Also good to know - thanks!

Thanks for input - very much appreciated!

Has anyone spent time in either of these HH jackets? Can’t seem to find much out there. Been trying to search TGR for some reviews, but I’m on my mobile and the search function isn’t working for some...

I’ve far too many. The skis currently in use are:

DPS Wailer 112RP (184)
Icelandic Saba Pro (187)
DPS Lotus 124 with the spooned tip (191)
DPS Lotus 138 (182)

I also own:

Folsom Trophy...

I have the Flight Decks in an Asian fit, despite being Anglo Irish. They fit well on my narrow-ish (I like to think chiselled) features

Does anyone have any additional input on the Saba 117? Still seems to be very little out there about this ski in terms of user experience...

Thanks Mntlion - will give it a go

Having some issues with the fit of a new pair of Lange XT3 130. I’m coming from a 2017 Cochise with powerwrap - never had any real issues. The new Cochise 130 weren’t available so went with the XT3...

So it seems that the AFD migration and forward pressure issues can be solved by following LeeLau and SyderJon’s advice on set up. Curious to know if Salomon has updated their manual or if it hasn’t...

I thought that too from the pics… Although the purples in the pics are in the shorter length, so maybe that’s it

Interesting that they said that. I emailed DPS and they’ve told me the rocker and shaping is identical to the Purple 138 Powderworks Alchemist Spoon

Thanks for that info hoarhey - I’ve been flicking back and forth between pics of my purple 138 Spoons and screenshots of the new special edition trying to work out what’s changed. Let’s just say this...

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone spent time on two or more of the above skis and is able to share some thoughts on their similarities/differences? Hard to find any direct comparisons - not...

Just comparing my purple 192 Powderworks 138s to Hoarhey’s 182 Pure 3s and they look quite different (although that could just be my eyes, the different lengths and camera angles etc). Other than...

Cheers guys - that’s what I was thinking/hoping. Thanks for the input

Hello all - picked up a used pair of 192 Lotus Powderworks 138s. Hole conflicts are pointing to a mount 0.5cm back from the recommended line. Interested to know if anyone has mounted there or...

Thanks for the feedback guys - appreciated.

Possibly a long shot, but has anyone skied the Prior CBC in both the 184 and 188 lengths, and/or in both the quad glass and carbon layups? Interested to hear first-hand experience of the differences...

2010 Donner Party. Lovely.

Thanks for the input Xavier. Yeah, those Atris bases.... I've seen paper bags that are tougher.

Any thoughts on the 184 Atris (which I own) vs the 108 Kartel in a 186 as a quiver of one (west coast and Europe)? I like the Atris well enough for inbounds skiing, but find it "hinges" on me a bit...

189 for you I think SF. I'm 76kg / 5ft 10 and ski the 184.

I have the SFB (previous gen in a 184) and a pair of Black Crows Atris (also in a 184).

I'm 5'10" and around 75kg. Qualified non-practicing instructor (for what that's worth), ski fairly centred...

Thanks MH - very much appreciated. Looking forward to getting mine mounted - they should be arriving this week....

Plus one for Folsom - my Gambits are bomber.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts Meathelmet. Just pulled the trigger on a pair of 184s. I'm the same height and weight as you pretty much but was looking for a playful all rounder that can...

Just bought the HDR AZ1. If you buy the head mount kit you can remove the rig from the headband and attach it to your goggles. It's kind of funny because a tiny camera plus case plus goggle rig...

I was thinking more along the lines of what the review would have been like if Jonathan or Will had posted a review of the ski as they skied it - i.e. straight out of the wrapper. They did the right...

The thing is, it seems the other blister guys have ridden it, but elected not to review it for the site (see below). I'm not convinced the review would have been any more favourable if they had...

Read the Blister review last night as soon as it was flagged here - I've been dying to see what they had to say about the GPO for months. The response I tried but failed (thanks iPhone) to post...

I've bought "blind" every time. The first couple of purchases were a bit hit and miss, but recently I've been buying from manufacturers who are happy to discuss/customise models/flexes etc. before...

One of my buddies just found some clips on YouTube that reminded me of a gaper moment I had last season.

So we're queuing for the Peak Chair (gaper error number one) on a bluebird pow day. The...

What can I say??? Fuckin' awesome
stuff. Who needs powder and a heli when you've got rocks and shitty snow? I smiled and shook my head more times during that clip than during the whole of Way of...

Are we limited to chair lifts / North America? If not, then the Aguille du Midi, the pulse gondy at La Grave and Mont Fort in Verb get my vote. For chairs, I've heard the Marte chair in Las Lenas...

I went to Val T back in 2006 and stayed in Courcheval 1750 in 2010. Val T is not a pretty town, but you can access some great and snow-sure terrain. Courcheval 1750 was an OK place to stay, but the...

Just remembered this one - "Shadow of the Season" by The Screaming Trees. A song for all those who spend the hot months counting down the days to the cold months. I could really imagine this being...

I'd second Juke Box Hero (McConkey's segment in Claim) and suggest:

At World's End (Morrison's segment from Under the Influence)
Signs of Life (from Re: Session)
Subculture Hero (it's never been...

Arcteryx Caden Jacket (in Tobiko orange) - should be arriving soon...

Praxis Protest (187) Carbons with GPO topsheets

Agree with this ^^^^

Just to add a little colour to the medium vs med stiff debate, when I first hand flexed my medium carbon Jibs I thought, "Oh oh, too soft" but they do not ski soft. They flex when you want them to...

Congratulations and thanks for posting! Would love to start my own business and stories like this are really inspiring - such a great way to shout down the voices that tell you you can't succeed.

I second Kirby - move this to the Tech Talk pages and you'll get more constructive feedback.

My 2 cents - I have the 184 SFB and I'm your height but about 10 pounds lighter. I like them a lot and...

Thanks for the heads up - I'll look up Chicken's review. Must confess I know next to nothing about that ski - looking forward to reading up on it....

Thanks Chicken. If I could have put money on someone on this board having both, it would have been a close call between you and AUVGeek - where on earth do you store all these skis???

I'm sitting here with a 20% Praxis coupon burning a hole in my pocket. I've been lusting after a pair of 187 Protests for a while now and I'm close to convincing myself that buying yet another pair...

This code's been spoken for.

Powder Fiend - I've tried to PM you but not sure if it sent (I'm on i-phone). Give me a shout if it doesn't arrive and I'll re-send when I get on a PC later on.

I've got a code which I'm not going to be able to use :( Drop me a PM if you want it.

^^^^ Agree that the 196 Corvus looks like a brute of a ski. Haven't ridden it, but I handflexed it (or tried to) in a shop not so long ago. I also found a pair of 190-ish Rossi Squads (I think from...

Great vid and loved that last drop with the shadow - nice!
