New Ski's

Both Jack and Henry have grown quite a bit in the past year-plus, so they have outgrown their skis and needed new ones. Both picked out more unique skis offered online. Jack's were shipped to us; Henry's were made by a shop in Portland. We were headed to Oregon for a weekend, so we decided to stop in the shop and pick them up. It's called ON3P, and it's a small hole-in-the-wall in an industrial park, but they are well regarded for their skis. When we came by to pick them up they gave us a tour of their manufacturing facility so we could see how they start with a flat sheet of bamboo and turn it into the finished products that can be skied on. Very neat!
