Nice review. I've got a good 30 days touring on brockers. The pair I have are glass protos. The same shape and probably about 1/2 the rocker tip rise that the skis Splat is going to end up producing. They have a decent amount of chamber and are fairly stiff. I mounted mine w/ Silverttas cause I'm an old man, smoke to much, tour with a bunch of young punks and dont have dyna boots.
I have a pair of 192's with dukes for side country or shorter outings. I am suprised at how big the brockers ski.
They almost float and rip big turns as well as the broheamoths. Yet unlike the broheamoths, in the trees when you need quick snappy turns they shine. Over all so much easier to ski than the 192's I took these on a long tour out to some back bowls @ Revelstoke and the return consisted of a cat track skate that dumped you out onto a 2000' mogal field and even though my bump skills suck these ski allowed me to make the turns needed. I took these skis to AK for a week of glacier touring and they rocked. The wide rockered tip kicked ass breaking trail on steep faces and glided well across miles of flats.
Not my choice as a dust on crust ski. Have yet to tour corn with them. kind of curious as to how they will perform. Not a big fan of wide skis for corn. The 188's are perfect corn slayers and have been neglected this winter.
Kind of curious as to why you would mount another pair w/ freerides not much weight savings and a crappy touring stride imo. I lust for a carbon fiber pair, just like the ones Pat just made me ship to switzerland, with new 12 din dynafits and BD's 130 flex AT boot.
These are going to be a hot ticket next winter best be putting in you order this summer or fall.
