RIP Caylor. More info on new Jeffrey's please, KThxBye.
Edit: Scott, I know you have some FR blems you want to sell me for cheap. I need a fun rock ski, until it decides to snow again in Tahoe. Was about to say fuck it and just ride the Jmo's, but not if they (and my Caylors) just became irreplaceable.Last edited by unpossible; 01-22-2014 at 09:54 PM.

My caylors are my favorites. Hopefully the 122 Jeffreys keep some of the same characteristics.

[QUOTE=auvgeek;4164044]Though, I'm surprised the Hoji isn't lighterthe pair I skied certainly *felt* lighter.
/QUOTE]
Weird, I felt the same way. I would definitely put them closer to 9# if I was guessing.

Are you guys talking about the pilsner graphics or the white/black ones? I heard the w/b ones are stiffer, thus heavier.

I think in some ways this is a step backwards from the 1.0s... yeah, they shaved 100 grams and made a "pure" race boot, but at the cost of durability. Carbon cuffs are somewhat survivable inside a sacrificial layer of GoreTex pant-leg, but lower shells made this way and used anywhere other than a rando race course will be die a carbon-splintery death on their first encounter with a real world approach trail. As I posted on Wildsnow, I think these sorts of boots should have an optional, replaceable plastic shell that can snap over the carbon for a minor weight penalty, and will take a beating while booting. Break it? No worries, $50 gets you another set.

Scott Alpride 40L airbag backpack yes, nothing new there..
Check those bindings.. They are PHK's.. Interesting choise by the Scott crew.. But what does this tell us? It is pretty safe to say they did not follow Look by rebranding Plums. (They both have rebranded Trackers/Guardians)
What would you say if I say that PHK made those bindings after a request by a bigger company to show what they could do...? Time will tell..

Whole ski is skinnier. Same radius in the 112, slightly smaller radius in the 102.
No FR, but we are selling most of our demos right now. Email me.
Jeffrey 122 is based upon the 191cm Caylor, so they are very similar. By far the least changed ski out of all the new models. So if you like the Caylors, you are going to be set. Ski I am most excited for is the Jeffrey 114, though, as the Caylor isn't exactly small. A 186cm Jeffrey 114 could start becoming my everyday ski over the BG (seeing at skiing on Hood is basically minigulf at best). We shall see though.Seriously, this cant turn into yet another ON3P thread....

How much smaller? Same pin-tail design in the 102? Rocker profile the same? Weights? I think it's gonna be a huge shoot-out between the Steeple 102, 4FRNT Raven, and the new W105...!

I am totally digging the topsheets of next years 4frnts... I think by far this years topsheet for the Ren is the ugliest and my favorite is the Owl, which I may be biased as I just picked my pair of 196s from the shop that got mounted with Sollies 90cm from tail...
God only knows I do not need another pair of skis, but the Hoji 195 is calling my name and this years boat top sheet has to be my all time favorite... Shit so many good skis out there, but 4frnt is on a roll and def looking forward to what Kye comes out with...

Nope - mounted 90 from tail... Called 4Frnt as I know Hoji recommends 92, but he is also 5'10" and 155 lbs where I am 6'4" and 210 lbs... I told the guys on the phone and one of the quotes was "you are a big sum bitch" and both recommended 90 from tail... I confirmed twice so that is what I went with... Both said no way at 92 for my height and weight...

huh.
I'm 6'6" 250. 92 feels good. but yeah, further back might be better. never tried it.
would love to hear your thoughts when you give it a go. you'll be stoked either way.

Mantra exists next year, but in a different form.
