Counterpoint. Getting the rivets out sucked despite following the directions 100% and being careful as fuck. Took many many many tries. Getting the new piece on was easier, but was also tricky...

Weight, price and temperature regulation are the three things Intuition has the GFT beat on. Durability, skiability (compared to other tongue liners), fit tweaking are in the GFT column. I have boots...

25.5. Fucking hell that would help wouldn’t it? Added to OP. Thx!

Bump - dynafits, whitedots and langes still avail

I love the spacer. Makes a noticeable difference.

I ski 183 katanas, 177 Volkl m102s, 186 RPCs. Got the reckoner 102 in a 170 because it was cheap as fuck and K2s are long relative to stated length, and shockingly haven’t had regrets, but also don’t...

I love mine and don't find them mega soft. I ski the 170 at 5'7"/140 lbs and ski pretty fast. If it's full on hardpack nearing ice, I'm on M102s, but the R102s have plenty fine edge grip - they're...

Coming from rearward mounted, longer skis (Katanas, M102s, Mfree 108) I went midsole (backline) on my short 112s (177 at 5'7", 140 lbs) and am glad I did - and am considering even a touch back from...

Orb: tlt5 or 6 with dynafit verticals. Solis with ATK core pro 12 with ZGTP

ETA: The solis is definitely good with my beefed up TLT6s (plug wrap liner, tongue, booster), just been in the habit of...

Yes. I have Orb Fbs and Solis, and there’s no way I’d take the orb over the Solis on a day it’s gonna be firm and/or real steep. Orbs are super fun, but more of a corn and chill winter tour ski.

...

it's a thing for me, too. I noticed the wider stance happening w/o me thinking about it on Reckoner 102s after riding M102s in the morning. the Reckoners were just better skied that way. When I then...

Beasts sold to Dromond!!!

Consolidating a couple threads and adding a pair of skis and boots. I'm in Redmond, OR and at Bachelor 2-3x a week for local pickup/dropoff.

1. SOLD 181 Dynafit Beast 108.
2. 169 Dynafit...

Pretty much exactly the same for me. Skied them today in nonpow and they were fucking awesome. I like them 100% better than the 182 mfree. The only thing they haven’t flat out ruled at is untouched...

I aggressively cut back the tip side of a pair of skins to shave useless weight (tip rocker) on a traditional tip loop skin and they fucking peel back from the base constantly and suck now. Wish I...

Mtb was massive fun today. Wind buffed out a lot of options up high and viz was perfect.

The nwx line went from yuge to zero in one run at about noon. It was fun.

Another mount point question for y'all: I mounted my 177 112s at the midsole (5'8" 140#s, 24.5 boot, getting old at an alarming rate) to be a pow/soft day ski at Bachelor, where it's all about...

2009 Katanas are still used a lot. Still fantastic

I'd add either an old TLT5P or TLT6P (GREEN one, not the Black/Orange one) to those two. The TLTs are more upright in stance vs. the X-Alp/Procline (TLTs are 16 degrees). Yes, old and almost...

Beast bump

Reckoner 102

YES. I've struggling massively to wrap my head around this. Ski Lange RX 130s (12 degrees) and Pivots (5mm delta?) and they're great - feel little too upright (but mostly great) on trad-mounted...

Not a well known ski in the US, but ticks a ton of TGR boxes for a touring ripper. These are 177s, 24.5M radius, 1,600g per ski, low camber with chill tip and tail rocker - maybe like a less edgy,...

Reached out to see if he'd ship and he will, but hasn't shipped skis before and UPS told him $100 for ship + materials. Didn't want to get into it beyond that so I passed, but he's super...

What binding are you using with your ZGTPs?

Pending sale to AlpinWeiss

Dammit, I wish. Miss being in day-trip distance (we're in Bend, OR now), but definitely hit me up if you wanna ski some volcanoes this spring down here! My wife is actually on that side of the border...

Price drop to $300 + ship for Beasts + skins.

Given the massive glut of these in GS at the moment, would also consider trade (+$$) for new 175 Line Vision 108s - i need a new DD touring stick.

All good!

Eyeing 108s as a DD type touring-only rig to be mounted with ATK freeraiders. Weight and price are extremely appealing, as are reviews. At that weight and price, you’re gonna sacrifice something, the...

Dibbs released as tgapp found another option - these are available!

Not bad! A bit of heft to the snow and definitely some … texture to the off piste but still fun

Dibs to tgapp!

And the Dakine poacher vest is the official PNW ski uniform accessory [emoji56]

Ravens are sold, Beasts plus pecut skins still avail - get your slarve on

11 and 14 now according to press, right?

God bless both of you for speaking truth. After the 4th lift ride hearing nonstop about how epic and perfect it was I finally snapped. It took almost three hours to get from Redmond to the lot today,...

also this. warning - they're a bit on the warm side for later spring/summer volcano shit, but that point I'm using cheap ass sun gloves or whatever - just for blister prevention.

Bump for central Oregon snow

Shameless cross post promo for two reverse camber touring classics (4lock Raven, OG Beast 108) in GS: FS: 184 4Lock Ravens, 181 Beasts, both with precut skins:
...

If it’s Pinyon, I reached out and he’s going in another direction

Located in the Bend, OR area and am at Bachelor a few times a week. Will ship at buyer's expense. The sideways pics kinda work I think! :D

Ravens are SOLD

181 Dynafit Beast 108, OG orange...

The shape of the current 106 and the weight of the orange one, I think?

Way exceeded expectations. Tree softness right until closing bell.

Mfree 108 but the obvious answer is the GS 184 Katana - undrilled! Buy it so I don't as a backup.

How do the Visions do in funky 3D backcountry snow - wet pow, light crust, overripe corn, windfunk? They're light with a sub-20m radius and pretty soft, so being twitchy in non-perfect pow is my only...

So, as a touring ski, would require more “on it” skiing style vs a more chill mfree shape, yeah?

I have these (181s) and am willing to sell. Plus the precut skins! Excellent condition. Skied maybe 15 days. One mount on the line for Sollyfit plates for a 25.5 boot. Zero core shots or even base...
