All Things Bobbie Burns and The Ski

[Philpug]

Are new The Ski still in production? If so who is running it and is it part of some bigger company?

Scott was making them, I do not see them in the line this year.

The Ski, is one I would like to have tried. Never had the opportunity to demo them.

What lengths were they using for aerials and ballet?

Ballet, 140/150/160. My Puppets are 150's Aeriels, 160/170. When ballet started in the early 70's 180-190's were not uncommon.

The reason I mounted my reproduction red The Ski with the Look Limited Edition HH bindind is that it was a throwback to the original Look 99 RS. Today I found a pair of The Ski TRS with the 99 RS, these look so good together.

Those are so cool.

My TRS came drilled for 727s. Those are the worm screw all metal. I did find some more colorful 727Es to put on them..

Those black 1-4 727s ended up on the split tails.

You found a pair of TRS? Details are needed
Also, can the red catalog from Epic get imported to SkiTalk?

I have two pair of TRS's now. I will use my other pair as trade bait to get a white pair.

I was just texting with Bob Howard earlier today ... and Alan and I talk every couple of weeks.

I don't think there was any transfer of data from EpicSki to Pug/Sk/Talk. Vail owned and still owns everything EpicSki of the past. A small collective of former employees started this place on their own.

If anyone has a copy of said catalogue document though I'm sure @Philpug and @Tricia would love for it to be shared here.

I had a drink “with” Jack Taylor in 2001or 2002 in Camden Maine. He was behind the bar, a lobsterman friend knew him. He was very mellow, almost zen like. .He lived on his boat and moved between Florida and Maine. He wasn’t that interested in talking about skiing, sailing was his passion. RIP.

The Ski garment bag. Of all the obscure items I have seen from brands as logo promo items, a The Ski garmant bag has to be the most unexpected one I have seen.

Thanks Robbie Huntoon for thinking of me.
