Thats right, a ski press confiscated from a weed growing producer of hemp snowboards.
7 Mile emphasizes sustainability in their practices, and a community approach to building and selling skis.
Not a big hucker, but I like to ski fast and make some slashes here and there.
I have been skiing on a 191 ON3P Billy Goat.
What they say:
With the Floaties on your feet you will be ready for the deep days.
This ski stays afloat and amazingly nimble in soft snow, trees, and chutes.
So get your Floaties, bring your snorkel, and schralp the deep gnar!
Our first run, getting to the backside, had us going through some soft skied out snow.
The Floaties handled this very well, not being bounced around or deflected by the chop.
The next run I really got to open them up on some wide open untracked snow.
Needless to say, it did not suck.
I was able to link nice bigger turns while being able to release into a slash at any time.
While the rocker is subtle, I think it seems to really help keep the ski very nimble.
The balance between the chargey bigger turns and the smaller and slashier turns was very nice.
I imagine that the longer 191s could really rail on hard snow, especially paired with an alpine binding.
The most recent five days on the Floaties have been in Japan.
Overall impression:
For me, the 183 Floatie is a great one ski pow quiver.
