I'm on my second pair of these. The first pair, bought used has about 100 days on them and are still going strong (now a training ski). My more recent pair is also in impeccable shape. I spend a lot of time evangelizing for these skis, yes they are more expensive than most other race skis, but the thing about these is that you only have to buy one pair. Most other race skis will break (looking at you Dynafit and Movement) and then your day is ruined and you have to buy another pair. I think these make sen...

I've been on a multi year search for a brake race binding that doesn't suck. My search will have to continue. (I added a standard ATK brake to these, the transition was a little slower but those brakes were robust and reliable). While these seem to function just fine when skiing on groomers I have found that the toes pack with snow really easily and then they can be really hard to get in and out of. I recently raced the Pierra Menta with them and we had some nice powder. I was really struggling at some of...

When I bought these the question I asked myself was: I wonder how long until I break these. The answer was about a year, and they broke right in the middle of my most competitive local race, because of course they would. My previous pair of aluminum Trab racing poles had lasted about 6 years, but the straps were in a shambles and one had been bent by the nice folks at KLM in my ski bag. I picked these up as a replacement. Yeah they are super light and I love the carbide and the powder basket (extra $) is...

Why, Skimo of course, where else?

I picked up a pair at the end of last season hoping to better fill in my Zero G Pro Tours whose liners had packed out to the "basically unusable" setting. I have only used them once and haven't dialed in the fit yet, I do have high hopes for fit and ski-ability given all I have read about them especially considering my low volume foot and heel. I think one thing has to be stressed though and Skimo did not do a good job in the description above is that THEY ARE EXCEPTIONALLY HEAVY. Not like a little heavy,...
