Ordered the Stepp pro model, but it won't be shipped until December 5th so I'll have to wait until then to really get an impression. So far, however, I've been extremely impressed with communication on J's part. When he released the 184 in the 98 shape, he sent out an email asking if anyone wanted to change the length to 184 since it wasn't previously offered, even if it was in one of the other ski shapes. So far I'm confident that I'm going to get a solid fucking product, and I'm stoked beyond belief for the day they come in!
