Haven't tried the new version, but for me the 2012/2013 Squad 7 fills this role in my quiver. I think it has an ideal blend of stability, versatility, and playfulness. Mine are mounted at -1.

Awesome deal. If I didn't already have a pair I'd be all over this!

My preference is also SIGs - P220 or the new P227. As far as budget 1911s go, I've heard good things about the Ruger SR1911 - it can be had for around $650. The Smith and Wesson E-series is also...

Are you guys serious? Did you happen to catch the date of that release?

These were actually the inspiration for this thread. I've got a pair of '06 race room 186cm LPs and '09 187cm XXLs that I still think are great all these years later and if any skis could be called...

There have obviously been a lot of changes in ski technology over the past several seasons. But even if it doesn't have rocker/elliptical sidecut/flipcore/whatever... a good ski is still a good ski,...

There was a recall on the 12 DIN Kastle-branded Markers due to spring breakage issues. Probably why Kastle now rebrands Tyrolias as their own.

dark_star -Thanks for the feedback. I'm curious if you shortened the screws or used the full length. If you used the full length, what is your BSL?

Bumping because I just picked up a pair of MX88s and noticed the sticker that says they don't conform to ISO 8364 standards and require a screw insertion depth of 6mm +/-0.5. Will I be OK mounting...

Demoed some 12-13 Squads earlier in the year to experiment with the mounting point before having mine mounted. Tried them at 0, -1, and -2. -1 felt perfect for me and provided the most versatility....

The Variant 97 sounds like the reincarnation of the original Legend Pro.

Shorter than you are looking for, but thought I'd throw it out anyway. Selling these for my wife. Price is negotiable - especially for mags:

Dibs on the Rossis pending some info on the condition.

What is the turn radius on these?

At Jackson Hole earlier this year, my wife spotted a woman with knee pads AND elbow pads ski down the snow steps into the gondola line using the concrete to bring herself to a stop. She took her...

Spotted a kid in his teens getting ready to leave with his friend and his friend’s dad after returning their rental gear. Problem is, he can’t find his shoes anywhere. After thinking about it, he...

I've been using Cat Tracks for years - work great. Personally, I think it's fucking stupid to needlessly trash your gear - especially boots in which you may have invested a significant amount of...

This has turned into a very interesting thread. Didn't know about the Tuvans.

What I've been using as a two-ski travel quiver:
190cm Rossignol Squad 7 (120mm waist)
186cm Dynastar Legend Pro (97mm waist)

What I think I want to go to:
190cm Rossignol Squad 7 (120mm waist)...

Cool! Thanks!

Agree. I think I'm ready to retire my XXLs in favor of the Squad 7. They seem to do most of what the XXL can do but are more fun doing it.

Nice work! Cool to see some Michigan stoke (I'm in South Lyon).

Any 190s out there?

Lestoil took the chairlift-grease stains out of my wife's event jacket.

Looking for them in 190cm. Might consider 184cm as well.

For me it had to be the teal Rossi 7S I saved up for as a kid. I ended up selling them to a guy that collects vintage skis on Epic. They are the ones in these pics (the yellow 9S were mine also):...

Just saw this on CleanSnipe:

zuschauer: What size were you on?

nevwild - thanks for sharing that.

Sent an email. Thanks!

Have fun! Don't worry about that knee. After tearing my meniscus while weightlifting back in November I had an MRI that confirmed that my left ACL has been gone for around 20 years. At the time...

This put a smile on my face. Too many people live their lives paralyzed with fear and never get to feel the joy of success. Sometimes you just have to hurl yourself down the in-run and see what...

Last week while riding the gondola at Jackson Hole with a couple other people, one of them mentioned that she saw someone skiing with two GoPros. I suddenly became very interested in their...

Without the slightest bit of sarcasm, I have to say this man is my hero. He has both the resources AND the time to ski at multiple locations throughout North America while living in New York. He's...

When I first put the boots on, I initially have them one notch looser from where I would normally ski them. Maybe you're right - this could be too tight. I'll try starting with them looser next...

I love my ZipFits (Gara's with older Nordica HotRods). I bought them a couple years ago from Steve Bagley at Superior Ski. The performance is night and day over the stock liners - I've never felt...

I remember going to Popova Sapka with my parents as a kid (they are Macedonian/Serbian) during a family summer vacation. Maybe someday I'll make it back in the winter for some skiing. Great TR. ...

Thanks for the advice. Steve has done some bootfitting work for me in the past and I already have an appointment with him for some Zipfits, but I've never had any work done on my skis there. Good...

I'm headed to Snowbird at the end of this week and need have a binding mount done there (FKS 140 bindings mounted on XXL's). Can anyone recommend one of the local shops? Is Christy Sports pretty...

Do you know what the toe and heel heights are on these?

What are the skis?

There were no changes to the XXLs between 08/09 and 09/10 according to the Dynastar brand manager in the video to the right of the following page:

I guess I'll get in line for these as well. I'd also like to know what BSL and mounting location.

Interested in the FKS bindings. PM Sent.

I'm interested in the Axial2 140's if garuda doesn't take them.
