Hey Midwest guys and girls,

I just wanted to let you guys know about a project that some dudes at Granite Peak, WI and I have been working on! We're engineering a ski with RMU for the Midwest. Yeah, for the Midwest, kinda everyones pro-model you could say. It's a beast of it's own that RMU is stoked enough on to think about throwing it in their 12/13 line! I think this would be huge for the Midwest scene and just to give some exposure to the whole region.

It was even in the booth at SIA, to my surprise...

Here's the current low down on the ski, 5 points (similar to RMU's Apostle) 114-120-102-120-114
Rocker/Flat/Rocker, snappy as hell, butta zones, entirely symmetrical, 15.5 turning radius, and all sorts of other cool things! If you know anyone interested or a shop that you think would support our movement with this ski, let them know and I can put them into contact with the right people.

This whole project is being done at cost with RMU and I can't express enough appreciation to those guys!

Here's some pictures of Jake Rybarczyk sliding some rail on them,

Oh, and if you're interested in getting your hands on a pair to test and let your input be heard and taken into the skis' design before they hit stores, just message me! We can work something out.

Hell yes! The Wisco is one of the best skis I've ever seen by one of the most legit companies in the industry.

This, always hating on freestylers, they keep the twin-tips in the back corner at a jacked up price.

if you mean les moise having jacked up prices I can argue that. There pretty much the same online, they had ar6;s for like 330...new in plastic. But this is prob a miss understanding. Places near me hate on freestyle too haha, but expanding.

Yes at THE COMPOUND SKI SHOP in Marquette, we do have RMU... I have a few good riders that have beaten the piss out of the skis in our park over the last few years and the deffiantely Hold Up! No Topsheet chipping, NO edge separations.

I also have got a TELE guy doing Cork 7's and All Kinds of rails on them, Ski is 2 years old and looks like new on top!

The Wisco Ski sound cool and I am looking forward to seeing it in person! for next year.

Wiscos look enjoyable. Just snagged some apostles and they just seem like one of those skis you know will be fun even though you’ve only handfucked them.
