I had the privilege to help and build my own custom powder skis with Ben Sidor at the Coop Ski Works shop that is based in Great Falls, MT. Ben recently moved to Kalispell, but is still making skis. Coop Skis are known for their carbon fiber versions that are super light weight. I...on the other hand wanted a ski that was more substantial for running the bullwheel occasionally too. We made a fiberglass version for me. This video was the first time skiing the Coop's. Boots are the Lange Free Tour LV with Marker Kingpins that are very solid for downhill. The conditions were variable with some ice underneath, fresh pow falling all day and mogul madness that hasn't been right since the Christmas crowds. Just another spoiled weekday at Showdown, Montana with the huge crowds. Great skis!!!!
