AV, did you rent or bring your own bike? I'm headed to TS area in early April, and thinking about doing a day riding in TS, and maybe a day riding in La Ventana. Wondering if there are halfway decent...

Love my Mammut Wall Rider for spring conditions.

$48! from bc.com RN

Great comp - bummed they couldn't get a second run. I love that Wildseeloder face.

Is there any ski brand that has ever brought so many skis to market so quickly?!

ETA: on BC 110, would love to see some measured specs (weight, specifically) and rocker pics. Thx!

Does anyone like Ravens (or new versions of Hojis) in maritime snowpacks? All of the love for these skis seems to come from Colorado (Blister), Utah, and interior BC.

In the California Sierra...

Love my Alpinists, and would love taller risers, so I'm very excited about this aftermarket project. Sign me up! Where is the other thread with the proto results? I can't find it.

Shoot, if you...

Alas, it sold before I got to it. Pretty good deal too.

Looks like I'm gonna try a WNDR Intention RC.

How is the shape and size of the heel cup? If good for you, I'd try some different liners first. The stock liners (before 22/23) are known to be crappy ass craptastic bullshit liners.

[Asshole...

10-4, grazie. May have just found a used pair (with Voyagers) locally.

Thread drift....

I know Moment sold a run of Meridians this year. Any chance a run of Meridian Tours will return?? I'd love to try a pair of 187s. Paging Melee...

Thx for the review of the Mega Jim!

I swooped on the Evo.com sub-$300 La Machine thinking it was that one - turns out it is for the 126 underfoot (non-Mega). Looks like an awesome ski, but not the...

Dat fresh new look…

Is there gonna be a flatter-tailed, no-camber Wild Commander Tour 110 next year or what?

Thx, responded - you and Red7 are both interested.

Apparently they're not pending...

Thanks Marsh, very useful. That's what I had gleaned too. Planning to go BC110.

Sorry to be a pain, but at least to my eyeballs, the image of the BC110 sure looks like it has a rounded tail, at...

FS: barely-used Tour Wrap, size 28. $75+ship (located in Truckee, CA). Price PoPo if you think that's off.

Price drop bump

Wildcats are pending.

Deathwish and X-Drives and tour wrap still available.

Rad (and yikes!) - line choice makes sense. But those are also really sweet lines. I'll need to check those out next time.

Thanks much for the offer - alas, I am bigfooted with 327 BSL.

That's rad.

Wondering how to choose a BC110 v. a C113 for day-in, day-out, bigger touring days in the mountains seeking soft snow, ski. But sometimes, you encounter not soft snow. Kinda like a...

That BC 110 looks money. BC 110 and C 132 may be headed my way for next year. :biggrin:

How have the carbon layups been skiing for folks? Especially for any skis smaller than the C132.

Well.

That was lust-inducing.

Is that the Buttress at Alpine? Doesn't look like the usual entry from the top, but the rest looks about right.

I really REALLY want to try this ski now.
...

Oh yeah, I have some 190 Wildcat 108s for sale ($300 - flat) and some pretty tatted up 190 Deathwish ($225 with STH 16).
...

186 Bananas arrived, and damn are they fun. Glad I listened to melee and went shorter than I would ever have considered for a pow ski. I had tried the 193 but that felt long for my tired/broken knee....

Still available.

I would sell the skis flat too - lemme know what price you think would be fair.

Yours if she/want them.

Revised Deathwish price to reflect more jacked-up bases than I'd remembered. Sorry about that. They'd be fine with a tune.

Damn. How much money do the mags bring into TGR's coffers every year? I bet more than their movies. And yet this picture upload just sucks bunghole. Sorry guys...

Yes please!! That C110 appears to be exactly what I'm looking for....

Probably 20-25 days on them. I like em like that. :biggrin: Still hold an edge but so surfy and slarvey too.

Also, are anyone else's Rustlers basically totally flat (no camber)?

Me gusta.

Old news...

But on my 21/22 188 R11s, I decided to move the mount up again from the rec line to +1. (And now mounted with Cast.)

Holy crap - I cannot believe how much I love them at +1. So...

Oh dang. Good to know. Thanks

Yeah - WHAT

PM sent on BMTs. :yourock:

EDIT: alas, they are sold.

Next time there is a 28.5 Krypton, can you let me have it?!? I think this is the second one you've nabbed before me. :eek:

Funny joke, PD! Hahaha.

Heh - I interacted with you about this bike on Pinkbike. Sweet rig.

Hello from Truckee! (I think I want something a bit more road/gravel specific, as I have MTBs coming out my ears.) GLWS - sweet...

JDad and I have the same foot size, shape, and taste in boots. And skis. lol.

I guess put me second in line - I would probably just keep the shell and re-sell the liner.

Pomoca Free Pro with Hoji 4-lock for 191 Hoji (top): 192g

Pomoca Climb Pro S-Guide for 190 Wildcat 108 (bottom): 302g

I could be wrong but the glide seems relatively similar, and yet the Climb...

Wes, assume you mean the pre-2022 much more rockered version of the Hoji, yes?

Here are my recs from getting MN from a too-narrow pair of Dalbellos:

- Invest...

2023 bump: what's out there now in the 102-114 range, preferably around 1800-1900g/ski.

Katana VWerks (1960g for 184)
Heritage Labs C113...

You retired from Ticketbastard? Flock those dingholes. Unless you mean you retired from buying tickets from them, which means...you don't see music anymore? I can't understand why you would be happy...

A+!!!

Badass - thanks for sharing the straight dope.

Is the 192 R11 still significantly burlier than the [checks notes] 186 R11? I understand the first-gen had a stiffer layup or something.

When will...
