Wow! What nice helpful video. I'll but a pair of your skis in a year or two when something inevitably breaks. I live in NH now. So I found J and bought his 108 and the 108 that recently replaced it. But I'm originally from Minnesota. Next up? A set of your 105s. A big issue for me is my skiing style. I'm old. I ski like they did in the sixties. I grind the crap out of the inner tips. I have taken to armoring the tips with a layer of JB Weld every three or four ski days. Some sort of grind resistant inner tip would be a God send. Imagine being able to send at his age.
