    Black Crow Skis

    My friends at Basin Ski in Killington Vt have been pushing me to demo Black Crow skis specifically the Atris. Have any of you tried this ski and could post a review. I'm also interested in learning from anyone who has tried the Daemon or the Orb. I definitely plan to demo them this winter but...

    Kicked my Kastle Habit.....Blossom White Out

    I started the season with a new knee and wondering if I could ski. Things are working very well so I decided to upgrade the fleet. Now that the season is over, I'm looking at two pair of Blossom White Outs. One at 170 with a 10mm Marker Piston Plate and Excel 16 bindings. One at 175 with a 14 mm...

    What's up with Skilogik???

    Web site had been down for months, Facebook page inactive for months (except for comments from folks like me wondering what's going on). I heard/read that they switched to offshore manufacturing (China) last year & the results were a disaster (quality issues). If they're gone, that will be a...

    Individual Review Review: Kästle FX85

    After testing the new Kästle FX85 last SIA, I told Mr. Davenport, “It’s like cheating!” — so quick and easy to ski, super fun in bumps yet handled both groomed and light crud with ease. I already own an MX83, so I felt the want but not the need for a similar ski. Except that they aren’t that...
