So the prototyping and development rocks on. We’ve been testing the new 105 mm in several different sidecuts and flexes. It’s so cool to be able to test sidecuts as part of this process. I think we’re really unique in our ability to do that. Normally a company does the research to decide on the shape that is the future of a 105 mm type ski, width at tip, waist and tail along with camber and they commit to the tooling by buying the mold, camber plate and top. This can be $25,000 per size.  With our new sidecut invention (patent pendi...
