Meier Skis — Attraction in Denver

I hadn't heard of Meier before but heard about the deal Sunlight resort was doing with the skis Meier made. I checked out their website, liked what I saw and also saw they did tours. So, my wife, son and I visited them and even though their space is still being built out, had an event later that evening, and a newspaper reporter was on the way, they gave us a great tour. We got to see how things are done and was very impressed. We're going to demo the skis this weekend and looking forward to trying them! I'll report back how they did but based on the care that went into them, and how light they feel, I am anticipating good things.

I'm back after our outing at Loveland on January 21st. We both tried the Quickdraws and went all over the mountain and were extremely happy on how the skis performed. On top of the mountain, in the ungroomed areas, they floated so well and I had so much control it was uncanny. On the front-side, they carved great even in the hard pack areas, so just an awesome all around ski. My son is due for a new pair of skis and likes these very much. I tried them also and hope I'll be able to treat myself at some point. ...

This season is going to be my 4th season on Meiers and I've never been disappointed! I used to ski The Doc and the Double Barrel. Docs were perfect for charging in and out of bounds because they are super stable at high speed no matter how the conditions are. If I wanted to go on a ski trip and bring only one pair with me, Docs were my first pick. The Double Barrels are surprisingly light for how big they are and they float like no other skis do. They are just stiff enough to be super responsive when you get out of your turns. Great for pillow lines because you’ll never sink and face plant on you landing! Love them. Ringos and Quickdraw both carve super well, but I prefer taking the ringos out just in case I want to hit the park for a couple laps. They also have a similar flex, which is fun for all around skiing, but they could be a little bit stiffer for icy conditions like what I ski inbounds in Quebec. Heritage Tour is the best touring ski I have ever owned! Each turn is better than the previous one! They are so smooth they make you feel like your gliding down the mountain. You have to try them on a powder day....

This was a very strange experience and I will not be returning to Meier anytime soon. I dropped off two pairs of skis after waiting 20 minutes for a frazzled employee to stop walking around while another employee stood there watching me while drinking his beverage. I was not given any kind of receipt and the employee said he would email it to me instead. I was told I would have to wait 7 days for the skis to be tuned up because they needed a little extra base repair. Then I received a call the very next morning stating my snowboard was ready to pick up. What? I didn't drop off a snowboard. Then another call a few minutes later to tell me my skis were done, but that they can't find them right now and one pair was not repaired. I was told that if I pay an extra $40, I could have the wax stripped down, do the repair, then re-wax them. What a strange way to do business. Oh wait, there was one more catch, I had to wait another 7 days. Wait a minute? These guys make skis from scratch? There's no way I'm getting on a...
