So I spent a few hours on my Districts at A-Basin (Saturday, 10/13).
Lets just say these are definitely a conversation starter, I probably got ten comments on them within the first few runs. I LOVED the way these skied. They were really stable at speed (at least the speed I could get w/out losing my pass), carved reasonably well, and ripped the hell out of the crud. (Keep in mind, it was firm man-made snow with some bumps) The bamboo core has insane amounts of pop. Jumping moguls or ollieing off the tails felt awesome. Skiing switch was a little weird, and the half twin made me sketch on catching them. The only problem I noticed were some decent topsheet chips, and I’m not sure how long the pop will last. For the bigger guys, they will probably overpower this ski, however, I can not wait to try some real lines and pow on these. Nice work Bluehouse!Â
