Personal statement from Rick Paris, the owner.

I have had the misfortune to have suffered from a severe form of Arthritis since the age of 17. This has left my spine fused and pretty immobile. Very painful too. Throughout this time I have skied, as I fell in love with the sport. It has been difficult to carry on skiing during these periods but I did although my ski technique got worse as I grew older and as the illness robbed me of more movement.

I discovered short skis but accident several years ago and they transformed my skiing overnight. I was able to ski as well as I had ever done. So they are not just for people with bad backs, they are perfect skis for adults and teenagers and they are very easy to carve and turn being only 2/3rds the size of normal skis. They are perfect for nervous beginners who don't like the feel of "long skis" and "Fun" for adventurous intermediates and advanced skiers who to explore the whole mountain and enjoy ski the bumps.  These short skis and blades put the fun back into skiing instantly.

We import about 50 pairs each season, blades and skis. By the time I had gotten around to updating this site last season we had sold most of our stock, as they are always popular, below are some of the pictures and prices, call me for anymore details.
