Ellis skis

K, full blister level review:

I tested out a couple prototypes for the owner, one was 114 so I think it'd be close to the 112. I don't really ride anything wide and the proto was way too long at 186 for me in the first place, but I found them pretty nimble because they weren't that heavy even with demo bindings (for reference I dailied the 177 poacher at the time). Despite the lighter weight, the longer camber made them pretty capable, I shredded the hell out of some windbuffed chalk and moguls, but again, I'm a small guy on a big ski.
The only downside was they didn't feel super floaty in the 6-8 inches of wind-loaded powder that day but given the only floaty ski I've owned was the 2012 obsethed I'd rather be able to ski into an icy patch without the fear of death. Durability wise I felt I took a chunk out of the base more easily than the poacher but I absolutely smoked a rock doing that.

Overall, if I were the kind of guy to buy a full price ski I'd probs swing it on a pair.
