Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

graeme, I met Tom Pinches eighteen months ago when I started supplying Fork Trees with Quiver Killer inserts & had the opportunity to look over his range of skis, all of which exhibited excellent build quality. Tom's new shop in C1650 (The Boot Lab) had a great first season. Tom hand builds his skis to order in the UK over the summer before heading of to the 3V for the winter so I'd get an order in asap. Wouldn't have thought he's ever made anything under 160cm wink

Totally wrong to compare Fork Tree to 333, even with a winky.

spyderjon, They look really nice - but it's the same kind of individual bespoke operation isn't it... just hugely better and not from some weird bloke in the parking lot at a ski hill near you...

stoat of the dead, when you say it like that then yes. However they are a million miles apart. FT's are made by an individual using the components & processes as per a large manufacturer. 333's were not & were basically junk.

Bit like comparing a GP to a faith healer wink

According to Tom's website they start at £475. His carbon lay up's will compete with the likes of PM Gear & DPS etc.

I've only seen them but not skied them but they look great. Production is about 50 pairs per summer so there's only a few hundered pairs out there max. Tom is a pro level freerider/freeheeler & IIRC studied manufacturing/engineering etc. He even built his own hydraulic press! The trick when ordering is to accurately state your requirements, ability & skis you like/dislike etc & he'll do the rest. Oh, & he looks like Jesus so you're in safe hands!

Just for the record I've no commercial interest in Fork Tree other than supplying them & his shop with Quiver Killer inserts.
