Gilson Skis

Anytime a ski company says "effortless in pow, bombs groomers, and can tear up the park" I stop listening. Also, those bases are stupid and where the fuck is the sidecut measurement on that webpage?

I was thinking purely in terms of edge durability on rails but yeah, they don't even have dimensions posted.

Seems stupid. Spooning skis made for front side riding isn't very practical.

reinventing ski ballet...

its been awhile, anyone try these yet?

I'm originally from central PA, about 10 minutes from the Gilson factory. Knew of them as a snowboard company for a while and heard about the skis so hit them up to get on a pair. Have been riding them in CO this preseason so can say a few things about them. I was pretty skeptical at first about the whole extruded base design but they feel surprisingly normal on rails. If anything the edges get less wear when you land on the rail than most skis, bc the base takes a lot of the impact. But the amount the base even extrudes is minimal so that if you scissor your edge is still in contact with the rail. Really haven't seen any drawbacks with the design in the park at all. I've noticed a difference in the feel skiing them out of the park though, they require a little more to set an edge to carve/stop, but are super surfy and fun to ski. I can't imagine they would be nearly as fun on a lot of ice but they can still definitely handle it just as well as any other ski can try to. I'd say they're a solid option if you want a durable, playful all mtn/park ski. If you got more specific questions feel free to message me.

What are the dimensions?

Saho3914What are the dimensions?

131/96/124, comes in 163 173 183

So basically these skis are almost untuneable or what. The tech seems great fresh out the factory but maintenance must be a ball ache

I want to try them, but I dont think i could justify buying them for $830

I'm selling a brand new pair not even mounted yet if anyone's interested!! Price is negotiable but asking 400. Originally 750

I ride gilson all mtns on the park and they feel like normal skis besides they are kinda heavy and a pain on ice besides that no complaints
