PM Gear Kusala pow

[Chugachjed]

Got a couple pair of Kusala blems I'll be listing soon in case anyone wants a pair for almost half price.

.......fack. I just bought new touring boots.

[splat]

Tried out this darker graphic topsheet for the carbon Kusalas.
Was wondering what you guys think of the color scheme?

[JRainey]

Murdered Out. Any variation on those vs the previous carbons you showed off?

[Chugachjed]

Looks good. I wish there was a lighter color available, the black top sheet can gather a lot of snow.

[splat]

That's what I'm thinking. They have that carbon on steel look, which is cool, but I'm thinking of adding more background that's still transparent to the carbon for this year to prevent solar heating.

Murdered Out. Any variation on those vs the previous carbons you showed off?

No, but I did some regular hybrids with the carbon on this pair of blems for sale in gs and it appears to reduce both weight and flex. I have yet to use it on an all carbon pair but expect it to soften the flex and reduce weight because although the weave is roughly the same weight as the 45/45 in the carbons above, it seems to require less resin saturation.

[JRainey]

I think a mylar top sheet would be the most effective for keeping the ski cold.

Think about it.

White topsheet, with the graphic & text "cut out" making windows to show the carbon beneath.

[BaNosser]

Can't quite tell by the pic.. but I bet those look sic in person.. kinda like a stealth carbon roadie..



tho personally.. I'm partial to the blue..

[JRainey]

Yeah, the blue is pretty hawt.

[pfluffenmeister]

i like my blue 191 Fats.


the black topsheets do get hot, but that exposed carbon is awful puuurdy.

[Spyderjon]

i like my blue 191 Fats....that exposed carbon is awful puuurdy.

+1. I've a few different models/lengths in the shop with various coloured transfers over the exposed carbon & they all look superb but the blue 191 LP/Fat is a real stunner.

White topsheet, with the graphic & text "cut out" making windows to show the carbon beneath.

Wouldn't want to lose that in the powder, but could be cool.

[MTT]

I like the White graphic best / Followed by the Blue.

The more graphic bloating out the Carbon, the Less I like it.
All that Tibetan shit all over the ski? You could lose that and no one would complain

LESS IS MORE when you Have Black Carbon

[racesla]

Speak for yourself.

[kevino]

Excited to bring another pair to the great PNW...we should do a summer ski get together on baker or something

My Kusalas are the blue graphics on black and real purdy.
They will see some action next week at Cerro Castor!

[Pierre LeCouloir]

I just realized that it's been a couple years since I bought something from PM Gear. Gonna have to change that this summer.

Yo, Master! Don't forget to look up Matthias and tell anyone who recognizes the skis I said hi.

Pierre - Kusalas. Seriously.

[masterofgreenbeans]

Will do Splat.
I have demo griffons on em for sharing with bro and friends as well as ease of travel for multiple pairs. So I can share with mags in SA too if needed. Be in Cerro Castor next week then Bariloche for a few wks then Las Lenas for a month, Portillo, Arpa, Valle Nevado. woo hoo.....keep snowing!! SA quiver On3P Viciks, DPS112RP, Kusala POW! I cant wait to get the Kusalas in some deeper fresh. From riding them on late season Mammoth corn only I have a feeling Im gonna love em even more.

Fuck....did you win the Lotto or what?

[masterofgreenbeans]

Fuck....did you win the Lotto or what?

Absolutely, I was born in the USofFKNA!

fixed it.

[pfluffenmeister]

^^^ that and green bean futures are WAY up.

[otto parts]

Thought it was mastery that was WAY down.
Hey dood-have fun!

[Lindahl]

Sexy time.

Stiff blems. Noticably stiffer in tip and tail than the 191 Billygoats, similar underfoot. 10lbs for the pair. Should be a SICK ski. Can't wait to get on them.
