  Amazing stuff. Love the pink logo as well. Nice touch.

  @punkture I do like to charge.

  Have a pair of mantras which are totally bombproof and ski like a fat GS ski, they are unreal at holding an edge at speed, with pretty much zero chatter. Pretty good for all over the hill but they were frustrating in powder as you really had to work to keep the tips up, despite the width and a really slight tip rocker. So the atris were my solution for going fatter and floatier, but still being able to rip up all over the hill. Was a family trip last year (with two year old) so never really got to test them out as much as I'd have liked but for a few wee hikes and some freshies, they were superb.

  Quite liked them on piste but a different vibe to the mantras. They feel like they can stop on a dime, totally precise edging, you really have to drive them as well (don't know if its my style or just the skis, but this feels totally natural on them), while the atris are nowhere near as directional. Was fun to be back popping off features a bit more though.

  Well in. I've got the same set up.

  What length did you go for?

  174cm and I went for the 189.

  Just ordered a couple of bags from plot; the bale mountain and the rancho dantas.

  So we offered to cover out staff for the jab as we have done every year.

  Can't get it booked in anywhere. Completely "sold out" for want of a better phrase. We work with a huge turnover of people from all over, and in some varying degrees at times of destitution or cramped living, - we represent refugees and asylum seekers - so feel it's part of our duty of care to offer it.

  Only 12 days late (must get a new watch!) but this is lovely.

  I have the M, great on bike fit (as in road riding) for winter but I'm not sure it isn't going to be a little on the tight side for commuting. 5'8 and 38" chest (but broad shoulders).
