Looking for a poster

**BmillsSkier** · 02-06-2023, 02:16 PM

Welp, strike 1 with the artist. He's not allowed to sell a copy.

Fingers crossed I have better luck with the Vail Valley Foundation.

If anyone knows someone over there and wouldn't mind pinging them I'd certainly appreciate it!

Give Ross a holler. He's a super solid guy who might be able to help you out.

Cool posters, Aldo. And nice pics. Where is the club lodge?

His own apartment? Did he get a promo from the fry station to Asst. Night manager?

I was wondering about this but assume in his engagement he has standard works made for hire provisions regarding the project and its ownership.

Curious though as it’s prominently on his website.

Vail Valley Foundation for the win! Big shoutout to them who dug one up for me and are sending me one for the cost of shipping. Must be a Mag or two over there.

**ötzi** · 02-07-2023, 01:08 PM

I always love a happy ending.

**BmillsSkier** · 02-07-2023, 01:13 PM

We don't get enough of them around here so yeah, I'll take the W.

**Core Shot** · 02-07-2023, 03:41 PM

So. The assfinder is next?

That story needs closure.

Went through my weekly web sweep of listings just this morning.

**bennymac** · 02-07-2023, 06:19 PM

I had a poster of ?Coombs dropping the cliff of Corbet's on my wall in 1995 - where can I find that?

It may have been a "No Fear" poster

or maybe it was just a page torn outta powder mag

or maybe I'm thinking of the "On this rock I build my church" K2 poster

my memory is fuzzy

I had that one right up there next to Plake and Mahre's "Extremely Different" and Scot Schmidt launching the cliff in his K2 Extremes, Solly F9 rear-entry boots, Solly bindings and full Steep Tech TNF setup. I was never a K2 guy but man those guys were rad as shit in the early to mid-90s. I'd love to have all 3 of those posters back.

**BmillsSkier** · 02-19-2023, 05:16 PM

In hands last week with a follow up email from my new friend at the VVF. Off to my super awesome and insanely fast (and cheap) framer before soccer on Saturday morning and back in my hands before lunch. Very happy.

Holla, I can help you mags with this.

And in that short era,(long lengths, early shaped skis) K2 were pretty awesome except for the delam issues, which k2 replaced a fuckton of anyway.

**bennymac** · 02-19-2023, 08:42 PM

I delammed mine by going too big on a backscratcher and blowing right past the tabletop landing - drove the tips into the flat snow on landing and they exploded open like a blooming onion. Probably why decades later my knees hurt when it rains.

^ this story is more fitting of the "looking for a poser" thread

Hell yeah they did. We had one dude at our home hill that made it his job to get new K2 Extremes by de-lamming them.

I think it was 1993 when I went from Atomic 533ce hot pink (lead weight) bump skis (with equally heavy Tyrollia “Free Flow” bindings) to my fist pair of Solly Force 9s (this of course coming after de-lamming my Dynastar Vertical Assaults prior to that).

Stayed in the Solly Force/1080 for 20+ years till they quit making them (and still rock/ed Lab CR Johnson’s) Zero delams in all of those boards.

A cheap framer who does nice work fast. I haven't heard of that before.

Ice. I hadn’t either. And I’ve got a Czech framer in my immediayfamily too.

They’re an Indian family.

Quality work.

Want you in and out of their shit as fast as possible.

They also own the marble/granite/Formica stone shop next door so maybe that’s the money maker.
