Hey Guys,
I was in my local snowboard shop today and I was just chilling with friends and I saw some Lib tech shit.
It was called a narrow ass snowboard.

For any of you who dont know what they are:
SKIS with the name of snowboard.

I need new skis and I was just wondering if anyone has ridden them
I was thinking of picking up a pair but I need some opinions first.

Heres a link

Peace

I know a few who ride them. I never hear complaints save one. that one complaint is that its a bitch to sharpen the edge underfoot because of the little wave in them. However I have hear that the wave is also great for helping eliminate catching edge, especially when landing switch and in pipe.
just to clarify, I have no personal experience with them; these are all comments from my friends.

They're made for stupid snowboarders who can't edge. I'd recommend buying a normal ski.

ive been using them this season and i dont like them at all. magne traction is very annoying on rails, bc it makes you catch edges on them much more. also they are very stiff, dk if thats what you want, just saying. lastly the top sheet comes off in huge chunks everytime your skis touch. mine were brand new this year, and now i have like 1/4 of my whole topsheet missing on both skis

Bumping this thread because I demoed some of the Recurve Pow NAS skis today in Beaver Creek, and I've never had so much fun skiing. Granted, I'm from Michigan and have never skied real pow or any kind of pow ski, but holy shit these things were amazing. I felt like I could rip through anything the mountain threw at me.

i had the non recurve's last year (09 model) and in pow they were amazing, but being 191 cambered 2x4's they were not very good at anything but charging and surfing around in stashes, I really want to try the recurves though, great skis. they held up good, i had none of the topsheet issues ive heard of, bases are solid, magnetraction makes a difference on bombing icy groomers.
