Alta ? VT?



I do. I don't plan this far out. Usually 2 to 3 weeks out at best

BTW if all goes as planned should be mailing skis late next week. No promise but is a possibility

Hopefully you let us know when you are coming to Utah. Maybe you can get a group together to demo your fine skis and make some future sales

My skis are done and they sure look good. Thank you @mishka for building these for me. I’m looking forward to them being delivered to me and having the tough decision of what color of binding to put on them.
My bench will be cleared with a cozy spot for them when they arrive.

Bindings -- I'd either match the yellow (in store, with skis) so it highlights that color or go with a neutral. Anything else would detract from it and those skis deserve better.

@mishka -- Have you put any bindings up against them yet?

I am still convinced they do really, really well with shiny silver bindings.

Vist, Neox.

The contrast between metallic sheen and wood does wonders for both.

They may. Silver is neutral. I expect the odds of finding a yellow binding to match are pretty slim.

As much as people say topsheets don't matter, I've been relieved by the posts on here about matching and complementary binding colors.

For me matching will only go so far. Since I have Pivots and Attacks not being used, I will most likely use one of them that are black, white, red, green, or even an orange FKS.
I thought a Pivot in raw (silver) would look good but since I don’t have any of those stashed, I doubt that will happen.
I originally told @mishka I was going to use a demo binding so I could ski it in different mount points. When I told my wife I bought skis her first question (anytime I buy skis) was, can I use a binding I have hidden from her in the garage or do I plan on buying new bindings.
My answer to her means I shouldn’t buy anything else but can always trade something for them

I was gonna say a Pivot gold, but barring that, something in black from your stash.

I knew I had skis coming so when I got a message from home that I had a package delivered that seems like it might have skis in it I headed home.
To say the skis inside were packed well wouldn’t be giving enough credit to @mishka.
To have skis and a new iron delivered the same day tells me that we will have above average snow totals this season.

thank you. It was difficult to let them go lol. @jmills115 MR102 looks so much nicer compared to mine. I'm starting to think to press new veneer graphic on my MR102. At least I got new MR 86 with similar graphics from me after this summer skiBuilding season

If you make it to Utah I might let you ski them
As good as they look in the posted pictures, they look better in person.

Black pivot for sure!!!

Gorgeous skis. I have become more interested in a NE ski maker for my next pair. I feel like there's an additional level of understanding what we need for our conditions.

Alright you've got my attention. I know @cantunamunch was trying to get me to meet up with you guys and then covid happened. Let's ski together this coming season. I will reply back to your pm.

IMO wight of the ski it's only one aspect in ski performance. Of course 100+ ski do not perform like GS or SL ski and I don't expect it, but I usually take my 102 out even on groomer day to ski. "Stratton powder"= scrapings 6 foot on edge of the trail and it's a lot more fun to me compared to stay on ice in the middle of the trail on much narrower skis
