Anyone able to compare the new Enduro veneer with a heavy veneer in the same ski??

Thanks for the numbers jdadour.

I think Betel has a heavy RX.
Paging Betel to the white courtesy phone for weight please.

So HAWT!

You and me both. That ski is high on my radar to ski. The shape and waist width just looks perfect.

This. After Tabke broke the spats he came up with the idea for the ProTest.

They get in yer blood.

It’s how it’s spelled not how I spell it. It’s so good the T has to be capitalized.

ProTest

Dang!

I would love to hear thoughts on a +10 ProTest as well. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone mention owning them on here. Not sure I would need them as I have no issue with the standard ProTest when...

Closest thing to the PB I skied was the spatula. Loved them in pow,slush, corn but hated them everywhere else. The ProTest takes all the best things about the PB/ spat but makes it betterer for lift...

The ProTest is a kickass ski. The only place I find it doesn’t kick ass is very hard pack conditions, duh, and higher density cut up snow due to the girth underfoot causing a rough ride. I like...

Those are sick dude! Sounds like the vert eaters you were hoping for.

But the skinny RX is 12mm wider at the tail than the waist. So not really a pintail. That 2mm should allow it to finish a turn and not wash out.

You and me both. The skinny RX has really piqued my interest.

Sick man! Imma go -2 on mine. Or at the very least -1.5. More than likely -2. Is the snow is soft, these are THE RIGHT ski.

Sexy!!

The more I stare at them the more that makes sense

((((raises hand))))

Hmmm. I measured my 188’s and found I’m actually 102.25 from the tip. I remember having hole conflict that pushed me forward an RCH. After doing some side by side comparo with my new 192’s I was...

Sounds great.
I think the shape of the ProTest lends itself to a stiffer flex. There are instances when I feel my 188’s are too soft. Super playful though.

Wait what? You have a 3 flex 192 ProTest and a 4 flex?

Silver but I ski Schweitzer quite a bit.
Not sure how you’ll handle our lack of lift lines....[emoji6]

Agreed! I’ll be your way a time or two I hope. If you ever want to come over this way let me know.
Thanks, I dig the clean look.

Cool. Skiing with you at BS, we ski similar’ish. I like to haul the mail as well. Pretty close in size also. My ProTest are enduro flex #4. I waver from a driver to progressive esp in soft snow on my...

Nick and Luke, how tall heavy are you guys? Skiing style?

I see what what you did there. Lol.
Enduro veneer.......

Agree on the enduro/veneer what what flowing wants. I talked to Keith about carbon on my ProTest and he suggested to stay with the enduro/veneer build since I was lookin for a damp inbounds pow ski...

N1ck, what makes you want to go on the line? Where are you at on the 188? I’m 102.5 from the tip on 188 which is about -1.7 and thinking about going -1.0 on my 192. Love the 188 where I have them.

Sick skis jmars! I did all black bases on mine so don’t feel bad.

So I unwrapped my ProTest. Holy fuck. The finish is amazing. Looks so much better than behind plastic, duh. Hope you guys don’t mind another pic since the plastic wrap one doesn’t do them justice. ...

Hahaha!

These just showed! Stoked!

Super sick, Kopi!!

Sick! Same length/build/flex as what I did.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

This guy right here! Cannot wait!

Can’t wait to A and B them with ya on a fat pow day!

It’s funny how that only seems to work when she buys shit. When I do it it’s, “ oh, another pair of skis?” With a big eye roll.

Yeah, was hoping sooner as I’ll be out of town when they arrive. The wife is going to be excited when they show up.....

FKNA mang!!

Hopefully my cc gets a hit for the remainder and they ship soon.
Mine are back row on the far left.

I see one of my ProTest lurking next to yours in the email group photo!

You guys are killing me. Now I’m checking my email every 20 mins!

None. Just wood with praxis and ProTest on them. I love the plain wood look.

Custom 192 ProTest. Enduro core, oak veneer, 4 flex ordered. Stoked. Gonna be super sexy.

Sorry man but I will never sell them.

^ Can you please elaborate on the feel of enduro/Carbon/veneer? I am looking to build a custom 192 ProTest 4 flex for an inbounds pow slayer. I own the 188 and and love the on snow feel and want to...

Very true....

^ But I emailed them before snowmageddon...... not looking for a response today. He'll probably respond next week when the snow settles down and everyone has their fill of face shots! Super stoked...
