Hey bro , exciting that you ' re gonna be working in Japan . I ' ve been living here for the past few years . I ' ve always liked the look of skilogik skis , but never tried them . In a funny synchronicity , I was just in Asahikawa and happened to see some skilogik skis at a store called Shugakuso which also has an online buying system through Rakuten though mostly in Japanese . What you were riding sounds like it ' d great for here , though from memory the ones here might not have been the cheapest , I ' ll have a search and see what I can find . Skis tend to be cheaper stateside than here , though sometime specials work out well . Looking at your dimensions , they ' re pretty similar to what I ski . Perhaps you want the more unique graphic and boutique business vibe , I can dig it , but I ' ve been riding the K 2 shreditor 120 147120141 and love ' em . Sometimes they ' re also listed as a Pettitor as they ' re Pettit ' s pro model . I have the 2015 model , but besides the topsheet , there appears to be very little difference between 2016 and 2017 . Like I said , I ' ll have a look for the skilogiks for ya . Or if your Japanese is ok . Have a search yourself . Good luck . EDIT Had a look on rakuten . co . jp and amazon . co . jp and while they have them , they ' re not cheap . I called the store in Asahikawa but alas even those were around US $ 1000 , so nothing that I would consider affordable coming up on this side of the pacific .
