A long time ago in a galaxy far far away @ericrpollard convinced @uncle_canada and I to build the widest, shortest ski in the world 150mm waist, 172cm long, symmetric, twin tip. Eric was determined to figure out how to make a ski that would allow him to stomp tricks backwards in pow like he did in the park. ⁠ ⁠ This was around 20 years ago before there was such a thing as reverse camber, tip rocker or taper on skis and @salomon Pocket Rocket was the widest at 98mm waist. This specific version never worked well enough to justify releasing it to the public but it was an important prototype among hundreds of others that eventually led to some of our favorite modern pow ski designs. ⁠ ⁠ Just like learning a new trick, figuring out a new ski design requires a lot of fails but if you're persistent enough, you'll eventually learn how far is too far, and do more of what works and stomp it. At one point @MSPfilms told him if he kept trying to land backwards in pow they'd weren't going to film h...
