  1. You know what I’d actually want and can nearly justify in terms of spend on skis to compliment our household’s current selection of 6 pairs of assorted freeskis? Something even harder to get your hands on than a GS ski with a cool topsheet.

    A no compromise, competition-ready Black Crows mogul ski. That’s the cool, narrow, all-mountain ski that shops’ ski walls need.

  3. 1 meter of ski in front of the toe for powder (39 in)? That’s ALOT of ski at 110-120 wide.

    Do you think me meant in front of the mount line (or boot center)? What do you run on your skis?

  4. He must have meant “in front of boot center”. Otherwise, he could not ski any of the skis he designes in powder. I prsonally doubt a simple measurement can really work like that. often enough, a couple extra cms in a heavily rockered tip don’t even ever touch the snow, so there is only so and so much effect to expect…Also, he says he prefers the 189 in powder, but only to lose much of the gained tip length by mounting forward. But it certainly works for him.
