What skis would you buy for your REV?

Please help me understand. Mods was a BC based company at one point. A US company bought rights and brought them back? I'm not claiming anything, only a question.

Metal tops with plastic bottoms. The one's I saw had identical plastic bottoms to the Ekholm II's of yesteryear. Can't tell you which version I saw but the guy had em on an XP.

I swear these are the skis I saw on his XP. And they look amazingly similar to the ones I had on my '97. Amazingly similar. So does the logo that they still use. The turndown looks to be more aggressive than before, and vs. the Ekholm II's. But who am I to say? Reading the "About Us" re-affirms that this is infact the same ski I've seen since the late 90's. Or at least the latest variation of it.

Correct. And, FWIW, I've tried all the skis listed extensively except for gen III Simmons and Slydogs and Mods far FAR outperforms them all on a REV for mtn riding because of their ease of countersteer initiation and ability to hold a sidehill without losing any directional stability (the beauty of a tri-keel design). Powder Pros with Carl's cutout comes in a distant second.

Have FUN!

Just wondering...LET ME KNOW!!!
