Unity Skis, Not Snowboards

Unity is a company that, until now, only made snowboards. Their entrance into the ski industry is going to be big— literally. Their new line just got pressed, and I had the chance to see some of the skis up close and personal last week. The new range of Unity skis span from a 175 park ski with dimensions 121-86-111 (for those of you who don’t know, that refers to 121 mm at the tip of the ski, 86 mm at the waist, and 111 mm at the tail– it always helps to think of a pair of skis as a woman) to the massive Trevor Hiatt Twin with a colossal figure measuring 155-140-155– the photo here doesn’t even come close to doing the size of the ski justice. Lets just say the Hiatt big mountain powder ski is eating three or more very big meals per day (possibly from McDonalds). The things look like they’re made for use in water; maybe that’s why one ski has a mountain on it, and one has a huge wave on it. All Unity skis have P-Tex Sidewalls, Full-Length Maple Wood Cores, and Kevlar Damping in the tip and tail, thoughtful features that took the Unity engineers and athletes a full three years to develop. As far as cost, I don’t know what to tell you– best bet is to track down a Unity dealer and ask them.
