Here's an email I just sent to Keith, I thought I'd paste it here for additional advice:
I bought the original Wootest from you when it came out, it's been great but seems weird at speed. I'm...

PM sent, bear with me if I don't reply right away

Thanks. I found Blister's review of the Explore. Unfortunately the cuff is lower than the Lab cuff, kind of a deal breaker for me. Let us know if you do any toe punches on the Lab.

Gregl and Swissific, any experience with MTN Explore? My big toe always hits the front of boots, and my calves are skinny, so I'm torn between 27.5 and 28.5. Wondering if an extreme toe punch in the...

Does everyone have poor reading comprehension, or is it just me? Sounds like too little delta is putting her in the backseat, not too much delta? Speed Radical has less delta than Comfort or Vertical...

has anybody in this thread skied both the BD Quadrant and the Maestrale RS?

Thanks for the input. Why do you think they ski better? Right now I have Skookums, and I sorta hate 'em, they're a little packed out and my heel moves too much. I had Radiums before, I loved how they...

Can anyone compare on snow differences between Maestrale RS and BD Quadrant? Marshal, can you give me the link to your boot construction rant?

I tried the Maestrale RS today, no play like the Maestrale.

I just tried on some Maestrales and BD Quadrants side by side. I definitely noticed the "play before flex" you're talking about in the Maestrale, and I've noticed that for years in all the Scarpa...

same binding except for brakes and baseplates. baseplates necessary because the brake unit is thick and they needed to raise the boot up to fit the brake under there. delta is slightly greater on...

As far as skiing goes, you are probably right, i don't have enough experience on these modern rockered, tapered profiles. The deep snow i skied has a bottomless deep facet layer that collapses a...

Kidwoo, I'm just saying don't mount it beyond 101.5cm back from tip straight pull, it's probably gonna start to wheelie when skiing, and really suck for skinning unless you have huge feet. The magic...

telemarkers will be screwed trying to get a good balancing mounting point on these skis, sucks for them! I once toured with a guy telemarking on S7's and it was pathetic, he couldn't get his tip off...

My bsl is 313, Scarpa Skookum where the tech fittings are mounted a few mm further back than other boots. I see why you ask, I hadn't thought of that. So if you have longer bsl than 313mm, you...

This is the fattest ski I've ever been on, so i can't speak to how it floats compared to those others mentioned. It floats way better than my original Gotamas! In SW Montana today I skied 6 inches...

the mounting dimple was at about 99.5 cm straight pull from the tip on my skis (187) so i mounted 1.5 cm back from there to achieve almost 101.5 from tip, per Kidwoos suggestion. I thought Keith was...

not really illiterate, i just didn't understand his math. you guys are so mean.

Sorry, please educate me. He didn't specify in the recent post with the 101.5. suck it

101.5 from the tip on which version- 187 or 196?

Thanks for the reply. I guess no news is good news, the other websites haven't reported any problems with the new pins either.

Right, thanks. Are the new pins working? Can anyone attest to this?

Can anyone attest to the functionality of the new pins?

I have the Patagonia micro puffs and they are awesome! I always bring them on day tours, but rarely use unless waiting for people, the full zips make them easy to get on and off with no boot...

Yeah, well, I don't mind waiting! What's another couple weeks? I admit, I don't really know how much lighter it really is, but it must be more than a few grams.

I got an email from Kieth yesterday regarding the topsheet. He might not have the materials in early January for the lightweight topsheet, so if everyone is willing to wait then maybe? He has to...

if they end up black i will spraypaint them white. lets see "praxis" on there! and the BC lightweight topsheet...

i like what you're sayin'! i'm psyched for this ski! considering what what you say about Praxis's lightweight, any skinnier than 113 underfoot is unnecessary, curiosity aside. I'm also thinking...

kidwoo, I'm curious what you think about total surface area vs. rocker and how each effects float. I have ZERO experience on rockered skis, still on original Gotamas! Compared to, say, the 181...

thanks. maybe i'll just contact praxis

-15. I still can't freakin figure out how to PM someone! What's the cost and ballpark weight?

kidwoo, I found some answers to my previous questions so I deleted my post. I might be interested in a ski like this. No problem waiting for a couple months due to shoulder surgery keeping me off...

pretty sure the wailer is not fully rockered

anyone skinned on the nunataq or any fully rockered ski? i dont think i really like "snappy" skis, i like my old gotamas.

I've read the reviews but I'm looking for some more feedback from anyone who has skied on at least 2 of these 3 skis. 178cm Nunataq, 181 Charger, 175 Justice. I ski about 50 days a year, 48 of them...
