Great Review!
You mentioned having seen many Skis that fall in this category at SIA.
I am looking pretty much exactly for the Ski you are describing. Coming from europe Romp is probably no option.
Any recommendations for Skis that come close?
Matt,
We are happy to ship to Europe. Shoot us an email and we can check shipping costs for you.
Thanks,

I received my custom 106s from Romp in late Feb in 2014. Ordered mine with a some tip and tail rocker (25cm early rise in the tip and 20cm early rise in the tail) and put 15 days on them last year, enough to realize they were the best skis I’d ever been on and gave my son a pair for his July birthday.
This season I’ve put another 30 days on them, skiing here in Vermont on hardpack to powder, bumps to tight trees, and in Austria in skinny chutes and big step powder bowls. If there ever was a one ski quiver these are it. You can lean these over and dig in the edges on the groomed trails to lay down big arcs or shimmy thru the bumps with ease. Quick turning and stable at speed (granted I don’t ski much over 40 mph).
The only caveat is I need to be centered, no skiing from the back seat here. But with a little bit of skill, not power, but balance, these make most stock skis feel like a Buick compared to their Porsche like performance. Of course if you are a beginner I’m sure Caleb could build a pair with less performance and a bigger sweet spot too.
My 28 year old son loves his pair of 106s too. The additional stiffness under foot and graduated flex pattern makes them a no compromise do it all ski. And the beauty is while we both have the 106, Caleb dialed our respective pairs in perfectly for our ability, height and weight.
Hi. I recently had the guys from Romp Skis on the Colorado.FM podcast. Really great story about how they got started and what they are excited about in the current line up of gear!
