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

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.

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,...

after putting 300+ days on my 11/12 billygoats i hadn’t owned any for too long. finally fixed it. think the top sheets make them spin? 406896

I really don’t want to get in the way of your other hobbies…

Been holding out on new skis. This broke me. Have a new pair of BG118s ordered with this topsheet and the matching base. Haven't owned BGs for 2 years now, and that's just unacceptable. ON3P pointed...

pretty sure you will die.

Been absolutely loving some ?2018? maybe veneer Wrenegades as a touring ski, but they seem a bit overkill. Debating a woodsman or bg tour with, you know, an actual tour core. I've got a deep day tour...

I found the C&D pretty much a perfect snow ski. On anything chopped, or variable, I didn't like the feel much. Billygoat is much more IDGAF. When conditions are perfect (cat skiing and not hit by sun...

Are they out of wood top sheets?

Thank you

They're veneer, so they're light... or something. Mounted with Tectons. I should probably get a real touring rig for long days. But, for one lap, it's so worth it.

Took the wrenegades out for a pre-work tour today. They're too fun. Couldn't wipe the grin off my face, a nice change from the last couple weeks.

Finally got to fondle a pair of supergoats. Can't wait to get these on snow. 5.02kg for the pair, yaaaaaaaas

My little brother (5'9" 72ish kilos) skis a 179 BG, machs, and never wants a longer ski. Finds it a plenty stable landing platform. If you're used to shorter skis, I don't think you need the BG to be...

you're right. Soul 7 is the answer.

Those numbers really don't give you enough info. Taper points, rocker profile, weight, core material, mount point, and on and on are different.

Can give you BG vs Quixote (enduro core). BG floats a little more. BG charges heavy chop a little better. Quixote is a bit easier to pivot. Quixote edges/carves better. I take the Quixote out more...

i think it’s the difference that’s not clicking. i’m getting worked even when deep snow has been chopped up but still feels goood on bgs or protests

I know this is heresy...

I am not really finding any versatility with my C&Ds. Wondering if I'm completely alone in this experience/can't ski/whatever, or if I'm just too fat for tour core. I'm...

Took the C&Ds on a trip just now.

TL;DR - They’re a wider, softer BG, and they ski like it. In their element, they are surfier, more stable, better. Out of their element, they are worse. No...

Taking C&Ds and Qs on a trip end of month. Will ski both ... for science?

it wasn’t unpredictable when i wasn’t there, just not as magical. another way i could say it is that when i was a bit back from where i wanted to be it was not squirrely, just ok to turn instead of...

Got out on the C&Ds on a good day for them, finally. Feels like they like to be ridden a little further forward than protests.

Felt like there's a narrower sweet spot than my old BGs, but when I'm...

ON3P's new bump ski.

Yeah, this is how it seemed when I got a few deep turns. I didn't buy C&Ds for shallow chop, or bumps for that matter. Just guessed wrong about the day. Excited to run them in their element.

This makes me very happy. Had my first day on C&Ds Sunday, and it wasn't great. I thought I was going out to a foot of decent fresh, it was more like 4-6" of heavily skied cement on top of chunks and...

I found the flex 4 protest more of a charger (by a little bit) in deep, soft snow, and just as agile in same. BGs (2011 191, feels like 6-9-8 on the ON3P flex scale) better if there's any wind/sun...

sell something else...

What additional detuning (if any) are people doing for C&Ds?

Thanks to the recent C&D stoke, there's now one pair of C&Ds in 189 left for the year. Here's hoping there's enough snow for me to side-by-side with 192 protests.

the recent c&d stoke has me wondering. anyone been on both c&d and protest?

well, that escalated quickly

I finally put a few days on wren 108s. I've ridden old Kartel 106s for quite a few days. To my mind, there's not much overlap between these skis. (Kartels were 186, wrens are 189)

The wrens are...

ranger 115s at least are pretty damp and comfortable in chop. best kind of boring ski. they just go where you point them in a rather uneventful manner. i bought wrens instead though. more fun.

...

Good fun this august, thank you! Yeah, I am a terrible photographer. Fuck it.

have a pair of 11/12 191 bgs. have never actually sharpened the edges. put a lot of days on them. haven’t ridden them inbounds in a few years. finally rode them inbounds last month. no edges is a bit...

Feels like that's not a ski for this audience. Way too short attention span around here.

Always wanted a fail whale powder ski:

I mean, I could probably be convinced to sell something from the quiver to make room. But, no, it's not going to be the BGs or the wrens.

Tried to hold out, couldn't do it. Some wrens finally joining the quiver. Skin clip tail and veneer top basically makes them a full-on touring ski, right? (Keep telling myself that...). Still need to...

Still wondering about these while the custom sale is on.

oh yeah, it’s just about veneer and tour core.

yeah, i think that’s kinda my jam. spent much of this season on head monsters. my dd the last few (6) years has been the bg 191s, which are a bit more centered, but i don’t mind driving.

Recommend me a ski. I think I want wren 108s, I'm not positive about touring core or veneer.

Going to mount with Tectons/Switches(if I can find them). I'm leaning towards the Wren 108, but ...

FWIW, picked up some 179 BGs (year before asym, but similar) for my brother. he’s never wanted a longer ski, hucks and straightlines plenty on them. he’s 5’9”, 175. i like the bigger skis, but the BG...

From the podcast page, the full lineup is now Wren 96, 108, 114. No 88.

So close... Green bases were the best to watch spin.
