Happy to see this! Glad to see that things are sorting out Splat!
Love my 191 Fats and my 183 Bros! Pissed that when I got my Fats, I gave my 191 Lhasa hybrids to a friend and have regretted it ever since. Would love some hybrid Byas. I need more skis like I need trench foot or the clap, but for skis that are this much fun, I say, why not?

I've seen this pair, and they are sweet. More rocker than the pair of Kusalas I picked up the end of last season, but I think my pair is unusually flat compared to others like this: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/a...9&d=1444674256

Lhasa Pow Stoke
I thought my 186 kusalhasas were pretty flat till I went into the tight trees off 12 at mammoth and smoked my buddy on his 173 shiros.

I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

These came into my life today thanks to a kick ass mag. Stupid cheap for minty sticks. If these things ski as half as awesome as the build quality and design suggests, I'm going to be throwing benjamins at splat for a backup pair. Thanks for making beautiful skis and sharing them with us.
Plan for these (one prior mount) is SollyFit plates w/ STH16/Rads. To be mounted up with good beer this fall weekend. Pow touring ski to compliment the Yetis, and double-duty ski inbounds pow/touring ski for MCP trips and other general dirtbaggery.
The real question is will I even want to ski my OG Bibbys after these...

Vets stopping for a selfie near Dunderberg Peak on October 29, 2016.
The Lhasa Pow is the ideal ski for an early season dusting on wind buff with a few chocolate chips thrown in.

Colorado continues to be hot AF.
At least there were some new (to me) sticks to mount.
Photographic proof that mags fucking rule. Where else could you end up with this whole setup for a hair over $500?

Pulled a binding out of my 191s with white top sheets. Anyone selling or have a comparable ski (feel, dimensions and weight) to recommend?

Got the Lhasas out for their first hut trip / AIARE class. Killer conditions, 4-8" of blower on top of nicely consolidated snow pack. Decent stability meant we actually got to get over 30-degrees a few times.
Real mind blower was this sunday though skiing them inbounds in 6" of wind-affected stuff. Handle chop well (not as willing to go fast as Bibby's and a little more to adjust to hardpack). But in the trees and bumpy stuff, absolutely killer. Not sure what makes them so easy to get sideways -- the pintail? Or maybe I just suck less than I used to.

Been saving these for the last 5 years. Finally got them out for their maiden voyage on 4 inches new on top of packed powder. So slarvy through the soft stuff, charged through the left overs, and railed GS turns on the groomers.
