Just Ordered a pair of 333skis

So I just put in my order for a pair of 333skis yesterday.
They are going to have a similar shape and flex to maybe a Line Blend, but with "early taper" and a little bit of tip and tail rocker as well. Almost a thinner stiffer Line EP Pro if you will. The specs are as follows.
Length: 180cm
TWT: 130-102-124
They are going to be my everyday skis except for the super deep days, in which case I have Chopsticks. I will be posting up extensive and detailed reviews of both of those skis, and will be skiing them both a ton this season for work. So if you guys are a little skeptical about the 333skis, I will provide some extensive feedback on both performance and durability.
Now I am off to work my crappy summer job.

I got the 222 dollar test skis, so he will stain the wood, but there is no Graphic, just wood grain, but pretty sick, probably reddish purple. I don't know how long it will take to get them, he has had quite a few orders come in, but I am guessing on a few weeks. Its not like the season starts soon though.

my threads. This is interesting. I looked through the "order form" form the 333 ski and it seems like the guy really cares about what you actually want cause it was very in detail and specific.

Dude, he really really knows his stuff, I saw a dialogue between him and Iggy from ON3P, and even Iggy likes what he does.

I THINK that he starts making the current orders in 5 weeks(plus a few days for the orders before yours to get done). Hopefully all these turn out great.

So I talked to the guy from 333 this week, and here is an update on mah skis. He helped me tweak the dimensions, the rocker design, the flex, and all that jazz, he seems to very much know what he is doing.
The skis are going to have a 16cm rocker on the tip, and a slightly stiffer/lower, 12cm rocker on the tail. I will provide more info when I get it, and for all you guys wandering how 333skis are gonna compare performance wise, as soon as I get them, mount them, and as soon as snow falls, I will take them up for a test drive on some early season pow.
Until then, enjoy your summer, and dream of winter.

I was thinking about ordering some and copying the idea of the hellbents... Anyone think this would be a bad idea?

If you like a floppy noodle for a pow pow ski, then sure, it would work, he will help you out alot with the design and everything too.

That is what I just ordered, I don't think many people have actually ridden his skis yet, as his company is just getting started. I will be sure to post up a very thorough review of the skis when I get them, when I ride them, and after a full season of heavy use.

Can you post some pics of when you first get them too?
Posts: 2012

Karma: 105
Yeah, I will post plenty of pics.
But, keep in mind, these are unique, one of a kind, custom skis, built for my weight, skiing type, and what I wanted as far as shape as stuff. So I will mostly be getting into build quality, skiing performance in terms of construction, and stuff like that.

NVM. But his "Factory" is sick but if he gets in a crash with his trailer on the back basicaly his whole company is gone. the warrenty is decent

No, I am sure he has insurance, plus his factory is usually parked, and people tend to stear clear of large miving things on the road anyway. Especially if they look "thrown together" since he hand rigged the whole thing.

Karma: 105
No, no sarcasm, but sure, I will post up initial impressions, as well as an on snow review asap.

So I got an email from the 333 guy today, and he said that he would begin production in like a week or two. So I expect my skis will be in by late August to early or mid September. Check back then for pics, and initial thoughts. Then around mid October, maybe earlier, I should be able to get onto some snow with them. (Provided I can get them mounted).
