2 pairs of my skis are visible in one of the chairlift shots. Sweet!

Will next years edit feature airs that actually get stomped? :fmicon:

I know one or two people that use the Backcountry return policy for an entirely new wardrobe and quiver at the start of each ski season. It certainly isn't right to do that, but if bc.com is willing...

It's been covered in another thread and answered multiple times by Look/Rossignol, the P18 toes DO have full, multidirectional release, just like other lower DIN toes, they simply release using a...

If these were the 186s I would have already bought them from you.

PM sent.

Title says it all. Pictures will be up tonight or tomorrow.

Brand new, never mounted 187cm Dynastar Legend Pro XXL. $300+shipping or $300 for local pickup

2011-2012 27.5 Lange RX 120 shells...

This season I will be skiing:

187 medium/stiff carbon Praxis MVP with DynaLook plates
187 medium + carbon Praxis Protests with P18s.

I'm sure DPS makes skis that can be used at the highest levels of freeskiing, and there are clearly people who push the gear and use it to it's full potential. I would love to ride some of their...

Just got my stock "Medium+" flex 187 carbon Protests yesterday. Given my height and weight, Keith recommended the stock flex.

I'm honestly a little disappointed with just how soft these skis are. ...

I get what you're saying, but we're still dealing with "soft" refreezes at night, where it's barely getting down below freezing for a couple hours. Sure, some of that early snow is going to linger...

I thought that the "K2 for the 1%" comment would make it obvious enough that I was being a bit facetious in my mockery of DPS. Clearly some touchy people around that operation though. :rolleyes2
...

Still doesn't change the fact that I can buy two pairs of Praxis for the price of a pair of DPS Pures, and by choosing Praxis I'm not supporting the fucking Chinese or a company that is unscrupulous...

It's going to be 50 degrees up there all week. I think you're looking for the "Wasatch Predictions I Pulled Out of my Ass" thread.

Nope, me driving at 160 pounds, a passenger up front and two small overnight bags in the back. 375 pounds worth of cargo in the car at the absolute most. Had it close to redline in second, but at...

James has a hard time understanding the meaning of "exposure." Holy high speed, high consequence lines. Hoji seems so at ease moving through the gnarliest of terrain. Smooth, graceful, powerful, he...

Duly noted. Although if you're going to see shit like that the Wasatch is probably among the most likely place to encounter it.

I have a 2010 Outback with a 6 speed MT and the 170hp 2.5 liter engine. Slow. As. Shit. Woefully underpowered. I need to drop it into second gear to make it up the final climb to the Eisenhower...

What were the Powder Plusses mounted for?

I could see the benefit to one of these devices if you were somewhere really remote, but many mountain ranges in the lower 48 have weather stations all over them that record snowfall and SWE. I'd be...

I hope this guy is alright, but I also hope he doesn't appear at Alta again. That guy's attitude was fucking toxic.

Those PX15's are available new on Level Nine for $159, and they frequently show up on Evo.com for between $75 and $90, FYI.

Early season: 180cm Volkl Explosiv 3's, 190 Sumo's for early season pow

Every day and touring: 187cm Praxis MVP with DynaLook Plates. Pivot 18s for inbounds, Speed Radicals for touring

Powder:...

What BSL are they mounted for?

Yup, that's correct on the waist widths. I think it will be a great two ski quiver for LCC. I'm putting DynaLook plates on the MVP's, so they'll be my touring planks as well, at least until I can...

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of 187cm Carbon Medium + flex Protests to compliment my MVP's.

Very excited to get them out in some Utah powder.

Wrong. The Pivot/FKS 14 has a 0 degree ramp angle. The 18 DIN version comes with shims that allow you to mount it with 4,2 or 0 degrees of ramp.

My thoughts exactly.

Haha, yeah, the view isn't bad. I'd rather be in Teton Valley though, that's for sure.

Here are a couple more "Blister style" rocker photos. I sort of wish they had a little less tip and tail...

Got my 187cm carbon, medium/stiff MVP's in the mail yesterday. Fantastic turnaround time on a semi-custom ski, as I placed my order August 18. They are light: one of my 191 Caylors with a PX15 on...

I have some 2011-2012 Lange RX 120 boots for sale. The BSL on these is 316mm.

They are in excellent shape and the shells have about 20 days on them. No work has been done to the shells. I no...

Are you familiar with the phrase "past results are not indicative of future performance?" What it's doing now doesn't mean shit. Based on your elementary school "logic" regarding weather patterns,...

Do you want a ski with tail rocker or a more traditional tail? That's going to have significant effect on the way each ski rides. Personally, I think the Opus is too wide, rockered and soft to be a...

This thread has become far too relevant, when is the MVP review REALLY going to be up on Blister?

Sale pending...

Still available.

In them?!?! Try ON them, they were Volants. Stainless steel topsheets make for a buttery smooth ride.

Ski the steel, steal the thunder!

The MFD plate does "float" a bit on the ski, so I don't think it effects the flex of a ski unless you've got a ski that is pathetically soft underfoot. Having fondled them it appears that they would...

Come on, who wants to own the 12th pair of skis that ON3P built in the summer of 2011? They're minty and they have lots of powder mojo from some deep days riding The Kitty. Unlike the Titanic, the...

What ever happened to McWop? I remember following him down the Backside Traverse at Alta 8 or 9 years ago with a bunch of other maggots when he crossed his tips and tumbled down some refrozen bumps.

I think you should buy my 191 ON3P Caylors and call it good.

Yeah, sure dude. Because we all know that to be a GNARCORE skier you have to charge groomers as fast as fucking possible so you can brag about how fast your iPhone or $800 GPS goggles clocked you...

Well, do you want to spend about $400 for another set of bindings and another few hundred for tech compatible boots, or do you want 8 pounds worth of binding on your skis?

Sollyfit plates are nice...

There are very few times and places at any ski area where it's safe for someone to ski that fast. You're probably one of those rich, entitled weekend warrior douches who thinks you're hot shit cause...

Try not to cut in line or step on anyone's toes while you're there.

Or you could save some money, not be such a pussy and deal with the left hand zip. I guess if you can piss away money for a Norrona jacket that's going to fall apart in a season anyway, you might as...

I have some brand new size 28.0 Powerwraps I'd sell to you for $125 shipped.

Also some High Volume size 28.0 Luxury Liners, molded once, with about 15 ski days on them that I'd sell for $90...

Wow, I thought someone was getting some funny stickers about Vail and it's general lame-ness printed up. This thread and 1080Rider are both huge disappointments right now.

As long as the mention of irrelevant banter doesn't cause IBS to ensue we're all good.



Excellent, I'm excited to hear what you thought of them. I've purchased skis without demoing them, but...

Speaking of irrelevant banter, when is the MVP review going to be up? I'm excited to hear more about how it skis, seeing as I have a pair on order.

Gotten a few nibbles from some low-post JONGs who don't get back to me after I respond. It would be great if someone who wasn't a pubescent pounder expressed some interest in these planks.
