I had a pair of L-toros, super fun skis, very durable or at least for me they were. I used them for about 2.5 years and all I got was an edge crack. The one thing I will say is that they were very light, and I mean very light. I upgraded to a pair of Kartels but I wished I never sold the them

I've heard they are really rad, from a bunch of ski patrol guys.. I haven't tried them personally... They look like a blast though.

Been around for quite some time and I really have yet to hear anything bad about them. They seem like sick sticks

I heard the L-toros are dope. Didnt Adam used to ride them? I really want to try their mogul skis but want to demo them first.

I have a pair of (Gen.1) Mack 5's. Giant as fuck, but they ride so smooth. Solid flex and they perform well on the groomers for being 139mm in the waist.

You should scope their site out every 2-3 weeks starting now. They pick one model and sell it for $290 for a few weeks.

Super underrated ski company, skis are made by never summer so they are the same quality and feel as Icelantic, ninthward, and the older RMU's. Delorme used to ride for them and the l-torro was his pro model. I've had a few pairs and I love them, light, quick, and buttery. Plus they're anual summer sale is where it's at if you need cheap sticks.

I've been on 5 of their skis and really like them. Not over engineered like ON3P but are still very durable. I really like how they still retain an element of forgiveness while still being stable. Currently on 188 Athlete Flex D'Riddums, which are poppy and prefer an aggressive stance.

D'roots are on sale for 290 now! Thinking about pulling the trigger but the l-toros seem so enticing

No brainer to grab a pair of skis from them. I've been skiing on their products for 7 years. The d'roots are definitely my go to - super playful ski, lots of flex, lots of life, super durable, can handle any terrain, and holds it together on big jumps. I've never been tempted to hop on another brand's skis simply because I get everything I need out of these skis. I can say the same about the L-toros. Seriously grab a pair.
