneuver the layzrs then it was with the devastators.

Hope that helps!!

How hard do the layzrs charge?

We stiffened the Layzrs up a good bit this past season and they will retain
that stiffness for next season as well. They would not be my ski of choice for the FWT, but I don't think you will ever feel like you are held back by their stiffness or lack of chargability. With a 25 m turn radius in the 185 cm length you won't get speed wobbles when you're sending hard pack. That being said, they are meant to be our jibby pow ski. If you're looking for a ski dedicated to straight lining chunder, there are better options out there. But if you want a do it all pow ski, the Layzr is a great choice.

I ended up with a pair of layzrblaydz and they have been great! I've been using them as my everyday ski.they have a nice balance between being a ski you can charge fairly hard on while still being fun and jibby.
