Yeah let’s spend 500 bucks on skis that are the exact opposite of what you want as a park skier in the tip and tail with bullshit terminology like “ergonomical shape for tip/tailgrabs” or “steady platform for buttering” shits like having big ass sized fishing hooks on your tip and tail just waiting to get caught up.

The idea definitely came from a bong rip in some apartment near CU Boulder

You aren’t seeing the big picture here. With misfit skis you can put your skins on backwards so you can tour switch, it’s genius

If I ever get stupid rich I'll buy a pair if only to do this.

And for all the haters im always down to see people make new ski designs and new skis because I think that's cool. Almost none of us will ever make our own skis so these guys living their dream is awesome.

There might be a roofbox review on them coming, they tend to review these smaller random companies every once in a while.

Damn that's a lot of hate for skis that you guys haven't even ridden. The tip shapes are a bit whack (but a point of difference, pretty effective marketing) and yeah they're certainly not going to be a great park ski because of the size but they look pretty sick. I'd be very keen to have a jam on a pair

I cant imagine them as a great park ski, but feel like theyd be pretty fun to just rip around the mountain. Would have people asking about them every chair ride up too lmao

Anticipating the twintip skins over here with clips on both ends.

(this could actually be useful to adjust the tension on both ends)

All the culture dickriders here shitting on misfit will do the fastest 180 in the west when their favorite Instagram stooge posts a shitty trap music edit on misfit skis before proceeding to claim they were “on the wave” before they were cool. It’s a story as old as time. Absolute cattle.

I’m gonna buy a pair and put some skins on them, wax them skins up and hit a rail to stunt on the haters.

But nah I think they look dope. They’re on my short list for next pair of skis I buy. I love it when people aren’t afraid to go for it and try new things. I bet you NS is going to be all over these in a few years. There’s ALWAYS resistance to change. It’s normal.
