I looked at their website when you first posted about them. They look like they make some nice skis. Unfortunately there are a lot of European indie ski cos that make skis that have specs that look fantastic. But specs mean little when it comes down to a how a ski skis. The Head SS Titan is a great example. The specs look amazing. 80 underfoot with a super tight radius. What's their not to love. But we know from HH and others that have skied it that its too stiff and can't be bent so it teaches people to ride the tight sidecut.
I am not saying that these new Kneissel skis might not be great. And we will all love you for ordering a pair and playing guinea pig so you can tell us how they are. But know before you order that they may actually not be good.
Having said all this, the new owners of the Kneissel name have spent some money wisely, because you already view their start up ski company in a positive light. I think we can all say that was money well spent by them to purchase the name. But none of this means their skis are any good (which isn't to say that they aren't, we just don't know).
Balance: Essential in skiing and in life!
