I would say that the skis and boards were a complete success.

I have never skied on a wider ski in deep snow, so I was very pleasently surprised at how easy they were to turn in the deep snow.

The only change I would make at the moment is to make a lighter pair.

As I managed to break my first pair due to stupidity, I made the second pair of skis stronger by adding 2 extra layers of carbon fiber (One top & one bottom).

This took the weight of each ski up to 2 KG without bindings.

Here is a short video from last weekend.
