Synopsis:

Short skis suck and long skis truck. From rails to steeps, its apparent that the only difference between yesterday and today’s technology is speed and stability off-piste. Oh, and those old school graphics are the way to go…hint, hint, ski company manufacturers. Seriously, how radical would a 200 cm K2 Fat ski with the original 1980 graphics and sandwich construction look underfoot? I’ve already filed a patent on the idea.

Cameramen:

666, Arty50, Lph, Spats, & Emma (reasons why they are absent from most of this fantastic TR)
