These skis would not be good for beginners. These skis are for huckin cliffs in the deep pow,backcountry,and skiing monster lines. I you are a beginner looking for a freestyle ski, i suggest looking at an all mountain twin tip because those carve well for turns and can be good for freestyle.

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2011

These were the best gloves I have ever owned. I went night skiing at squaw valley in the 15 degree temperatures, and never got cold. Once, I accidentally got snow in the glove, and within 10 minutes they were toasty again.

The color of the leather got darker, but when dried, it went back to normal. Is this normal?

Should you put the leather polisher on every day, or every few days?
