Yo u was just scrolling on insta and saw some posts with them in the park. They look absolutely sick. Anybody know anything about the flex, stability, durability, and really anything about them?

Down skis are pretty dope, a lot of Swiss FWT athletes ski them. They’re not super known for park skis, but I’d imagine they would be decent. The only thing with buying skis from them is that they’re gonna be a lot more expensive than anything typical (Armada, K2, etc) because they don’t have any of the US market yet.

Decent thread on TGR on them - "Get down with down" I think it's called. Disclaimer I own the throwdown 105 and love it.

Would skim it - most is around the countdown and lowdown lines which I don't think you're interested in. Should give you some assurances re. build quality etc though.
