Today's award goes to Dave O'Hanlon, founder of Phantom skis, who have made a new short fat ski called the Crystal Ship. Here's his spiel:
| Quote: |
| “The Phantom Ski will allow beginners to ski powder like an expert,” says Dave O’Hanlon, founder of Phantom Skis. “I’ve watched people ski in deep powder for the first time on these skis, and they look like they’ve been skiing powder for years. |
Congratulations! What prize do we award Mr O'Hanlon?

The radical sidecut thing (further on in the hype) looks and sounds like the Zag to me. Which came first?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's no big deal, I've been skiing powder for years and it still looks the first time... or am I missing the point ?

The Zag, PG do think we could get some demo Zags for the gathering, after all they are made in BSM.

Obviously... these skis not only make you ski like an expert in powder from day one (I'm with ise on this one) but they are also immune from avalanches, death-by-cliff, or any other danger or incompetence.
"Our skis are so floaty you can surf the meanest avalanche - and if you do get tumbled don't worry cos your mates will find your skis on the surface and be able to dig you out with them. For those craggy off-piste descents, they also fly... "
