In my experience the Pivot 18 with DIN set to 10 has excellent shock absorbing properties. So does the STH2 16 set at 10.

I think that running a binding with a high max DIN with the actual DIN...

Yeah, yesterday was good.

I'm bringing the Katanas, never a bad call in my experience. I stayed up until midnight last night filling holes in the bases, sharpening the edges and waxing. Probably should have saved some time...

I'm visiting Big Sky for the first time next weekend (March 31 - April 3). Should I bring my Monster 98 groomer and bumps skis or my vintage metal Katanas 112 waist full rocker crud and chopped pow...

The current best is the same as the old best. Look Pivot 18. (Pivot 15 is just as good if you need to run a DIN lower than 8)

I currently ski Head Monster 98's in 184cm length for my Colorado daily drivers. Has anyone here skied both the Monsters and the Commander 98's?

They're designed around the original Radical toe. If the superlites use the same mount pattern they'll probably work. I don't have much faith that the Rotations would work, the rotations have extra...

I'm in for one, size L if they run long and tall like the base layers.

The card test is for STHs only, it's more of a gap test than a friction test and STHs have toe height adjustment to dial in the gap. For pivots just do a bench return to center test, if you can get...

I have a Large Tall in the smurf blue series, how does that compare to the new sizing? I'm 6'5" 190# and the large tall actually fits me, unlike most shirts in the universe.

I use Gaia GPS, I like it fine but it's a $20/ year subscription app so I suspect that will scare off the maggots.

I seriously doubt that they're adding a third buckle to the production model. Those look like an athlete's boots that have gotten some custom treatment.

You forgot the beer steps. That helps with the overthink problems you're having.

Would you sell the skis flat? I'm interested in a pair of Kore 105s for Colorado mid-winter touring sticks, but I want to mount with G3 Ions for that purpose.

I have a soft spot in my heart for this ski. My first ever fat skis were this generation Katana in a 183cm length. The 183's were on the short side for me but they were a tent sale deal and these...

From talking to the folks at the demo tent and watching videos of Sam and Johnny that show lengths on the topsheet, I think they both ski the 186. They're not that tall or heavy though so it makes...

I mounted my 2015 193s at +1cm because I figured they were a lot of ski and the forward mount would make them ski a little shorter.

If I did it again I'd mount them on the line or -1cm because I...

I would think forward +1 for a smaller boot, not back... Different folks have different theories about mount locations, but my theory is that the position of the ball of your foot on the ski is more...

I had the same question before I mounted my Bibby Pros. I'm a traditional skier, 6'5" 195lb and on the line feels good.

Someone save me from myself and buy this last pair:...

They didn't have any 192s at the demo tent. Maybe sizing up on the 3.0 would help. I could definitely ski the 186 4.0 in technical steeps and tight trees and be happy, that's what I did on it most of...

I demoed the Dictator 4.0 and 3.0 at Arapahoe Basin today, both in the 186cm length. Spent three hours on the 4.0 all over the mountain and generally enjoyed it. I hiked the east wall with them and...

I don't get the stolen vibe from that ad. That's a fair price for a 2009 183cm (made in China). The 2012 191cm or 198cm (made in Germany, athlete flex) are the expensive ones.

My first pair were...
