Poster: A snowHead

Just out of interest wondering if anyone has bought any storm skis and if so what models and what do you think?

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

I think you're asking the question - is it worth me stocking them as a retailer?
I'd say yes, the David brothers seem to have been pretty proactive in demoing them in the UK and IME they are pretty nice skis. There is obviously an education piece for you as a retailer to do for a punter who walks in expecting to buy a pair of Solly or Rossi though.

I'm running with the storms for another year but haven't sold a single pair this year...you wonder how much u can support a brand if it doesn't sell! its just a rack space issue! haha
fatbob, I agree they seem to be working hard plugging the brand but I'm not seeing it come as sales, I must admit I haven't had chance to ski the skis (way too much to do on ski tests) but they look like they will work... To me they don't look like punter friendly skis though... they are top end...people that buy top end skis know what they want and come in and buy it!
Ahh well!

I demoed the Inferno and liked them very much. Way over my budget though.

apart from supporting the (British) little guy, why should I buy these over, say, some Dynastars?
for me, they fall between two stools - too "niche" for fatbob's guy expecting to buy some sollies or rossis; but nothing really interesting about them to attract someone after a top end ski away from the dynstars, rossis and volkls of the world. that's my view as someone potentially interested in freeride/offpiste skis but it's probably the same for more piste orientated skis. and they have fugly graphics

Not a very experienced skier but I demo'd the Rage though and loved them, feel a bit old for twin tips, however if I see them in the sales I would probably go for them!

I am intending to buy a pair, i demoed the infernos and loved them but cant justify them just yet . . . just had a bonus at work though . . . the temptation may get too great to resist for much longer
