              I've lined up an established builder to do a small production run for me (50 pair of each). I'm going to try to sell them locally and online to cover my costs. Investing a bit of money on this. If the samples come out well and I can cover my costs, I'll be adding a narrower version of the 117, a 125 and, of course, the 145 (now Yeti, soon to be renamed).

              Gonna see if I can fill in the longboard skiboard / short ski gap a bit more.

                  Never. I don't ride anything shorter than Sherpas anymore and my weapons of choice are all 140 cm or longer now.

                    Not sure yet. Work may get in the way. I want to... very badly. However, getting time in off late February is difficult with my new job due to the timing of our legislative sessions.

                    It will be an 11th hour decision for me... probably won't know for sure until late January.

                        If you make it, be sure to bring some Moonshine with you!

                          If you cannot make it, send some skiboards, LOL.

                            Will the construction support directly fixing bindings?
                            Just these, nothing else !

                              Absolutely.

                              Though I like and appreciate the Spruce riser setup for my own sticks, not being able to safely/securely direct mount has been an irritant to me. I like a couple pair of boards equipped with demo/adjustable bindings for friends' loaners and when I'm taking newbies out.

                              Boards I'm having built will have inserts but also thicker cores and reinforcement to facilitate binding screw retention. We should not have binding screws pulling out... my builder assures me they have that problem licked. However, I will be torture testing one of the samples to try to induce a direct mount failure.
