How have the BC Corvus been working out?

I have no doubt the Katana is pretty good in bad snow but I guess my main question is if the 100eight is better in shit conditions (Gets bounced around less / better suspension) as it is very...

Yeah, I looked at the Corvus, it’s a similar weight to the 100eight. I crossed it off because it looks totally flat, where the 100eight and Katana both have the slight reverse camber, which is what...

Uggg! I keep going around in circles on this. Totally over=thinking it. All 3 of these skis have good deals on them at the moment.

I think I’ve eliminated the BMT 109 because this truly will...

Thank you! This is the details I was looking for.

I know what you mean by carbon feel. Does the 100eight have a less harsh ride in the resort compared to the Katana or are they fairly similar?...

Anybody use the BMT 109 inbounds regularly or is it too lite/unstable inbounds?

Thank you for all the comments and please keep them coming!

I find it interesting many people say the 100eight is a bit too heavy to tour while it seems lots of people promote the VW Katana as a...

Hi, I only found one other thread on the 100Eights and it didn't contain much info. so sorry for the new thread.


Has anybody been on the 100eight? There are lots of good reviews out there...

Thank you! That was the point I was trying to make just too lazy to write it all out. The skis are apples and airplanes.

The discussion on these 2 skis came from the previous page(s) talking...

the Wren vs Volkl 102.... The Wren while a stout ski has a ton of tip rocker, so has a lot less effective edge than the 102.

Hi,

I found the beginning part of this thread on the various rocker/Camber profiles really interesting. What’s the general consensus from those who have skied a few different models (not just...

Hmmm. Yeah just thought this was an easy way around that problem.... I’m sure there’s a good market here for Ravens, Hojis, Revs., Devs and Enthaynes. And Sportpursuit seems like a pretty good...

I seem to remeber a while back 4FRNT sold some skis through Sportpursuit.com

That would be very helpful for us Euro dudes that don't want to pay extra on shipping and import duties!!!

Any...

Bump... need to sell

Hi, I just added some skis to Gear Swap. As I'm based in London, I thought I'd just add a note here.

They are brand new in the wrapper DPS RP112s Pure Carbon Construction. 190cm. These have...

Val Thoren?

Bump!

OBO...these need to go!

Wow! That is some serious quiver changes. Kid Kapow doesn’t clean no mess! Boom.

I look forward to your full review of the Wren Ti’s

@ Interesting you got the Enforcer 104 Frees... I keep going around in circles about that ski the Fischer FR and the Woosman. And occasionally my 20 year old ego tells me to just get the new Mantra...

Bump

If the ski will be primarily be used on the EC minus a few trips out west, I’d focus on edge grip. Woodsman sounds like it’s worth looking at but as it’s a new ski and there’s not much info yet. ...

Yep... I fully agree with this and have been fighting the reality of it for far too long. I’ve been trying to make due with lighter carbon touring skis when skiing in the resort and they just flat...

Hi Iggy, I sent a few questions earlier this week through the contact form on your website in regards to shipping to the U.K. and the Wren protos. Any chance someone can take a look or let me know...

Great the Woodsman with Ti for the win!

Just wondering.

Was thinking if I move it forward 2 it might make it slightly more pivoty in tight spots.

Hi,

Sorry for this question because I’m absolutely sure it’s covered in here somewhere but I can’t find the answer. For those skiing Wrens, any feedback on mounting + 1 or + 2 or more for that...

I was so jealous of the boots too. So comfy!!! And they weren’t even mine.

I wanted to learn to tele when I was in college so bad but every time I had enough cash to buy a setup something in my alpine rig would break and the cycle would start all over again. I wanted to be...

Title says it all, brand new in wrapper DPS RP112 Pure Carbon Construction. 190cm. These have special addition graphics, all red top sheets with large snow flake across the tips.

I’m based in...

By the way, took me 3,000 posts to admit I telemark.[/QUOTE]

Why?

If I had 14 inch penis I’d show it to everyone!

Wow those look awesome. Reminds me of guitars just a different type of axe.

👍🏿

Yeah see, you get it! These are difficult decisions I’m dealing with over here!

We need more information to come to light man.

Awesome guys! Thank you!

I’m curious about the Ti Wren but from everything ive read it doesn’t sound like it really needs it. I do want to get something with really nice suspension but equally...

Thank you for all your comments, all very helpful.

I’m currently looking for a daily driver for the Alps. Something between roughly 95 and 105 under foot. Snappy/poppy quick for tight spots but...

I haven’t seen much in this thread on the Wren 96... ?

Any difference on ice... More or less grip? I wouldn’t think it would make a difference but thought I’d ask.

Those are hawt

Can some one please school me on forward mount skis versus traditional mount? What are the pros and cons from a purely skiing perspective? In other words I don’t care about anything switch or...

Thanks!.... the snow report doesn't really call for it... but FKNA gotta get the big dogs out to eat too !

Thank you! So the Powerstrap holds the tongue in place better (which would be great) and gives them a bit more rebound? Did you go for the expert powerstrap or WC or ???

I've never added a Booster Strap. Anything special you need to do to add it to the Merc/Vulcan.

I've been skiing with out the tongues mainly... I find them good to have on a warmer day though. ...

I have trip coming up and I'm dying to get on the 120s. The snow report is a mix bag... will most likely be a few days of wet corn snow followed by a few days of 6-8 inches of fresh. I'm assuming...

Yep, should have locked the toes! Had skied the route before but only in deep pow, in a big snow year so the whole route was wider and seemed tame. Before entering the route it hadn't even dawned on...

I had a pre-release last year that occurred just slide slipping down a steep icy chute. Relatively new pair (8days skiing) on FT radicals. The ice was very ridged from others doing the same and...

So is Oslo or Bergen the closest airport and what do you estimate the transfer time is? I've also heard good things about Vos. Any good?

I think you just proved my point? Norway is in Scandinavia not the Alps. They are two very different places last time I checked my map.

And the only generalisation I made about the Alps was...

Yep, that's why the sentence ends in "at times". I grew up in New England, lived in CO for 6 years and have skied in Europe the last 8. I added my experience with the 99, because he mentioned he...

I agree with all that has been said. As someone that has skied both, it sounds like the RPC is the right choice. The RP is softer and has a lower speed limit. The RP is a fun ski, and I think has...

Just a guess, but the 120 is a pin tail design with very little side cut and no tail rocker. With the 124 they have added a fatter tip similar to the 112 which will add more early float, make turn...
