bluehouse skis

[Daedalus]

Can anyone tell me why bluehouse is able to sell their skis for such low prices? I've seen other independent ski companies in the five hundred range but their well below that

They use a special magnetic core that keeps costs down. Magical magnets.

[MMP]

how do magnets work?

[Wandrin*]

Magnets are a one-way vortex from heaven. That is why you can put one on your wrist and suddenly feel so perfect. Just don't wear that thing backwards!

Oh, and Bluehouse leaves out the expensive parts.

They're made in a Jamaican sweatshop owned by T Hall.

Though counter-intuitive, sensamilla core much cheaper material than wood...

I sent a friend request HERE but you should create a fan page. Unless I just wasn't able to find it.

...do you carry Bluehouse skis though?

[skifishbum]

I would need to see what if any, having wasatch ski bums make their skis, has on the quality in the past its been pretty laughable.
I do know wasatch ski bums have more soul per person than an entire factoy of chinese workers.
I like soul in my skis

Bases on my MRs suck, topsheet not so great. Decent rock ski though.

Hahahahahaha. The irony is killing me. Hahahahahah.

Ive got Shoots and Mavens and my brother has Mavens and they have been great.
Yeah they are made in China(with some production moving to SLC) but there are other companies that manufacture there that charge twice the price.
My best answer to your question is your not paying for dealer markups, not paying for reps to push to said dealers, and not paying athlete salaries.
There have been a couple quality issues along the way(which they have fixed), and they are definetly not sailing that boat alone, but if you do have a problem you will have an easier time dealing with it because their cust. service is top notch.

Bamboo vs ash and poplar and communism helps too

You aren't very discriminating, are you?

[tuco]

You aren't very discriminating, are you?

You don't ask very meaningful questions, do you?

[RTR]

...they have been great. (referring to mavens and shoots)

Not my experience, at all.

All this stimulating debate aside, Maestro's fucking rock.

That is all, carry on.

yep yep, fun cheap skis
don't care about top sheet chipping
everything else is not bad, love mine

[stuckathuntermtn]

It's very simple, they make (or at least made) skis in China, which is nothing unusual, but instead of charging $700+ or almost twice that if you're dps and you're so core because you just figured out carbon fiber, they pass the savings on to you. Which is awesome. None of there shapes really did it for me, since I like a smaller turning radius, but I think the company is awesome for doing that (and my Rubies were a gift(and made in the usa)(damn, Dragons Breath is strong))

[Leftyt]

I love my Mavens fun tele ski that turns quick and easy! The Districts were just ok and that is why they are gone.

[Hugh Conway]

my Shoots sucked and were far from "great" even at the brolicious $325 or whatever

[cliffhucker]

Cheap and heavy, but they ride alright. Thing is one of my shoots is about 3 mm wider than the other. I like them because I don't feel bad when I hit rocks
