2017 Praxis Skis Info and Resource Thread
I figured it was about time to start a new thread for this upcoming season, seeing as the custom orders are being fulfilled as we speak and should be shipping to some soon. Last update I had from Keith indicated my Quixotes and Protests should be shipping in the next week or two.

2017 Praxis Skis Info and Resource Thread
I know for the larger powder skis going to the heavy core adds about a lb or so. Easiest way is to look at the stock ski weights, then add/subtract weight for core, carbon, flex. Adding carbon subtracts about 4-5 oz, veneer subtracts about 4-8 oz per pair.

For what it's worth I am considering a 182 UL flex 3 GPO w/the most weight-saving veneer and hoping it'll be sub 4 lbs a ski, sounds like it'll be alright, but if say the 187 or the 4 flex added negligible weight I'd be keen on that too... I just know realistically about 1800g is as much as I'm gonna tolerate for a purely touring ski, even on deep days, so I am looking for the breakdown I guess lol.
You might be a touch over 8lbs in a 4 flex. Mine are 4 flex. I actually have less trouble with the touring ski in a 4 than my on hill enduro core. If I have a lazy day or am tired or sore and I get back on my tails on the hill and they spank me pretty quick. Bit of power in the 4 flex tails combined with the hill base seems like less room for error. They like to be driven. The ul in thebackcountry in a 4 flex are relatively easy going . Really don't like the ul's on the hill though, especially in spring if there is refrozen underneath they get tossed. As a dedicated touring ski I like the ul 4. Veneer does add dampness also. Im having a brain fart too, someone bought supre chickens veneer ul's in a 187 and I'd guess that'd be a 4 flex. I think it was "riff".Chicken probably knows the weight and riff probably has some good beta on their skiability(exact ski your looking at). Maybe they'll see this and chime in
Edited: riff has veneer 187 ul gpo 4 flex
