Sorry Ben_mtl - I am lazy
Skis - Bouqetin is what I call them - like the mountain animal they are named after (you may know it as an Ibex or Stienbock) they are supposed to be powerful masters of the mountain.
This pair have a recycled pine (bed and pallet in these) with Oak sidewalls, tailbone and tipspacer (thanks Luca) and Oak veneer topsheet (thanks again Luca)
130 - 100 - 120 and 180cm long - this was my first pair of this shape from my new press (must get round to writing that one up) I pressed the ski to far back in the mold and ended up with a lowish tip - ok in yesterdays heavy ish pow, but not so great in the lighter stuff.
Similar ski to say a Dynastar legend Pro - a fair bit lighter and a bit easier on the legs (a touch softer).
