"NOT MADE IN CHINA"

That 's great.
It can be the name for a ski company.

What weight is the carbon? Did you guys do something different with the tips? In the last action pic it looks like you can see a white tipspacer.

Ahh, it just looked really symmetric and looks kinda like the metal tips on the Volkl Mantras.
