Sad.


but that weight seems promising. Probably could send to Cast for conversion. Fischer and K2 both look to have low volume riveted boots with tech fittings next year. I just know that the...

Remedy 130 have tech fittings on the toes? I know it’s a niche market, but I’d love to have a riveted resort boot with tech toes and the Atomic fit without having to drop $200 for a Cast conversion....

Thanks for the quick and honest response.

Looking for some advice on some lightly used Hawk ultra 120s that I can pick up cheap. I’m currently using some Lange RS WC 140s I picked up this year and got dialed after about a month of work. I’m...

I feel the same way about the QST 106. I got a pair super cheap off a demo rack. They are decent when it’s soft, not great in powder, and suck on hardpack on ice despite putting a super sharp 1/3...

Update review on the Mirus Cor:
I ended up getting some new plug boots from Lange this year, and it has been a great combo with the Mirus Cor. I’ve been amazed by its edge hold on early season...

Mount on the line. Of course I say that without knowing your height/ weight/ boots/ ski style. I have the V1 Anima in 194 mounted 1 cm forward as I felt the old design was a little sluggish in tight...

I just noticed that Lange has a Shadow 140 LV. Haven’t seen a shop with them, but that seems like the equivalent to the RS 130 in terms of price and features like cam power strap and liner. I would...

You think that you can get away with it in Colorado, but trust me your membrane is getting clogged with all sorts of stuff from sweat vapor. And the DWR gets refreshed by dryer heat. The new DWRs...

Just got my first few days on mine. I just left them at the shop today for their first few grinds and punches. At least, it won’t take near the work of a 92 shell. First impression is holy cow,...

I got a couple pairs a few years ago because I had a good discount. They are decent long underwear but do very little for compression. They fit well under my ACL braces so I still use them. I use...

That’s why I’m psyched they came out with the RS WC with the 95 last for my skinny foot. I just picked up a pair this season and yes I will need some shell work. Also, I was getting tired of blowing...

The little time I spent on an Atris, it made me think of it as BC’s Soul 7. Lots of people love it, just not for me. The Anima on the other hand, is like a significantly beefed up JJ or Super 7,...

I initially felt that with center mounted with the Animas, but I found when I skied lower with a more cross-under race style transitions, I could stay centered and use dolphin turn techniques to...

I added to my Crows quiver after coming across a sweetheart of a deal on some Mirus Cor demos. I figure I can easily unload them if I don’t like. Took them out today for the first time while coaching...

I got my kid some used demo skis with the Strive demos on it. It’s low. I remember reading it has the same stack height as the regular Strive. It’s been nice to be able to change the mount point for...

They list 176, 181, 186, and 191. That’s a great size range. Nice to see every 5cm as opposed to something like the Mfree 108 with 10cm...

That camber looks pretty minimal, like the Cochise perhaps. Description definitely puts it in the same Cochise/ Corvus category as it is now. Although, his comment about 186 being the longest option...

I really do like his style. Chargy with freestyle to back it up.

looks like some fun on the new Corvus.

I pretty much daily drive the Animas if there has been any recent snow. I use the Corvus’s in low tide or if I’m worried about pow over ice. The chop destroying capabilities are one of my favorite...

I have the Birdie Animas with the gold Pivots and all the young dudes think it’s steezy. My 14 yo skinny kid who is 5’7” and 110 lbs is on the 176 Animas and loves them. He’s never complained about...

Looks like Virgile Didier qualified for the Freeride Challengers on the new Corvus. He previously skied what looked like the current version of the Anima in comps. He also posts a lot on the outgoing...

That’s definitely the specs of the old one including the turn radius. How do we know those are Turdell’s? Did he post a pic while dropping a deuce? You think if they made him a custom top sheet they...

I appreciate your comparison between the two. Personally, I’m digging the concept of the new one at least in the short size however, here in central Colorado, maybe I’d find the new 194 too big?? I...

since I was replying to a post about widening the Anima, yeah.

steffenator I only got one day on it, but I was really surprised by how stable the 182s were. They were super fun in tight trees and bumps. My 194s are the OG ones, so there is a little more between...

I sure hope not. It performs so well on firmer snow for a 115 ski. Even with the new Corvus as an option Turdel is still skiing the Anima as his comp ski. If it goes wider, it would be a much less...

Your write up has me wanting one for sure. I like the outgoing Corvus a lot, love the Anima. The new Corvus seems to blend the two.

GoldenBC thanks for the quick review. Sounds like an awesome ski, albeit maybe not the same usefulness as a low tide ski that the current Corvus is, which has replaced my Bonafides in use this year....

Thanks for the IBU (International Banana Unit). From that it seems about the same splay as the Anima. Maybe slightly deeper rocker than the current gen Anima and more like the gen 1 Anima. If that’s...

With that much tail splay, I hope they have a length longer than 191. Should have at least had a size to match the 194 Anima

edit: actually hard to see how much rocker that is in the tail without...

It kind of sounds like a skinnier Anima. If that’s the case with the addition of metal, it could be pretty fun and could sell well. Might not sound great to all the current Corvus fans though.

PSA:

182 Anima Birdie for $400. Same as regular Anima, just top sheet change.

As I haven’t met many shop guys that liked the outgoing Corvus, I’m reserving my opinions until I get a chance to ski them, or at least some mags on here have a chance to review them. That said, from...

after finding a crack in my Cochise 130 dyns, I’ve gone back to my Lange Rx130s I had Cast do the tech fittings. Unless I can get Technician to warranty, I think I may be back to riveted boots with...

1.3/2.8 BC likes a sharp ski that can pivot. I agree with their sentiment.
I run my Corvus and Animas at 1.5/3 because I can only bevel to half a degree.
https://www.evo.com/guides/ski-edge-bevel

Well, shit. I just checked my boots because of this thread and mine have the same crack. 484536

I do love the boot though. I even just replaced the liner with another new stock one because it’s...

Oh dang!

Yeah the R110 and R105 look fun. Although, one thing I like with the current Corvus is with the mount point at -8cm, it has lots of tail for stomping landings with no backslap, ever. The reverse...

Looks really tiny in the photo, I’m hoping it’s like more of a notch for skins.

Actually, the new Corvus looks to fit the slot of what the Freeride competitors are looking for. They want the twin tip, high speed stability, and usually a little camber. The Anima is a good ski,...

leaked photo in the BC thread showed the Corvus with a 25m turn radius.

They said on IG weight loss is 242 grams for ski mode and 92 grams for touring mode. They don’t specify if that’s per pair or binding. I originally read that as per binding as that’s how they always...

The weight reduction in ski mode is pretty significant. 240 ish grams they posted on IG. Dropping a half pound on the toe will be welcomed while skiing. And then a full pound lighter in the pack.

That tail in the photo doesn’t look all that far off from a FB Corvus. At least, with a turned up tail. The notch for a skin clip also has me thinking FB. 483133

I hear the Cochise’s time is limited

Yeah, would like details on new Corvus. Trying to find out if I need to hoard current model soon. The truth is, it hasn’t been that popular in the states. Not many shops stock it, mostly just the...

Hopefully, they will still sell extra ski set kits. That’s been one of the biggest advantages of the current system is being able to make my whole quiver Cast for relatively cheap with old heels....

Personally, I think you can go to a ski with a little more center mount than you are asking at -9 if you go longer and get the combo of directional feel and surfy. Soothsayer ran the numbers last...
