This one might just turn out to be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tetongravity.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=160115\">GEM.<\/a>  Basically, an experienced ski builder is selling skis for $333 and building them out of a trailer he tows around Mammoth, CA.  He&#8217;s doing some things differently, speeding up the process, using different materials, and keeping his overhead down.  You can choose your ski dimensions, stiffness, and amount of rocker, all for $333.  Of course, if that&#8217;s too much for you, you can buy a test pair for $222, which don&#8217;t come with graphics or as long of a warranty.  In an age where mass produced skis sell for at least double that price, and sometimes triple for a custom model, I can&#8217;t help but wish this guy success.  My friend Tom went ahead and ordered a pair, so hopefully he&#8217;ll get them soon enough to test them out and give a review.  Of course, only time will tell if the skis last or not as well.  But if they do, at those prices I&#8217;ll have a ski for every day and every condition, plus a few more just to hang on the wall \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>For more information, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/333skis.com\/\">333 Skis<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And if anyone has actually gotten their hands on a pair, let us know what you think&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Searching through the TGR forums is like being a miner- there&#8217;s an awful lot of junk to go through just<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gear"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":477,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476\/revisions\/477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
