Schralpfest?

While many scholars debate the origins of the word schralp, it is a well known colloquialism amongst the gnarly that “to spew is human; to schralp, divine.” And so, after an epicurean weekend of Skiing the Sky with some amazingly awesome and humble riders from across the Pacific Northwest, we would like to thank our host the infamous Neddley Dew Chester. Mr. Chester graciously overlooked previous faux pas and invited us back to the Jager Palace for Schralpfest 2012 and we’ve never been more stoked for a second chance. Photos and more will be uploaded to Facecrack once we have separated what may or may not qualify as blackmail.
Balance and Options
We have been working hard throughout the fall and winter to dial in our process and make a number of new designs, sizes, and shapes available. In fact we now have more than a dozen new options spanning the gap from 75cm kids skis to 202cm rockered big mountain skis. The bottom line is that we can create a ski for whatever style of riding you need in just about any size you can dream up. Here’s a couple of our new flagship skis that we are ultra stoked on…
We introduced a new couple new prototypes a just 2 weeks ago (codename Super Soldier and Tatonka). The dimensions of the original Soldier were beefed up from tip to tail allow for more flotation off piste (132-93-116). We also added early rise in the tip and tail to allow for easier turn initiation and tail butters through the trees (or in the park). We mounted the Super Soldiers with new 22 Designs Hammerhead bindings and they (not surprisingly) turned out to be a ripping all mountain telemark ski. The Tatonka ski is, as the name might suggest, a burly big mountain ski designed for ripping big wide open turns. We brought both the Super Soldiers and the Tatonkas to Big Sky last week for some testing off the tram on Lone Mountain and our ski tester was quoted as saying “wow dude…these fattys are tasty indeed!” Both pair are currently only available at the 180+ length but we can make any ski a reality so drop us a line and we’ll figure out the perfect set-up for you.
