MAJESTY
Your first experience with skis.
SAKI HAYASHI
The first time I tried skiing I was 9 on my summer holiday visiting Japan and went to Mt Naeba on the border between Nagano and Niigata prefectures. I knew that I would be back as soon as I got on skis. But it is a long way from the snowy mountains in Turntable falls, Australia.

Why Majesty?
SAKI HAYASHI
I found a discounted pair of 175cm lumberjacks in a shop in ogawamachi Tokyo and they looked like the perfect ski for popping, slashing and buttering around niseko. I mounted them up and they have been a blast! I have been trying out different shapes by majesty ever since.
MAJESTY
