SkiLogik Isis tt 165 (2013-2014 model)
dimensions: 136-92-122, twin tip configuration
turn radius: 15 @ 165
lots of camber under foot
Graphics: To Die For - inlaid wood and mother of pearl, black locust sidewalls
Mounted with Salomon STH10 @ recommended center
Pilot: Skinny beanpole senior - but with guts and muscle memory?
Years skiing: many
Ability: Some days I’m the bug, some days I’m the windshield
Other skis: Dynastar Eden 165, Nordica Wild Belle 162
So it’s only been a few days so far on these.
Here to report that the brand will probably always be indy/boutique - but - oh, the graphics : ) These are performance skis.
Okay - these are wider than my usual low to mid 80's all-mountain. Just bigger all around, except for the length. My general MO is - just go ski.
These are rock-solid performers, with a preference for anything loose or crud, and they plow through it. I don’t have much mass to do this, so I compensate with speed : ) At cruising speeds, these boards are giant slayers. I even ventured into the far edge of some sizable bumps - the tail configuration helped me release what is typically a non-wonderful exit. On harder snow, I saw no response difference versus my other skis.
The turn radius of 15 for a ski of these dimensions is surprising - but true to specs. I could really throw these around in short radius with some muscle and effort. Edging was spectacular - as good as any mid-low 80's I’ve tried. Speed limit: haven’t opened them up big - yet. No metal - all wood and carbon fiber construction.
The SkiLogik line-up is highly varied in terms of camber-rocker configuration offerings - and all graphics are inlaid wood and gorgeous. Custom graphics are an add-on expense - but are reasonable. Examples of their custom work is on the website. Not many ski companies offer this option. Full custom flex and specs are also available, at a $$price$$.
I’d put them roughly in the same category as the former Nordica Hell’s Belles in terms of performance characteristics, appropriate skill level and terrain/snow preference. Possibly Ramp Chickadee, although I’ve not been on those.
Good for a very strong intermediate and up, someone with some mass and muscle to help the skis tackle the piles that sometimes throw other skis around. I will use them on my more energetic days - when I know there will be some leftover snow to get through - and I’ve eaten my Wheaties. Waiting on some freshies for that test — I plan on making these my “light powder” skis.

Forgot about that, haven't changed it in a few years. Should.
