Ah, the Venn diagram intersection of rape fans and racists. Two choice groups for sure. The notion that the CIC should not be able to demand discipline and expect regulations to be enforced can be...

All in all, looks like your NZ season is getting off to a nice start. Nice! Hope it keeps up for you guys.

I was pretty surprised to hear about road-closing snow in Dunedin a week or two ago...

For my .02, in general, it is not that simple. For all the reasons brought up above, and then some. The best of modern designs are surprisingly complex machines for being a couple of "planks". For...

I think MO did a good job of capturing what is also my read on the differences. Having skied 3 generations of PBs and the Red Line 138s, there are obviously differences across time and models - but...

I have current Powder Boards. But have only skied the Red Line 138s. So it is not the comparison you are after. But since nobody has offered up anything else - I found the 138s more picky and wanting...

First, the disclaimer - I'm a schlub, not a charger. That said, I have been using Keith's skis for a bunch of years. When I first used them, my reaction was: mount back more. Like a number of other...

Very nice present.

I agree. Also - my wording was ambiguous. To be clear - he had the veneers on hand. Not the skis. I'm pretty sure there is no "stock" on the wood top sheets...

Quilted beech. I originally ordered zebrawood, but there were some delays with that and Keith had some others on hand, including the beech. So I just let him make the call.

They are works of art. Not used, so no report on durability - because I trashed my knee while they were being mounted...sigh... Keith claims they hold up super well. No reason to doubt him...

Nice ^^^ Someone is going to appreciate that.

Worth noting - the 20% coupons expire May 15. As in day after tomorrow. I'm sure there's demand if you are not gonna use yours.

I have a feeling of deja vu :)

Bummed to hear that CW. Hope its is just annoyed and gets back on track ASAP.

You are conveniently ignoring that clause before the comma -- the one about a well regulated militia. IMO, people, including under-IQed pseudo-strict-constructionist justices, who do no understand...

FWIW, my doc's office emphasized wearing them at night ;)

Will fill in more on my gig later - today is 3 weeks post op. But regarding that question - I dumped the stockings after maybe 4-5 days (doc wanted it longer). Wish I'd done it sooner. Poking around...

I, for one, would appreciate it if the local idiot brigade would keep their homophobia and misogyny confined to the padded room and polyass. It sucks when you dunces crap up a perfectly useful tech...

Which generation Protests? The recent runs are marked about +2 to the older ones. So you could be really far back - or about on the old mark - depending. It'd be interesting to know. Interesting...

I appreciate when someone fires up a thread as soon as there is an issue like this. Doubly so when it is someone with a clue like summit. Info can fill in - whether that be specific safety info, or...

Besides being well put together independent reviews, some sweet pics too.

D(C) - did you mean full reverse camber rather than sidecut in the first line of your post? he Renegade has sidecut matched to the radius of the reverse camber...

That said, both times I skied the...

Thanks for posting. A really interesting little experiment.

I know of two folks who would consider that - in a 187 - the perfect ski...

Echoes what Keith told me about his wood topsheets (gorgeous BTW). As I understand it, he adjusts the base layup to get the right flex as ordered with the wood on top. But there's that thread drift...

Thanks. Had surgery on Tues. Hamstring autograft and a medial meniscus trim. Doc said I have beautiful hamstring tendons. Feeling pretty good. Going with no opiates - which I am convinced is a...

It looks like you have the UHMW Topsheets w/ Yellow side walls. I believe since those were pressed that Keith moved the mark on the 177s forward about 2 cm. (for my .02, the sale on that ski was like...

I'm not into empty anything. Woof.

BTW regarding polygamy. Nice try. I have no problem with it. We should accommodate it. It is structurally more complex... But it is a red herring in this...

So to be clear, this is your way of saying you support marriage equality?



I feel neither good not bad about myself. But, for the record, I changed my TGR avatar too (I offer that up just in...

GPO wins that one hands down IMO. Not to knock the Wootest, but the GPO is gonna be both a surfier big day ski, and way more of a crud crusher when it is that less than great of day.

I have only...

Nicely done alto!

Congrats!

Per the earlier stuff... This applies to 11/12 and 12/13 runs of 190cm Powder Boards. These should be the "same" skis, but the dimple that marks boot center has been moved forward this season. I just...

Quick additional comment on mount points... The 11/12 UHMW eagle/dogsled topsheet build generation seems best at +3 or maybe +2. Goes for both 190 and 180. My 190s are at +3 & I love 'em there....

Call it a typo. Call it ambiguous. Read it as March 2013 presale on 2014 model year skis.

Seems like the Praxis GPO rates a thread of its own.

I skied the 187 mounted on the mark in a few inches of new over variable nasty crust, and a few pockets of windblown goodness, at Stevens...

Kind of surprised where this popped up - but some good shots of the Octopus and Tabke...

Agree. As were a couple other folks IMO. Of course it is easy to try to armchair it. Still... a few scores surprised me.

Interesting that the Great Pacific Octopus delivered first place rides in 3...

Regarding the Protest length thing...

Several people in my household use Protests. Two of us are over six foot, in the 200 +/- zone, and normally use 187s in this context. I'd only use the 196 in...

Yes - the punch/dimple on the left sidewall of each ski is boot center.

I'd go on the mark for the BCs. On or +1 for the Protests. JimS would disagree and suggest back a shade on the Protests....

I'd personally trust evo or Gerk's.

As noted, Martin has done a gajillion Inuitions.

Based on experience - IMO compound FTW...

When Keith makes something "standard" on a ski a couple seasons in, there is usually a reason.

101.75 is plenty back IMO. YMMV though - some like Jim S and seemingly sierraskier prefer to be back and be able to drive them more.

All that said, at 200+ pounds I have had no tip dive issues...

They can take some getting used to, depending on your existing style. What generation/year do you have and where did you mount relative to the punch? (or measurement by straight pull from the tip to...

While at the Powder Magazine gallery gig at evo last night, we wandered upstairs and tripped into the Spoons. Really interesting. Wildly different than the protos at SIA two years ago. While noted...

I dunno Phil. You sure you were still having fun at like 1:30 or whatever it was?

Despite some pessimism on the drive up, Stevens inbounds skied surprisingly well today. The new snow was wet enough to stick decently and dense enough to be reasonably supportive. Even though it was...

Last I checked in with him on the MVP, Keith seems to think it should be mounted on the mark. Can't argue based on my few days skiing them (admittedly short ones...).

Big things have "small" beginnings...
