^Menace’s are fun for sure, good for some casual laps but I feel undergunned when I want to open things up.

Anybody have time on the new Pros? How the heck do I decide between Mpro99 and Mpro100?...

I love science! Eagerly awaiting your report.

Thanks for your insight.
I probably need a Pro108 anyway so I can charge 3mms harder than the Pro105.
I never considered the Cham 2.0 117 but it could be a good option.

Ha. That reminds me I do have 186 Lhasa Pows tucked away in the back of my shed. Never got around to skiing them but maybe they will be the ticket.


I feel the same..



Ya I should just try...

What y’all skiing for a dedicated pow ski.
Like 30cms overnight and you’re expecting to score fresh tracks all morning.

105s don’t quite have the float but kill it once things are chopped up. ...

Pro108 - how do the lengths compare to the LP105? Do the 108s ski longer, shorter, or similar?

I skied the 192 LP105 for years, although last season I found myself reaching for the 184s more...

Cinderella is my middle name.
I’m guessing these are Giver’s?

There is a pair for sale on the Vancouver facebook buy n sell if you have any Vancouver connections…

For sure. But for laying trenches on chopped up groomers it is in a league of its own.

My quick take on Menace 98:

These are extremely fun carvers at low/medium speed. At higher speeds/choppier conditions these lacked the backbone I was hoping for. They will not usurp the OGLP and...

Yea, great skis if you like traditional chargers.
They are a bit easier to swing around than the OG LP but still have a very solid backbone. They charge hard and lay trenches.
I still ski mine...

No metal. And just a bit of wood?

I hope so. I’m not in the 108 club but spend 1/3 my days on 105s and 1/3 my days on OG LPs.
I am stoked to see how similar the shape and cut of the Menace is to the 186 OG LP. Looks like a...

Thanks, found your pics here:

I think they are what I’m...

Can anyone compare the length of the 187cm Menace98/Slicer to something like the OG 186 Legend Pro?
My ‘186’ Big Troubles feel like snowblades…

The first fat ski afaik was the Big Powder (circa ‘97 maybe?), not sure if anyone competed on those or if the hardcores were still hucking on straight skis like the Radical Extreme.

From there the...

Nope.
The longest length that Inspireds were made in was 188cm.

The SuperNobis, father of the Prorider, was made in 194cm with Inspired graphics.
Supernobis = 90mm waist and upturned tail. ...

Nord was selling a pair earlier this year, post #387 in the pivot gearswap thread.

Skisthetrees was selling a pair more recently:...

The OG Dynastar powder ski.
Dimensions are 115-90-108.
190 is woodcore, shorter lengths are made of styrofoam and were known to snap in half.
Probably a pretty legit charger but it is one of the...

I toured half a season on Big Dumps/P18/Trekkers. I was high on adrenaline and loving it for the first five days. The novelty wore off and I finally smartened up and mounted Dynafits on XXLs…

Any notable differences between OG LP105 and current M-Pro-Pro?
I see the bases are no longer black..so the new iteration is obviously a few km/h slower.
If I close my eyes will I feel any...

Holy faaack! What a score. Ya I need those.
Whenever you need to rehome those you know who to call...

I don’t think they’re worth the cost of cross border shipping. If you ever want to rehome the 207s though....

Ya the 4x4 Powertrac was 186/192.
And ‘02 for the orange/sage Intuitiv Big sounds right.

This is reminding me of some skis I need to hunt down...192 Powertracs, 194 Arnos and LVS’ 207 chicken...

Well this is fun!



'98 was before I knew what powder was, I was crushing gates on the SF/SL back then, but I think you're reminiscing over the '02 Intuitiv Bigs..



The real OG! The...

Truth!

^you in Canada? I know of some 175s for peanuts...

Ditto. A tune and switching to some real bindings have brought these things to life...

its nothing a couple pair of thick wool socks doesn't fix.



Thanks. Somehow the 192s seem a bit more lively for me. (I forget if I mounted my 192s on the line and they are currently 1200km...

Any comments on 184 LP105 mount point?

25.5 boot mounted on the line and the skis feel a bit sluggish. There is another set of toe holes that would put me at +2.0cm. Between the two mounts...

Craziness! Check your FB messenger.

186 LPs with some beauty Z9s.

They ARE great skis!
(Just adding some more pedantry to this Legendary thread).

Daaaaammmn.

Still same as the OG or are they tweaking it?

Noo way. Those are rad! They look legit..

I rescued these from the dumpster last year and I`ve been rocking these all season. 2003 vintage I believe; I forgot how fun they are. Super agile and crush all conditions (except maybe...

OK, so what do I win?

I'm all in favour of 19x anything...but can we be done with twins already?
Buurlapz proved you don't need a twintip to ski backwards.
I think we can all agree skiing behind someone on twins is one...

WWMD: LP105 @ +0.5 or -1.0?

You won't regret going 188

I got some pretty exciting mail today....

Ha, so this popped up today on my FB feed. "Two years ago today".

Haaa. Ya I have problems.
Some new additions were made this summer, will post the ridiculous quiver pic soon.

Thanks LS for starting this soon-to-be Legendary thread.
