Anecdotally, I found when skiing Hoji's at the resort that at least claim to have a matched rocker, once I engaged the tip in a turn, I felt like I could really push it into a very tight arc with the...

Edit: Found them, thanks Fred Pabst!

Need to stock up on a fresh pair with these going out of production. Any floating about before I grab a new pair? Thanks!

Also always interested in 184...

Yeah feels like snow creep is the primary issue even assuming you have an attachment that spreads the tension correctly across the width of the skin.

Also wonder in limited circumstances if a...

Bump, prices dropped

Hah! I'd do it with a square measuring off the vertical end sticking out of the cuff. Iphone could still do the measuring if needed

My anecdotal two cents--the rens went through the opposite rocker evolution compared to the Hojis. Could be good or bad depending on what you want out of them.

I have toured on current Ravens...

Forgot until I pulled these out, both shells have punch to relieve bunion pressure at the big toe joint, shown here. Wear is representative.

Local pickup option in Waterbury/Burlington VT (prices are shipped)

La Sportiva Vega - 25.5. Light for four buckle boot, great ROM, medium-high volume. Skied ~ 4 days, liners have been baked...

Hey Charles--your inbox is full. I'll give you my number to text if you pm me.

Today would work for the cochise (I'll be home from work by 6:00), tomorrow good too. Thanks!

I'll take the pro tour, pm coming

I'll get in line on the Quantum

New with tags. Fully waterproof, seam sealed, rolltop main compartment, should be highly durable material. Can do diagonal, A-frame, one-sided carry and has loops to organize avy gear(not a...

I did a more free-hand approach using the templates to assist with initial location. Probably a little more time consuming ("measure thrice+, drill once"), but gave me more confidence. If you have...

I'm also using the Hoji BSL method, and I ended up somewhere between 0 and -0.5cm after converting to an easy to remember imperial fraction. My boots are usually 1 shell size bigger than Hoji uses...

Also have the tourlock version. Sprung for them for the dumbest reason--my dog likes to step on my tails when she gets tired in deep snow. Now she can ride along all she wants and my skins stay on....

Here a two minor points (I have not skied 196 Protest, or 196/191 Ren FWIW).

1. You say one of the main reasons to switch from protest to ren as your main pow-touring ski are tough BC conditions...

IME less forgiving = more form/balance feedback. Or at least feedback that you are used to and have the muscle memory to adjust balance if you spend most of your time on stiffer skis. Start going...

I'm in if it comes together

Less importantly, load them up through a compression with a tighter radius then the rocker, or porpoise into 3D snow.

FKNA, they will feel right at home. Should be great complement to those big bros. Enjoy, hope your getting some of this coming storm.

That's right! They served me super well and were on my feet for just about every legitimate powder day up until last year. I think this was my first real day out on them (30" while I was luckily...

Quite well, given their intentions. I could be wrong here, and I'm not the original owner of these, but I think the layup here isn't a pure carbon, but a mix of carbon/glass. In any event, that's...

186 Carbon Lhasa's, I remember them being around 1850-1900g, happy to weigh again if someone cares. Lay-up blems, 2 mounts, and significant top-sheet wear. Ski nicely and bases/edges in great...

$30 OBO, located in VT. Shipping extra, but that price is far from firm. Per B&D it looks like these are designed for Speeds, TLTs, Comforts, etc, but should work for Verts and can be modified with...

FWIW My 187s from that year had a midsole mark that was off by 3-4 cms, the guidance from Hoji linked above works very well. That post recommends moving the mark back a bit for longer BSL.

It's been a while since I've been in CO. I imagine RAX would be too hair-trigger for Rocky Mt snowpack, touching off buried layers.

Too bad...

Also a wide 9, I’m usually always in a 25/25.5 for touring or otherwise. Haven’t had many Dynafit boots on tho..

PM incoming on Yetis

2012

PM incoming whyturn!

I've always really liked that graphic, a few extra grams be damned.

Feeble summertime bump

Thanks, looks like a good deal. That was the last year of the heavier rens I believe--also a great year for that ski with extra damping layers+weight.

Anyone holding? 0-2 mounts, want some touring rens. Thanks!

I’ll get in line on Vipecs

Can't speak for the pata or cilo, but the Cirque is perfectly dialed for touring. Haven't tested its versatility, but for just skiing and no overnights, there's nothing I'd change about that pack. ...

If I squint hard enough looking at my blue/heavy pair I’d agree the rocker is just a touch less in that profile shot. But mine have more days on them.

I’m trying to fill out that same hoji...

Fuck. Tail firmly tucked between legs. Thanks Jon, and a huge apology to those that tried. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Yeah it seems like it must have been designed in. Seems like it was a casualty of “user manuals” that just serve as a legal warning to take bindings to an authorized dealer before each run.

Glad it worked for ya!

Try this:

Keep your toes in and locked. Raise the lighter high riser to meet your boot sole at an angle (see photo). Step down on the high riser. This will push the heel unit back in its track...

Mohair or nylon?

Second this, especially the 186. Just because they love speed doesn't mean that you need to be 100% on it to ski them. Damp, straight, and predictable means you can get moving without having to...

MY OG LP's have a nearly identical rocker in just one tip. I always superstitiously put them on the same feet so I had a quick-turn/skid/shutdown ski for my weak side and the stronger edge for my...

I haven’t heard anything, but didn’t expect to being at the back of the dibs line.

I’ll get in line on the rens

FKNA, sold.

One of the longest skiing 184's out there.

Had dreams of reliving the original LP glory days but since returning to VT, my two days of resort days/year do not justify these.

One mount for Beast 14 on the line, 300 bsl, skied 3 days, spent...

Bump..

Bump, make an offer
