Price police help please Garage Skis
*** Sale Pending***
I have a pair of SLC Handmade in LCC Garage skis. I'm sure many of you have heard of these but they are hard to come by.
I rode them a few times and love them.
120 underfoot with a seemingly long turn radius.
I can measure the dimensions later when I list them.
Less than 10 days use on them, twice mounted. Currently mounted with a 13 DIN marker Griffon demo binding to give freedom to find the "sweet spot".
9/10 condition.
Length is a 186~ looks about one cm shorter than my Hoji's that are a 187.Last edited by TheDon; 10-20-2014 at 02:55 AM.

yeah those graphics are slick, and I have heard of them, but only "locally". Know nothing about who's making them, where, or of what materials. From the distant pics the construction looks solid. Do they have full wrap edges?

So most of what I know about the ski is hard to find, rumors and rumblings. Layup feels solid but I don't exactly know what it is. Side wall construction with an edge free tip and tail ( for weight I'm sure). Here is where I found my info. Warranty, doubt it but Chris is a good dude if they blew up he might sell you another pair with a discount or something, if you can find him. I got these from and old roommate of his. Never talked to Chris Collins myself.
Here, you see Chris skiing them, different graphic but looks close to the same:

This is the artist that did the graphics, a really cool style IMO. Click on the pics to scroll through them:

I saw a few pair of these skis at Inkline, fondled it for a while enough that I would consider buying a pair.

I have a pair of Garage skis as well. I can attest to them being well made, and well designed. I think I have the exact pair from the video TheDon posted, or an identical looking pair at least. They are pretty amazing.
I don't know what the dimensions on TheDon's pair are, but mine are something around 140-120-130, with a 5 point sidecut and profile that reminds me of a more directional JJ. Slightly more tip, and less tail. TheDons are definitely newer than mine though, and the general dimensions look different.

I think you can order these through Tim @ Twin Peaks. I know he does the tunes(or at least used too)on the new skis.

Unique ski. Hard to come by. Love the performance. Locally on the connect. Well made. Minty. Yet selling for $375? Sounds fishy.

Doremite what sounds fishy? Maybe I'm missing what you're saying, but Climber Joe's comments were unsolicited and he confirmed the construction/performance. Plus look at my profile man, I've been here long enough I know not to try to hose someone. That will just end bad for me.

Bump for bad topsheet joke. I actually think someone should jump on these.
