If you could build your own custom ski what would you build?

Ski is gana be 250cm from tip to tail but still only 187cm long because it’s gana have hella rocker that curves up vertically at the tip and tail. Full edge throughout the ski. 2000 grams per ski, made of poplar wood. Gana have a 16m turn radius and the camber will make the middle of the ski be 2 inches off the ground. 120 underfoot
 
98 Underfoot, 150 head, 111 tail, camber, twintip and a turn radium nearin 15m. Carbon!

Basically the DPS Wailer 99, but more freeride. I swear by these skis, I never want anything else ever.

You'd probably like the season eqpt Kin
 
105mm bidirectional swallow tails (cutout on tail only), ridden 5-7cm shorter than your normal ski. Cutout whigh pulls the noses up in the deep stuff but can still be ridden short and playful for park spins/ swaps. Also longer effective edge for carves and they’d be packing Lib Tech’s magnetraction wiggly edges so I don’t need to retune but they still have hold. Stiffnesswise I’d say similar to reckoners. Would be a fun West Coast daily driver

Thinking like a shit ton of tip & tail rise, fat hourglass shape, 95 underfoot, 125 tip/tail

That’s like a poacher but most people dont like it because they don’t know how to butter stiff skis
 
112 underfoot, 200 cm length, surfy design like a Magic J, but stiff and smooth like the Revolt 114. Probably around 145 in the front, 130 in the tail, twin tip, but slightly less twin on the back.

Basically morphing my 3 favorites of all time (Fatypus D Sender 194, Magic J, Revolt 114) into one ski and making it taller than me

or the armada stranger
 
Im not picky someone just plz make me a park ski thats true 191-195 range. My 189 V’s arent true to size and I feel like I wish they were a little bigger but idk, havent rode them yet. Loved my Jeffreys but theyre basically my only option which does kinda suck

Yeah my 189 Vs are the exact same length as my 187 on3ps
 
id want a urethane pocket/cap construction like the ETT they did at hyland. max durability and damp rubber band feeling.


carbon rods, like the rip stic for the fishing pole whippy feel

shape like hojis or crjs with a little more tip

notches in the tip and tail for dynafit skin system

titanal in the middle stringer like blizzard rustlers

aerogel/graphene in the tips like kores swing weight damping and torsional rigidity

pre preg composites like dps/stoeckli

double edge underfoot like troublemakers of late 2000s

binding inserts like a snowboard so i can qucik change mount points, boots and bindings without ruining the ski.
 
I would take the current 4frnt dev and make it 110 wide with taller tips and tails. I would also make it a little softer and heavier.

2100g a ski! Holy shit, did they put lead in them? The wailer 99 is 1300g a ski

are we talking about the tour version? that seems to be the 1300g ski but isn’t there an other version also that’s more in the 1800g neighborhood? ar least i remember so.

season kin (also mentioned) 1900g a ski so no technically super light either. just a suggestion in terms with what the homie described, stranger was my fist thought after reading the measurements.

edit: i just re-read the thread and you were the homie describing the skis ?

Right we talking about the tour1. I keep forgetting about the normal version. Id hate to lug those anviles around.

I am also looking a ski to replace them if they break.

The Stranger, specs looked pretty nice until I saw just how heavy they are.
 
I'd make a touring version of the Wet + with a slightly flatter tail and cutouts for tail clips. Maybe some lighter materials like paulownia core and thinner edge. Then I'd use UMHWPE weave instead of carbon or glass because it's my ski and I'll use what I want. I'd mount some ATK Freeraider 14's on them at -1.5.
 
ON3P Woodsman sidecut in a 112 model. Could be one of the greatest quiver-killers of all time. Fat enough for the deepness and skinny-enough to finagle through tight spots if the turning radius allows for it.
