Meier Prospector 106 Skis

by The Editors October 1, 2019 Leave a Comment

“Great float for a 106, stable and refuses to deflect at speed despite its light nature,”

The Tech: Eco consciousness lies at the heart of Meier Skis’ mission, and the Prospector 106 is no exception. Literally at its core: 100-percent Colorado-sourced aspen and beetle-kill pine that Meier chose for its playfulness on the descent. They also replace traditional epoxy with a proprietary “supersap” bio-based resin to weld this ski’s layers together.

The Talk: Testers enjoyed the Prospector 106’s stability. “Great float for a 106, stable and refuses to deflect at speed despite its light nature,” one tester said.” Another commented, “Light, quick, stable and versatile, the Prospector 106 was a blast in all conditions.”

: ERIC BLEHM: MEET YOUR HEROES
Eric Blehm’s roots in snowboarding run deep. He started riding during the sport’s infancy, and after college became an editor at Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine. Years later, he was in a lift line when a fellow rider saw the “Craig Kelly is my Co-Pilot” sticker on his board, and asked Blehm: “Who is Craig Kelly?” He was floored by the notion that there were snowboarders out there who didn’t know who Craig was. And this inspired him to write The Darkest White.
