Picking Skis

Remember that guy below?  He got his wish.  He's getting new skis.  But first he has to fight Caitlin Compton for the best pairs.  Here she is Improving her hand/eye coordination.

The better part of valor and avoiding a black eye is to let the Olympian get first pick.  


Picking skis is part science and part black magic.  Here's Brian Gregg working on the science part.  I suspect he was actually thinking about dinner.


Matt Liebsch applying the squeeze.  Here he's trying to weed out the bottom of the pack.   Matt's literally been through thousands of pairs of skis this year alone.  He is arguably one of the best ski fitters in the country. 


Some more skis.  But you've all seen these before.


 After squeezing and pressure mapping you still have to put them on the board.


His tallness and 2010 Olympian Garrott Kuzzy doing his best to apply equal weight.   Nice pants Kuz.


Perfect balance.  Nothing like Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest to usher in the new ski season.
