Somebody wanted a pair of these for Xmas but didn't get them. Well here you go.
I have a brand new pair of 29.0's. They fit me perfectly and I'm usually in 28.5. PM if interested.
New touring boots for Christmas?? Anyone? Anyone?
Morning bump
Bump for pic added.
Just picked up a pair of TLT5 Mountain TFX and now I'm having second thoughts. They still have the tags attached. Looking to get out what I paid $425 + ship. Let me know if interested. Can post pics...
So, I'm intrigued by these boots for a number of reasons but primarily as a serious ski mountaineering boot. They fit me really well in the store and reports are that they ski well and can climb...
I know it's skinnier than the OP was considering but for my own interests, has anyone been on the K2 Backup?
Thanks^^^ saw that thread but it's mostly geared toward fatter skis than I'm considering. Manaslu is as wide as I would go but likely not stout enough.
Looking for something lighter and thinner for some spring mountaineering objectives - Cascades and then Denali later in the season. I like the idea of the forgiveness of a little tip rocker/early...
Interested in a trade? I got the same deal in a large and it's a little too big for me and would really like to get a medium.
Yeah, I was actually on the fence about getting one because of the price. My argument was to wait for the tech to improve and competition to push the price down, but ultimately I wouldn't stop skiing...
Maybe not quite as cheap as the backcountry mistake but if you missed out this is the cheapest I've found.
P.S. no website affiliation

Let me know if BaNosser doesn't come through
One last bump.
PM sent.

^^^ Thanks but mainly looking for something light and relatively "skinny" to do some ski-mountaineering
yep edit for 183
2010 183 Katanas for sale. I think I put 5 days on these total. Excellent condition. Mounted once with Large Dukes on the line for 326bsl. Stored with wax last season. Looking for $350 shipped or...
Powerwraps and 3 band Boosters here and I would say they are getting close to the stiffness of my Lange comp 120's. Probably still a hair shy but as stiff as I need. Unfortunately, you lose some of...
Armada TST
Rockered tip, flat tail. Light, lively and handles all conditions really well. 183 is a really versatile size.
TNF jacket gone. Bump for the rest
^^^^ Couldn't have said it better myself.

I always thought the mount point looked pretty far back but once on the ski felt perfect. On the groomer days or those with just a couple of inches i felt like the more I drove the ski aggressively...
Evening bump. Prices too high? Skis too short?
Cleaning it out. All prices exclude shipping unless otherwise stated.
Katanas 09/10 183. <10 days. Couple of small scratches and a superficial scuff. Edges perfect. Freshly waxed and tuned....
Just ordered inserts and tool kit to mount this combo on my new TST's. This would be way more simple..... what to do..... what to do....
I'd mount them on the line, although I'm not sure whether it may have moved with the new model. The previous years' have been pretty far back in comparison to the mantra, but I never felt like I...
Just did mine by the oven method and really happy but didn't make my toecap big enough and wound up with a hammertoe on my first tour yesterday. I think this is going to be the perfect fix to make a...
The '12 model does have 177 printed on it.
K2's are a little different in that they tend to measure (straight-pull tape) a little longer than stated length. I never measured my Mantras and no...
So here's the deal. The new 11/12 Katana measures 143 -112-132, which is basically only 1mm wider than previous models and really not a big deal. What is more relavent is that the old models measured...
Bumping this up. Mantras gone. Pics of Katanas coming this afternoon. BD skins still available
After loving the JJ's I bought this year, I just picked up a pair of TSTs as daily drivers/touring skis and I'm expecting to love them just as much. Luckily I live on the east coast and have no use...
183 Katana's - Actually measure 180. zero camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker. 111 at the waist. Ski really well in powder and crud but have two sheets of titanal so are stiff and hold an edge...
Drink a Moat Mt Brown for me. Weather is looking good for snow.... even it wasn't it would still be better than working
ToddL - It's awesome you bought the same ski in two different sizes - really speaks to the quality of these skis. Would the 192 be unwieldy for touring? I'm not an especially big guy (170lb) and am...
Any more thoughts on the rockered Helix? I'm mainly curious how it does in variable backcountry conditions. Looking for a combo touring ski/daily driver. I'm wondering if at 170lb, 6'1" I can get...
Anybody getting any more time on the Helix? Most info out there is about the older nonrockered version. Thoughts on the 182 versus 187? I'm 170lb and would like the shorter length for tourability but...
Mantras sold pending payment....
The skins are in good shape. Very little wear on the material and glue is still plenty sticky. I'm probably going to hold onto them unless they go with the skis. If they don't fit on the new sticks...
09-10 Mantras 177- drilled 1.5 times for Dynafit Verts first at 315ish and currently at 325 on the line. Bases are perfect. No edge damage and topsheets have a few nicks but nothing significant....
I'll take the Dyna brakes and the smartwool hat
I've got a pair that I would consider unloading. They're 2010's with maybe 10 days on them. Drilled once for Large Dukes at 328. Couple of topsheet nicks and one superficial scratch on the base. Also...
^^^ WOW! Way better than my Radiums. Guess I should check out some Quadrants.
I love my Katanas. They were my only ski for the first season I had them. Really only dislike them in big, icy bumps and really boiler plate groomers. Everything else has been great. I have the 09/10...
I've got a pair of '09 177 Mantras in really good shape. Few topsheet nicks but bases and edges are great. Two mounts for ST 10's - one at 325, the other a little smaller. Also have BD skins cut to...
Maybe I should put my worries aside over putting two sets of inserts in my JJ's. They were mounted once for tele bindings and now have Dukes but I'd like to insert the Duke mount and add some for...
^^^ Those BC's w/ the Dynafits are a great looking setup. I balked during the presale and then again during last weekend's Black Friday sale. A pair of 190's should be on my workbench to be mounted...
