The Exhibition - S was was a fine ski and an easy sell when they went to the two tone blue cosmetic. I seem to remember that the first top sheet colors didn't sell as well. The yellow background with blue and red stripes just was a tuff sell. A lot of customers back than liked to color coordinate the ski and binding, some still do. The two tone blue was very easy to match up with maybe the Tyrolia 260D or S 222 binding to make a custom happy.
Yes, it was a graphic like the Freestyle but the lettering was on the green not the white. It might have been a slightly gray-white like the CM but my memory is also questionable.
You have any photos of the skis? It would be great big help to ID them.
I like green skis so I’m surprised I don’t remember them. I remember several reps in those days saying Green skis don’t sell except in Asia. The Ski was available in green ... in Japan only. Great looking skis. Might have a picture somewhere...
I should but gee that would be back on the polaroid era. That's asking a lot.
Wow, they look exactly like the Exhibition S with the yellow background, red and blue stripe plus black lettering. I wonder what the tails of the skis looks like?
They were turned up but they weren’t rounded in this version if I recall but as I’ve proven, my memory isn’t ironclad. I think the width of the Sarners is interesting but not for me -I liked the sub 70 mm waists for quick edge release. The K2’s were very skinny and symmetrical but I never noticed any advantage in the symmetry - skiing backwards isn’t the opposite of skiing forwards-your knees don’t bend backwards (hopefully) Stiffer tails were an advantage for this very reason especially in the sub 150 lengths.
