My Powder Skis for Next Year

[AKdiv]

I just put a $200 retainer down on some 195cm Praxis Powder skis: 131-136-121, reverse sidecut and rockered. Praxis, an indy ski maker out of Tahoe, is selling these skis (also in 175cm and 185cm) for a super-cheap $400 if you put down the first $200 now. These skis have been reviewed very favorably by the powder-savvy folks at the TGR forum.

Anyhow, the last day to get this deal is May 6. The price goes up to $700 afterward.

yea, they are sick skis. 195 is massive.

 

[AKdiv]

They're certainly not everyday skis. But they apparently kill soft snow and hucks.

 

[eastcoastsoloMAN]

dope

 

[*DrewT*]

Wow those skis sound epic

 

[Plod]

Wow. That's just rediculous!

 

[ski_cartel]

those things are epic

 

[DJSTEVEINNIAMIXX]

those are some buuurly skis.I want to try reverse sidecut skis so badly

 

[-justice-]

holy god those are gigantic

 

[tahoearmada20]

I see those things EVERYWHERE now!

Biggup the O'Meara familia... you guys are coming up

 

[wrenegade]

If I didn't already have ARGs I would have definitely ordered a pair.

 

[AKdiv]

How do you like your ARGs? I think the Praxis will be somewhat similar.

 

[Peter.]

yeah 195 is massive, you sure you are gonna fit those?

 

[AKdiv]

I'm 6'1", 190 lbs., ski aggresively, and rockered skis are supposed to ski a little short. So it shouldn't be a problem. Also, I'm looking for something to supplement my 186cm Prophet 100s. I love my Prophets, my I could definitely use a much bigger, burlier ski for hard charging and hucking.

 

[iggyskier]

Praxis are the shit. If you have any question about size, go bigger. They ski and run short. Super sick though.

 

[doublexl]

get spks. they have a super wide waist.

 

[invader7]

did u even read the thread?

 

[SilkyJohnson]

they look kinda like spats

 

[iggyskier]

they are a lighter, improved spat.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Hmm.... those or Pollard Pro's?

 

[Baker]

or hellbents?

 

[-NY-STeeZE-]

i saw those [praxis skis on the ski pic thread pretty nice

 

[Troop801]

pure powder ski, pintail design compared to regular sidecut. Huge difference. I'm in between the 185 and 195, but think im sticking with the 185, for touring and tight trees. So stoked.

 

[First.Aid]

Those are sick. Screw next year, fly out to NZ and ski them NOW!

 

[-NY-STeeZE-]

massive

 

[Rooddss]

huge

 

[yeahitsdave]

the hot pink topsheet is sick haha
