Newer "pro plus" lofoten bibs have a reinforced material on the inside cuff, but its not great. Seen some other brands go to sturdier options.

ah, cool, thank you. I def don't need a 9.5 then. M88 is hard to find a speed limit on. straighter and same stiffness seems pretty likely to top out long after I do.

What stiffness would you put the monster 88 at? I know it's a bit of an odd profile

protests for sure

along these lines, if you can find an old pair of the armada arv 96 ti, they’re great for this. metal in a short twin tip makes for some adaptability when you get to move

I'll play. Is it Estelle?

they were bombing by 6 am, and from the sound of it, snow was moving a lot. between that and the wind, the closure seemed pretty reasonable.

similarly many bombs at alpine. lots of snow movement too. saw slides all over, including some huge tears.

after emailing you and declaring i wouldn’t buy more skis, i’ve got monster replacements on the way. and since i was there already, swallowtails. damn, you’re good at this.

R110s look fun...mounted my FR110s just a couple days ago, having a bit of fomo already.

anyone know if a new c&d is in the works? some regrets from passing mine on

edit: i don’t care if i have to fix an edge, really

any chance you can elaborate on better in pure untracked? on l138s for mechanized backcountry and while they’re a bit silly wide, i can’t quickly think of any shortcomings. but i haven’t skied older...

Adaptive ski programs are usually looking for sturdy skis for sit skiers. If there's an adaptive program in your area, I wouldn't be surprised if they can use it. The sitskis break a lot of skis.

Think the Lotus 117 will still be so floppy it chatters in fresh pow?

Take with a grain of salt as I never skied the OGs, but I've got some "current" L138s, and they're fabulous. pivot, float, playful, great fun, can turn on a dime, don't have to. In deep untracked, I...

lol, roughly what alpenglow sells them for new.

Have a pair of BG118s that need to get mounted for this season. Ended up ordering and not skiing last year (don't have kids). Sounds like I should just get them tuned when I mount them. Yes, I know,...

really nice

If the guy who gave me a cleat bolt near jackass is on tgr, thank you. absolutely saved my day.

+1 to ski the c&d more before selling. sold mine after some less than fun experiences on really weird suncrust, but the only other ski i’ve been on that’s as fun in continental powder is the L138

...

the key advantage to the fr16 over the fr14 in my experience was that it was in stock locally.

Lange XT130s, last year's model I think. Skied a bit, could never get the heel hold I needed. Have uncooked stock liners and also a pair of cooked once palau liners.

In tahoe, local pickup only.

Sturdier skis still available. Get some great, fancy skis for cheap, help make the world better. Force me to match funds. Help make room in my closet for new skis.
