The last few weeks I've met the guys starting this up and have become pretty good friends with them. Last week we tested a few pairs of park skis and they seem really sick. The flex and pop of a STL with the sidecut that reminds me of a Salomon Foil. So far I've beaten up a pair pretty good with no edge cracks or blow outs. All the skis are handmade in Summit County, and they can do 1-off prototypes too. I'll be helping these guys test throughout the whole season, they don't plan to mass produce/sell skis until 2009/10 season.

There are a ton of upstarting ski companies, and only the best survive.  RMU only sold 200 skis last year so hopefully their sales pic up.  I know that a lot of Professors have been sitting on walls for a while in my local shops, fingers crossed for those guys.

i think they just need to drop their prices a bit then they'd make some more sales

I was thinking about buying a pair of Diams next year... They are a little too pricey though in my oppinion.
