Nice!

I have Ravens as well, mounted with Tectons, and agree with HAB’s assessment.

Sweet TahoePA! BTW I should probably know this by now from the Tahoe thread, but are you a Squawlpine guy or KW or SB or where?

I do the same. Your skins don't really need to be a perfect fit edge to edge as long as they're in the ballpark.

Careful not to brand generalize. I had the Navis Freebirds and didn’t like them at all. The Atris were pretty decent but didn’t like them as much as my Moment Wildcat 108’s. But the Black Crows...

Quiver update for the season...

Black Crows Nocta - 190

Moment Wildcat 108 Tour - 184

Seriously. For some reason that doesn't quite work, unlike, say, Jason Leventhal naming his new brand J skis.

Holy shifts!

The Wrens are staying for sure. The Atris and Wildcats are too similar. After a couple laps on the Wildcats this morning I’m pretty sure they won the battle.

Love the Noctas. A lot. Favorite...

Yes...

I want to hear some Wren 108 vs metal version. Interesting to hear that the metal is lighter.

Edit : oops thought this was the on3p thread.

Those racks from grizzly are the best. I’m about to order a second since I’m only going to need more.

Same as earlier in the thread. Noctas, Anima Freebirds, Atris and Orbs.

The other pair of orange Noctas in that photo I sold since they’re 185 and the white ones are my newer 190’s.

Same. I have six pairs currently and they've all been used this season at least twice.

Installed the rack recommended by whyturn and I’m pretty stoked. Super efficient use of space. One rack holding a snowboard and 10 pairs of skis. As my three kids pile on even more gear it will be...

Says 100 pounds for each shelf... so weight shouldn't be an issue.

Only $42 including shipping. Trigger pulled!

Nice - so really you could hold 12 pairs of skis on one rack if so inclined.

That's pretty nice! may have to change up my ski storage system. Looks like the bars come out far enough to maybe hold a snowboard as well?

^^ nice!

The profile on this year’s Ravens is a big part of the reason I bought them. Looks like a nice stable tail with just enough rocker to make them easy to release and pivot in shitty conditions or tight...

Quiver update... feeling pretty dialed.

Ahh, I just noticed you mounted Shifts on both. I'm doing the same on my new 190 Noctas. I really like the 185's (got to use them a ton last March), but as they are progressively mounted I just...

I have the exact same Noctas (although I'm ditching the 185's and have some new 190's coming in the mail). I'm curious, given that context, how do you like those Atris?

Holy shit! I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised but I still am.

On that note, there's a shop in my area that has the BMT 109's in 186cm for 30% off... making them "only" $900 if anyone is in the market. They're definitely nice looking skis I'd be curious to try...

A lot of people sure seem to like the Head Kore line... but I haven't been on any so can't comment. Blister has some pretty indepth reviews on the 105.

Not many reviews on the BMT because they...

Only for a bit at Revelstoke to try them out and because we were doing slackcountry laps. But generally speaking, no, my Tectons are for touring only. They do ride pretty nice but I have no...

The Tecton 12's are fucking awesome, so I'm going to say no on his behalf. I just got a second pair mounted last week.

Pure touring: Tecton 12 all the way
Slackcountry: Shifts

Done and done. ...

Most of their skis are semi cap construction now, I believe, so that has likely helped with the top sheet chipping.

I'm sure marketing has played a huge role in their growth, but it doesn't hurt...

Fully agree - they definitely seem to be all over the map with their various models.



I'm sure sponsoring a ton of athletes has played a big role in this. I'm not much of a trend chaser, I...

Wow, that anecdotal observation really means so much. I see plenty of beaters on all the brands you mentioned too. So what?

It is worth noting that you can't just assume every Black Crows ski is light. While ON3P's are fairly consistent in terms of burly builds and relatively heavy, there's a much bigger range with the...

The Orbs I was really impressed with. Nice versatility - locked in on groomers but still lively and fun in small powder stashes and variable off piste conditions. Liked them enough that it had me...

Those yellow Anima Freebirds are 115mm underfoot and like 500 grams lighter, so I'm good on the pow touring. Skied the Noctas at Sugar Bowl yesterday from 9am to 3pm and was good to go... they're...

Made some major quiver updates this season...

Those green Black Crows Navis Freebirds will be mounted with Tectons as my do it all touring ski. The unmounted Wren 98’s used to have...

Stock layup, just custom top sheet. They're noticeably quicker to swing around and turn than the 112's. Just a bit more versatile but it seems to make a huge difference.

I was only on them for about 2 hours, but my initial reaction is they might end up being my favorite skis ever. So a good first impression. ;-)

I'm not a good enough skier to be sponsored (although that seems to matter less and less these days). No, just addicted. I've tried a lot of different brands and ON3P just seems to have this...

Feeling pretty dialed...

Same boot size as friends and/or family = awesome.

It actually just happened to work out that way, but I'm not going to pretend I didn't notice / like the color matching.

Pulled down all of my skis from the closet today and scraped off the storage wax.
