It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

“E-skimo”? Really?

This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while.

  • The skis are going to be very heavy
  • Sucks to be you if you don't like the design or feel of them.
  • The skis have holes in them for the tracks
  • The tracks don't add much help given that skins have little forward resistance.
  • I suspect that the skis will do very poorly in powder conditions.
