Are these reliable? A friend wants to buy a pair on eBay and asked me for advice.

I've heard them called "Blow house" before. So I would say no.

It is/was a boutique brand out of Utah. Some information may be gleaned here:

Or on the lmgtfy.com site?

There's a reason they only stuck around for a few years. Garbage

I remember them getting shitted on a lot for being garbage. Also I think there was some drama with someone on here and bluehouse.

"Horrendous durability. Had delam and edges coming out by dec/jan.

I really hope you guys do take off, but I'll have to start hearing some different reviews before you get my money again. It seems like the experience I had with my pair is an all too common story amongst the ski world...."

"I had Antics last year, they seem to have a weak core. Started to develop rocker by the end of the season."

I don't think I've heard that name since 2008 when my cousin wanted a pair of Mavens sooo bad

They had a couple skis with cool graphics around the '10-'12 era like the Meastro and Maven, but ultimately they were heavy and had complaints regarding the durability.

Didn’t one of the 4bi9 dudes ride for them back in the day? Like maybe Kutcher, Kiesel, or Wyble? Maybe Rich Fahey?

Haven’t even heard the name in years.

I snagged a pair of maestros couple years ago as a back of the shop find, I skied them pretty carelessly ie purposely hitting dirt and they've held up pretty well actually, nothing worse than minor coreshots

Bunch of utah dudes rode for Bluehouse, wyble and kutcher were probably the most "known" at the time.

Their skis were cool, but they were pretty average skis that had durability issues and they don't exist anymore, so probably should get something else.
