So I'm looking for peoples opinions, and whether or not they'd be interested in what I'm about to propose.

So suppose I had the resources to start up my own ski company, would you, my fellow NSer's be interested in a new line of skis? The idea kinda came to me in a dream last night haha, but supposing I could make legit skis, and sell them for cheaper then the main companies, would you guys want to buy them?

For my senior project I plan on making skis, and donating them to like orphans. But after that I'll have a very useable ski press.

I'd of course be open to new idea's from you guys now and later on ski styles, cambers, flex's, graphics, etc. etc., But this is basically to find out if people would be interested.

it would be hard to trust some skis that noone has ever ridden before because of durability. but if u gave a warentee and they looked sick and performed well i would consider buying them

Jea I'd have many skis made for practice and such before I began selling, but this is basically just a pre-marketing scheme, because I want to see how open people would be to a new ski company maybe. This could also be the THC talking.
And this would happen in a year or two.

anyone who isn't open to the idea of a new ski company is ignorant. especially when you're asking for opinions on how everything should be. a good ski company, or any company for that matter would be nowhere without direct input from an outside source.

Maybe you should start little. I mean selling some pairs in your local hill and stuff and then growing up because if you make it big from the start you have a big risk of loosing big money. Thats just what I think. Anyway, wish you tons of good vibes with it and I am happy that more people is doing skis.

in my opinion you wouldnt need any new revolutionary idea to be able to sell the skis, as long as they were quality skis and similiar to other ski companies but cheaper you will most likely sell some pairs
