  1. Tom is right about the Scratch BC/FS. The 1080 got the ball rolling, but the Scratch BC/FS and the team of riders on it really made it happen. Let’s not forget a younger Candide on the Scratch BC.

    The Scratch FS IS the reason I ski today. I spent a week demoing a pair after a few years having switched to snowboarding. That week ignited a lifelong attachment to skiing. I’m not biased….

    Also people fundamental is creative ski development:
    Jason levinthal
    Julian Regnier (sp?)
    Candide thovex
    Chris benchetler
    Eric pollard

  2. Thank you for sneaking in the trouble maker. Bravo. I think I saw a leaked photo of an M-Free 112 with an OG troublemaker graphic. If that becomes available, it’s a must buy for me.
