dB fan boy here. I’ve still got one of the first models and really can’t fault it for international travel (apart from having douchebag emblazoned across it in large letters). My longest skis are 191...

Thread resurrection.
I’ve been in Black Fiamond Factor 110s for a few years now. I want lighter and stiffer and the Scarpa Maestrale RS2 looks like it might do the job and fit my hoof.
How much...

Way too litigious in US for something like the NZ clubbies. Would probably get shut down the first time some dead shits hand ran through a pulley on a nutcracker tow.

I think you just described the NZ Club Fields.

Ditto. A very good ski.

My trouble spot was larger than the foot of the clamp so I used a piece of wood to spread the load. I warmed up the area with a heat gun, applied the clamp, heated up the area again and tightened...

That’s what I ended up doing. Big clamp, a block of wood, and a heat gun.
Black Diamond liners are shit.

As mentioned, 120+ for daily use in Hokkaido, inbounds and out.
I’ve been using Élan Boomerangs at 121 underfoot for last 5 trips.

They did have 13's earlier in the year but had sold out when I was ready to purchase. I grabbed a couple of pair of 10's for cheap. no probs.

At Kiroro there will be lots of Gaijin (foreigners). Aussies, Yanks, Brits, Scandos, etc. as well as Asian visitors ie China, Korea. Some of the workers will have basic English but language...

Last year as opposed to last season.
Checked my photos and 2015/2016 was the shocker for Hakuba. I did 2 weeks in Jan at Niseko; late snow with lots of sasa grass coming through but puking when I...

Plan to get Kiroro early so you can get your ticket and register with ski patrol before the buses arrive.

That's where I was heading with my question.
Although I used to take skinny skis before I knew better, I wouldn't bother nowadays for Hokkaido.
However, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to take some...

First off, cool name Shredly.
Secondly, whereabouts in Japan are you heading?

Just a full stop on this thread.
Enjoyed some great skiing on my new Teton/Kingpin setup. Skiied the NZ clubbies. Dynafit confirmed that they do have metal in the binding area.

Don't suppose you have a pic of your liner mod to share? cheers

They arrived last week. They feel a bit stiffer than I was expecting which is good. Mounted them today and was surprised to discover that they had metal in them. I drilled using my small bit and low...

All good. Excess fat is between my ears.
Apparently the GT's are a bit stiffer than the Stokes with the addition of carbon stringers so I'm hoping they're not to noodly.
Not too worried if I don't...

Thanks for info. eBay have them for$220US at the moment, $270US delivered to Oz so I grabbed a pair. I'm doing an NZ club field trip in a few weeks so I'll be able to try them out but will most...

Thanks Mate. I am thinking of buying a pair. How have yours held up?
I don't do a lot of touring but was thinking of using them as my powder ski for Japan. They are a bit narrow compared to what I'm...

Hi,
Can anybody tell me the actual straight pull length from tip to tail for the 191cm Dynafit Grand Teton please?
Trying to determine if I have a ski bag and skins long enough for a pair.
Cheers

Mine do. Not a lot though, and they flatten out under the weight of the ski+ bindings

Just returning back to Oz after 5th Japan trip on my Boomers. 4 of those trips I was clocking in at 220 and they never let me down in deep Japow. Enough camber to get around between storms. My 1 ski...

Hi,
Am after a pair of 115mm wide brakes to suit Tyrolia Railflex 2 bindings. I live in Australia so you would need to ship internationally.
cheers

Epoxied some Binding Freedom inserts in to my 2012 Boomerangs this morning in readiness for Hokkaido. I know they will be fine in the soft stuff but was wondering how they might go between storms....

Fat Yeti,
What are these skis like between storms?

I just snapped up the last pair of 2012's for use in Hokkaido. I know they will be great out the gates but am wondering how well they will...

1 month til I hit up Broken River and Craigieburn for the first time. Just mounted up my new Ninthward THA's ready for action.

Thanks for thread and templates. took the plunge and mounted my mantras with tyrolia railflex and daughters' maitais with Salomon...

I posted this over at the binding template thread but probably should be here as well.

Hello All, great thread.
After reading/viewing as much info as i could find here and other forums. i finally mounted a couple of pair of skis. First up, I downloaded the salomon template from here...
