Nice, but you can’t post it next to a dog crate and toy without showing us the dog, too.

Pupper looks too big for house.

Oh that's definitely not his house anymore. That was the crate I brought him home in 5ish months ago. But he still does occasionally smash himself into it. Though something usually sticks out lol

question: what made you choose those skis? Shop suggestion? information? totally own choice? how about the graphics?

Well I can tell you graphics didn't really play a part in it. I like cool looking skis, but they have to work first.

When I demoed these guys, the main thing was they are so dang light they don't feel nearly as wide as they are. And considering they are my only ski and I live in Colorado, I wanted a ski that could handle powder when it happened, but not leave me running poorly on groomers. Overall they were a pleasant ride and a decent starting point for me. In the future I'll probably look at something a bit stiffer and narrower, but for the time being, these do the trick.
