Shoot an email to Jordan to confirm but my guess would be they can create a pointier tip for old-school skins with tip loops. Last night I mounted up the K2 Sidestash with an NTN second ski kit for comparison. Colorado has been in a dry spell for awhile but we have 8 inches here today so hopefully testing will commence soon!

It seems that they were able to do a flat tail for you (backcountry friendly), but are they able to change the shape/profile of that big round tip? Maybe something a little more directional (pointed) that would hold a skin loop better or is that not possible. I'm a directional (old school) ski shape fan and owned a pair of Seth Pistols/Hippy Stinx. I hated that big round front tip with studs that kept the tip loops from holding well. I am really interested in some Folsom's and can't wait for your review! Kevin Clyde,
