  • Folsom skis you ride and why?
    191 Giver, 8cm back from
    center. I ski it because as the name states it takes everything I give it. 185cm Taker, 6cm back form center. This ski is super fun in powder and kills it on open faces with huge turns. 185cm (135-107-125) 8cm back from center. I love this ski everywhere it is super nimble and fun in all situations. 185cm (125-93-117) 5cm back from center. This is the ski I use for park. Its light poppy and rails turns.

  • What is the best thing about having a ski tailor made for your height, weight, and skiing style/ability?
    ? Imagine having the ability to take your favorite ski and alter the things about that ski that did not suit your needs or wants. Not to mention going through the process of identifying what exactly you liked and disliked then finally coming up with a finished product that is built exactly to your specs. It is really exciting and has personally re-energized my love for this sport.
