Re: Top sheet designs
Man I don’t know about all these skis with peoples portraits on them. I think id start getting kinda creeped out after awhile having someone staring back at me while I was skiing. Then I’d start talking to them, give them a name, a backstory… maybe I’m just weird :shrug:
Many years ago a ski company had a contest where you designed your own top sheet and if yours won they would make it. I came up with a bunch of my own designs. I wonder if I still have them laying around somewhere…
EDIT: Found them
I guess it was a G3/Backcountry Magazine contest... I wonder who ever ended up winning? It was back in 2015

At 210cm, he has to be the tallest hobbit.
I think I like the older colorful portrait top sheets better, especially the red Amundsen.
Not going to get that ski though, since I already have a Sondre Nordheim and a Gamme, and if I get anything else in that class it would probably be something that will turn more easily in variable snow conditions, like the Børge Ousland.

Re: Top sheet designs
Yep - the "Green Man" rocks....
I spent a year holding off buying some Gammes, hoping for a top-sheet re-design,
but then, I found a used pair of Green Man. So, all is good. ;-P

Asnes Nansen
It's like this creepy ghost guy is staring and judging my telemark turns.

Re: Top sheet designs
Absolutely. What do you know about their construction/materials? Are they good skis, or just beautiful works of art?xcdnewb0313 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 6:13 pmAll of these skis are gorgeous
