The mods/admin have decided that the Original Poster of the original 333 skis thread has the right to delete it. So I myself was looking foreward to some reviews on the skis themselves. The Gist

Michael Lish started a website www.333skis.com where he and a small team of interns build custom dimension one off skis. Their factory is a trailer constructed from reclaimed materials and all skis are made with a minimal impact on the enviornment due to the use of a honda power inverter and solar power.

222 test skis are essentialy test skis built with a clear wood tops and no graphics packages which cost $222 a poor mans wage, while 333skis have graphics and cost $333 a working mans wage.

The warrenty is subject to speculation at this point but was originaly stated as 2 years with a full return policy for 333 skis and 1 year against defect for 222 skis. Many Mags placed orders, and it is only fair to have an opportunity for all to see how the Michael Lish / 333 skis saga plays out. No matter what is posted in here I the original poster will never take this post down.

So please continue to discuss and someone post a TR or review on theese boards so we can all decide for ourselves how to proceed

Thanks wheels! I know I was not the only one enjoying the original thread.

Personally I'd love to see more pics from folks who've recently gotten their skis and I can't wait to hear from folks who've actually skied them.

Let me be the first to give a

to all those who will surely come in here with a bunch of useless opinionated BS.

would it be fair to ask you to delete this thread and repost in tech talk where it belongs?

**santaclaus** · 11-16-2009, 06:59 PM

^^that just knocked the wind out of the sails

he's got a point, if you want to do it right. its an easy fix.

If it's to be a pure review thread, then it belongs in tech talk. But if this thread is about the company, their business model, etc, then it seems like it's fine here.

The original thread was here so I will leave it, as its not so much a review thread but more about how the 333skis saga continues... this could revolutionize how we all buy skis, If sucessful all ski manufacturers will have to step up their game

I think the premise and the idea are fantastic, I can't wait to hear how the skis ride!

Although all has run smoothly up to this point, I can pretty much guarantee there will be bugs. Here's to hoping that Michael can work them out and maintain his sanity in the meantime. Best of luck brotha.

Oh yeah, and here's to fucking Cummerteeth's mom. Macho style.

Now about Wheels' avatar... Dare I ask?

**skifishbum** · 11-16-2009, 08:58 PM

I never posted in the original thread and I'm glad cause I hate when fuckers delete threads.
Never been a fan of cap skis myself and always felt you get what you pay for so new skis for $333 probably aren't gonna be to sweet. I wish the dude the best to me it seems as though his youtube sideshow marketing is as important as actually producing product. Seems kind of like a big pipe dream.
Fuck it though load that pipe up take another hit make another video and keep living the dream brother.

you're not the kind of customer TGR is looking for. Or 333skis

Sorry, did I miss something? Did you get a PM from the OP Todd? I didn't really see where he's whining about moderation. Don't get me wrong please, I'm just curious is all.

Bummer, you missed a fairly epic thread. Hopefully this one goes somewhere. I there's some folks who got skis already- let's have those pictures back.

**wheels** · 11-17-2009, 09:59 AM

OK Wheels, enough with the onesey-twosey; Here's the YouTube 333 skis channel-

http://www.youtube.com/user/333skis

All of the videos are available there, AFAIK.

**TheDon** · 11-17-2009, 10:17 AM

Cool way to get the skis you've always wanted but never seen...

**todug27** · 11-17-2009, 10:28 AM

ok so if he now has 4 employees, how is he making any money on 333 dollar skis, or 222 dollar skis? The less expensive materials explanation made sense when it was just him, but now that he has to pay others, I can't imagine he's making any money. Are the employees even being paid?

I personally think the business aspect of the first thread was far more interesting than the skis itself. To see if someone can make money through building skis on solar power in the desert is a pretty cool thing.
