Get the Bluehouse Shoots 191. You can find them cheap ( I might have a spare). They rip everything. Much more ski than the Rocker - more stable, quicker and more energy. Atlas is a decent ski but...

My experience is that the heel pocket narrows as the last narrows. This is not to say that all 95mm last boots will have the same pocket. A 92-95 last lange will have a narrower heel than a 98mm...

Bluehouse Shoots for a big dude. No speed limit, flat tail, excellent price point. Surprisingly versatile for such a big ski (128 under foot). I'm 230 with all my gear and I overpowered the Atlas. ...

great boots, just a little big

I wear a 10-10.5 Depends on what kind of a fit you are looking for. These are 8-8.5 equivalent shoe size (the shell is same, footbed thickness is the only diff). A "comfort fit" for these boots...

Thanks

Price change $225 plus shipping

I skied these for 2 days and they are too big for me. Very comfortable and warm - I wish they worked but I thought I would cut my loss and sell them while they look new. Pictures show condition of...

X2 for the Bluehouse Shoots. I've skied them in everything from pow in Haines AK to chalky steeps in Taos and CB - they rock and you can't beat the price. The Tight Shoots are same dimensions...

I have some Solly Rockers with STH 16 in like new condition. will sell with or without binders. PM if interested and I'll send you pics

I didn't ski them but just spent a week with a guy in Haines AK that skied the 196. He was an excellent skier - the more he skied them the more he liked them. They were not soft - that much I know....

Found a lot of advice on mounting previous Shoots that had a center line marked on the ski (-1cm seemed the consensus). This years do not. BH site recommends 810 mm from tail in straight line for...

Samurai,

I had same problem - now when I feel any heat I put the goggles on the helmet and all is good

I've got a pair in the 150 length in great shape with Salomon demo bindings that don't get used. $65 shipped.

What are the dimensions?

Heavy as shit - doesn't sound good, when we hike I carry both pairs

I was just looking at thread about adding rocker. The other choice would be Atomic HeliDaddy - thoughts

Looks awesome, was thinking about the same for 194 XXL

one of the biggest reasons I ski with a helmet, for me:

Helmet=no fog

Hat=relentless fog

Anyone know anything about Atomic Powder Plus? I know it's an older model but I have never seen them. The dimensions 125/108/115 sound right?

Any thoughts about fat skis for kids? My son (11)...

Movement Goliath. 191 is the only length. 108 under foot, slightly elongated tip - not really rocker, but helps in crud and pow. The faster you charge, the better it skis.

Skis I have not skied...

I ski 916's at 14-15

The only times I've been injured have been Marker pre-releases. I release when needed. I think it is more related to skiing style - I'm a former...

What a trip - great thread

Bindings I almost forgot about:
Cubco
Bessemer
Spademan
What were those plate bindings with the ball for the toe piece? cirrca 1978
Geze

Skis I've owned:

The Goliaths rock. The faster you go the more they rip. Flat tail however, not the ski if you want to ride switch.

Shoots still available?

Do you have any pics?

Any pics of the Bluehouse Shoots?

Thanks

Dookey - Niacin is used to reduce cholesterol - the flushing is an unwanted side effect. You can pre-treat yourself with asprin to reduce the chance of this but I really don't think that it should...

I have the Panasonic ZS3 and the TS1 and love both. The TS1 is smaller and is water and shock proof and has a 5X optical zoom. The ZS3 has 12X optical zoom. The image stabilizer is great - works...

Movement Goliath's rock. Might be a little wide for comps (108) but is quick, stable and has no speed limit. Elongated shovel - no real rocker. For such a big ski it's amazing how light and quick...

Thanks

any info on Wildhorse catskiing this year?

Searched all night and looking for more info. Going to BC for two days Cat skiing and 1 day at a resort. Would you hit Red or WH2O? Seems like most would favor Red.

Real question is about...

On skis with a 110 waist would you mount them flat or lift them.

I have a pair of Salomon 957 Racing that are in excellent shape. All metal, DIN to 16. It looks that based purely on age they are no longer indemnified (based on searching threads - is that...

There's a BCA for sale on the gear swap, new for $50, nice pack

Demo the 194 LP, if its too much ski the the XXL in 194 will be way too much ski

There was a guy looking for a pack on the Tech forum, not sure where he is from but he was looking to spend about $50 (he posted last night)

see post by Phattypowpow, has nice looking red Eider

Nick, what DIN do you ski them and would you set them higher than Salloy

Fischer Atua, can find them cheap

Thanks all - I can get some FF18 or FF20 for a good deal (both have AFD)

is that the tank tread or the AFD or both

I just sold a sweat Ground jacket made of eVENT on E-Bay for $120. I can contact the guy who bought it and see if he would sell. It's Green and gray. I've never used eVENT - supposed to breath...

I'm looking for some new bindings.(to mount on the new Movement Goliaths) It's been years since I skied Tyrolia and back in the dark ages they had a problem with pre releasing when you loaded the...

From other threads - they are a bitch to bend

Julio

Do you have any pics?

Just got 191 Goliath's and need a high DIN binder. I'm 195# and on this ski will set them at 14-16. Any big maggots pre-releasing from the Dukes? Seems like a great setup, but I'm fearful of...
