These skis rule! First day out on friday, just a few quick laps around WB to test out my new 186's (88 mount).

I was expecting a bit of a learning curve, but coming off of GS skis the ren's felt...

I have the chance to purchase a brand new 7D with warranty for 950. Would the value on this deal pay off in the long run compared to getting a 60D?

Sure it is a very narrow FOV, but for the price you can't find a better value prime.

I am in a similar situation as the OP:
Looking to upgrade my Olympus EPL2, and I have around a 1500$ budget. Right now I'm looking at a couple options...

Canon 50D or 550D (t2i)
Canon 15-85mm IS...

I'm smaller than you and felt the 184 Bibby's were playful, but lacked stability at speed and just sucked in variable and wind affected pow. I've switched to Renegades for this season and I hope they...

My dad has a pair of 173's, he's a smaller guy that just switched over from telemarking; he ended up using them as his everyday ski all season in whistler. I got the chance to ski a few runs with...

I agree mostly with D(C), but certain boots have slightly different characteristics. Fischer with the somatec, nordica has a stiffer type of boot board, lange's, rossi's, and heads are pretty basic,...

I second marshal, I have a freakishly narrow foot and these have been my boots the past 5 years. I just got into some of the newest Fischer Vacuum boots, they fit pretty well, but are by far the...

From a guy that doesn't have unlimited skis:

Ideal quiver:

1.
No new snow, early season, etc.
80-99 underfoot, 20-30m sidecut, ~190cm, slight twin tip if possible. FKS 180

2.
Everyday,...

^^ rocker looks massive compared to mine as well! Oh well...

This is my little setup for the winter, should cover all bases for me. Seems like I might have to resort to using trekkers if I find...

South America could be an option next summer... But thats for another thread.

Can't wait to get on these. I'm now contemplating selling my FatBros, I love them but will they get any use with the...

I guess I will just let the shops tune these ones.. I've don't have a 1* side bevel... I will ask for little or no base structure.



These are supposed to be the 2012 version, they have the...

After a few days of drooling I've got a question, how exact is the sidecut to rocker match? The rocker on my...

Ruckus and I have struck up a deal, going to wait till later this summer to make the transaction.

nice post dood. maybe we have already contacted these sellers and working out a deal/they werent willing to ship to canada...?

Hey I want some of these too. I'm in Vancouver , so any Canadians with ren's please shoot me a pm.

Great shots. The top one would have had my vote, looks like an awesome trip.

Right now its looking like......

186 Renegades - powpow/open spaces
183 Fat Bros for everyday/hiking

seems like I'm missing a tree ski.... but we will see how pivoty those Ren's are.

Does anyone on here have any experience with these jackets?

Some great relaxing this weekend.

I am by no means a camera techie - could you explain the registration distance etc?

IMHO I don't see too big a market for a lens like this. If your throwing it on a T3i (smallest canon?), the...

This looks like they could be moving into the mirroless compact system camera market. I'd love to see some competition with the NEX, GH, OMD cameras... If canon can hit the video quality of the GH2,...

PM away

Thanks for the input... I'm really tempted to just pull the trigger on the CRJ's due to the price. EHP's will cause too much overlap IMO.

Any last minute advice? I'd love to try Ren's but it...

Thanks D(C),

I can pick some up for a great price, and I've also been looking for a more playful ski for storm day lapping (garbo trees, the khyber, etc).

My goal is something 115mm-125mm to...

Quick bump:

I'm a little guy, 5'9 145lbs, will the 188 CRJ hold up a bit better for someone like me? Or will it still fold up under some speed. These will compliment my 183 fat bros for storm days...

Interesting... Thanks for the link

Bumping this, looking for a t2i as well. Will the loyalty program ship to canada? and where do i call? Thanks in advance from a photo jong.

Current Fischer race skis have the flex stamped on the sidewall that most people assume is part of the serial number (right next to it). These days WC skiers are on a 40-50 flex SL ski, 45-55 flex GS...

Condition wise, it's near perfect. everything functions as new, and there are no scratches longer than a mm or two.

Manfrotto 190XB Tripod -...

I'm in a similar market... although size is not as much of an issue, I'm mainly looking at the G12 and X10. Does anyone have experience with those?
I will also be taking a fair amount of video, so...

Really interested in the G12 and X10 - but not sure which way to go.

The price on the G12 is way better, but the video (stats) on the X10 are far superior....

That turbo is a pretty sweet deal.....

Just a comment on the bibby's VS fatbro's

I switched from the 184bibby to the 183 fat bro for my do everything ski and although the bibby's were better...

I'd prefer cash... I'm trying to get some money to try out Solly's new AT offering next season.

Someone buy these.....

bump....and officially tossing these on Craigslist....

This friday there will be a sale on some PMGear 183 fats, I have some and recommend them as an easy to ski everyday stick that I felt was better in everything (except the park) than the kung fujas...

Epic quiver of one. Carve like crazy, trenches and hand-drags all the way down the steepest pitches.

Anyone else notice the pivot point is totally different?!...

to the top

bump.....

Right now my dream quiver would be super stiff 187 fats, with Rens, and race skis.

I'm thinking 88 from tail just to offset them from the 183's for slightly more of a playful feel.

edit: I also...

I'm trying to pick up some ren's as we speak.

186 FAT lhasa.... Thats what I want....

I've been seeing more and more PM Gear skis on whistler.. pretty cool!

I'm in a similar boat - But I need a ski for whistler pow days. I need something for the deep storm days. For everything else I have 183 fat bros.

I almost pulled the trigger on some stiff 187...

I believe it is to protect the threads, we've converted lots of race bindings with the 115mm baseplate. I still have extra narrow baseplates... anyone in whistler interested let me know.

Thanks, Sent him a message. No Rens but hopefully I'll get on a pair of Hoji's!

Bump.
