Hey man! Thanks for the thoughts and I look forward to "getting there" and being able to offer a collection more tailored to ladies. I would say, after having skied with women on OG 172cm Volant...

Yeah man, I think suspension is a good terminology too, coming from the MTB use of the term. A few things that stand out to me in the analogy:

(1) Under or over sprung (too soft/stiff) both yield...

Can't wait for you to give em a go! Thanks.

Yessir! Those Ones and Twos were rad skis!

hey man, so yes, since the ski is designed as a matched reverse/sidecut, the ski’s waist is designed as the contact point of the reverse profile. Generally, 26-28 boot soles (center of bell curve in...

The "Kiss of camber" FL113 are going to ski rad, a touch more lively than stock, but still super smooth, chargy, and plenty loose and able to shut down speed when needed.

Hey dude! I am really thinking you are going to love them once you get turns on them. on edge on groomed, I think you will really dig how responsive the skis will be, and give the...

you can come down the "upper upper jacobs trail from picture rock" that links into the turn on secret trail and avoid the now-closed upper jacobs bit. at least in theory.

I can personally...

My buddy Jared did it once. Based on his assessment, I haven't bothered myself, lol

Nice! Regarding the mount, the recommended line puts the center of your boot sole at the skinny point of the ski and at the center of the reverse camber. I do think the majority of skiers will like...

Hey man! So in order to steam line the site, since a large number of models are sold out for the year already, I have been setting the skis as “draft” to unlist them… until the next preseason.
...

Yes exactly! I just set them to “draft” once a certain model is sold out for the season.

the BC110 is slated to be my own daily BC ski this season, fired up on it

If anyone is looking for HL Carbon skis, I just added a couple pair of demos and development skis to the Outlet. Thanks!

Yeah man, I think you are reallyy going to dig these early season ribbon / groomer action. Will be super fun to rip deep carves on!

I stand corrected! Thanks and sorry I got that wrong. But with this in mind @shredeagle, I'd say to go -5.5 then. Full blown video game skiing.

Word! Cheers. The Woodsman is the furthest back, at approx -10. The rest are all -5 to -6 IIRC. I'd say go -6 on the FR110. You could bump it to -5.5 with no stress too.

edit to add, I...

Yessir... might as well get a speculation thread going here soon! Great idea.

Hey man, not super familiar personally with the CT3 but know its got a good cult following. Helpful comparison! Like the nuance you picked up on, as alot goes into making sure the roundness is in a...

I love it man! Can't wait to hear what you think.

Common Snow! Bring it. Haha.

Hey man! Could quick q's... How big/tall are you and what are the other skis are in your stable? I'd say -8.5 is as far back as anyone would want to go, and that is really for large humans used to...

Dude, love it. Can't wait to get mine on snow again. Super excited for them in early season snow, think they will be A+ there with the pronounced tip rocker and surfy ride.

Also, for those not...

Might be worth measuring both of his foot in cm as well to get an appropriate mondo size baseline. I would not be surprised if he ended up fitting the maestrale shell, but ran a different liner to...

Rad! Thanks Norseman.
sale pending! Cheers

Thanks mang! Just texted you back. Cheers!

Ya dude, I’d say 6’ and 190lbs minimum for this one. Probably up to 6’4 and 240 give or take

Hey gents,

yes, the chest zipper is closed/down and open/up

I am 6’2” and 215. I would say it’s a “freeride” fit, ie slightly baggy, and quite similar to a Flylow XL fit.

Sale pending on R99 Comp blems

Bumper Boats

Arcteryx Zeta AR
3-layer Gore-Tex with C-Knit
Legion Blue

Shell has about 30 days on it, very good shape.

I'll be bold and say that this is the best mid-winter touring hardshell ever....

Figured this thread needed a bump! Super fired up to get on my personal pair in a couple months, and thought folks would like to know that now the dust has settled and i've done a couple...

Good question, let me look. I have definitely shipped a number of skis to NO, so no trouble. I’ll pm you in a couple hours once I can pull it.

Yo dude, if you can swing the 175cm, I actually two pair of “comp” build in the outlet section (they have very mild cosmetic blemishes). Coming from X drives, You definitely want the comp build!

Just FWIW, I am planning to mount my HB122 at -7.5

aha! Sorry. On the one hand you have a lighter surfier ski (Hoji) vs a damper ride. But other than a couple 100g and a few meters of turn radius, prolly more similar than different. So I’d only...

Yup, 186 sold out for the season already! I plan to open preorder for next season in mid January. Just fwiw

yeah man, so I would say there was an entire class of skis like these that don't really exist much any more. semi fat everyday modern skis built with performance builds and damp rides. add...

in all fairness, and as much as i'd like to get you on a pair, the 2013-2014 hoji would be quite similar imo. main difference being that the 180 FR110 (180.5 straight tape) would be a tweener legnth...

Dude nice. The FR110 are keeping great company in your quiver.

And nicely picked up on flex pattern. The FR110 is a little more round compared to the cambered skis in the HL colleciton (ie...

It's funny you mention the Seth 118. I have dreams of running the HB122 shape in the FR110 mold and built with the FR110's construction/flex to compliment the HB122 mega rocker surf machines. Would...

!!!
Even more savage than "it's really fun on a hardtail".
Kinda like Big Mtn Trail. Best climb in the Wasatch.

Yo dude! I am just getting my pair dialed in for the coming season too, really enjoyed my turns on them last year. How did you get on with yours? I found mine pretty dang surfy, but nicely...

Well, I have been trying to figure out if I'm too proud to accept charity, haha. Feel free to shoot me a pm. Thanks for the support. Really appreciate it.

I'm an idiot and have a M/L 26L Tour actually. Great pack and 3/4 lighter than the Pro, just not what you are after, lol.

I have a black Pro 25L with <10 days on it I'd sell, please pm me if interested.

You got it! That is the restock listed. The fall shipment is already sold out. Already down to only 5 pair up for grabs as of now in the Holiday allotment.

Yessir; though I might characterize as potentially a touch smoother on rough snow vs a little less pivoty, as I think given stiffness and radius, they will probably carve about the same in round...

Yes, exactly. The first couple pair of this run came out with just a kiss of camber. Honestly I think they will ski rad this way. These outlet pair are a great way to give em a go.

Hey man, just one guys opinion, but I’d say IMO, most people will enjoy going with recommended the most, as it gives the broadest performance bandwidth in my experience.

Going forward will make...

:redface:

ya, oh boy. more coffee. lol
