Volkl walls.

They are amazing.

or if you don't have the cash money, find some invaders, but i do remember seeing walls from last season for really cheap on backcountry or somewhere.

ok sounds good

ive spoken over the phone with Mark from 333 skis. he sounds very professional and does everything possible to make sure you are getting the ski you want. i would be very surprised if the skis are not of quality

the guy who makes them definitely knows what hes talking about, hes been in the business for a long time too. for the price (especially the 222s), you can't really beat it. what ever ski you want, for that price, most likely good quality? sounds like a steal

I put an order in with him and I've spoken to him on the phone. He knows what's up and I am completely confident that he builds quality skis. He'll make anything you want, rocker, reverse camber, taper, whatever. Plus he's got sick ideas for park skis. Kevlar strips underfoot? Fuck yeah.
