Isn't that the volkl confession that never really took off?

https://blisterreview.com/gear-reviews/2017-2018-volkl-confession

I'm having the same dilemma.

Bought a 24' trailer from my wife's grandma last year and spent over $1000 on storage and insurance and never used it once last year... just didn't line up.

I'd...

Thanks for that.

I've wanted some snowman pants for a while now... trigger pulled on those and a couple extras.

Hard to beat that pricing!

Yeah... I guess you've got full reverse covered in the fat part of your quiver.

^^^ any camber on those or mostly dead flat?

My bad.

I'm not aware of avi conditions so this recommation is in lieu of that, but the dolomite circuit on the ice fields parkway is a gorgeous walk in the mountains.

There's a small shuttle you need to...

^^^ thanks for your feedback on this... appreciate it.

I mounted my blaze +2cm... maybe that somewhat accounts for the wider tip? I actually kind of see that as a benefit in how I ski... but I...

I've never seen or skied the blaze 94 but the 106 is as close to full reverse as you can get without being truly reverse... 1mm or less of camber and only directly under the bindings.

They really...

^^^ huh... I've never seen anything like that on any pair of skis I've owned. They look, even apart from the delam, that they have been smashed into the ground a LOT.

Is she using them as a...

Lol... just buy them already. [emoji2957]

Can someone who has skied both tell me what the difference is between the BMT series and the Blaze series? Because the look and sound and seem to spec pretty damn close except the blaze series seems...

I don't know anything about stockli other than that I would love to try some... but have you considered something from the mantra series?

My wife is an intermediate skier and borrowed my 177...

^^^ no apologies necessary and thanks for your input.

I'm not sure I'm buying this as a source of rust on binding screws.

Wood glue is used on a tonne of stuff that doesn't show rust on the screws when you pull them. Like cabinets for instance.
...

I don't have it handy but there is a thread on here from gregorys, I think.

That's pretty sick... nice one.

Don't know why I'm just noticing this post now but I watched that review video and it's bang on, IMO.

Despite the fact that my intermediate skier wife could handle my k108s when she skied them...

What are "womens" powder skis?

Are they like men's powder skis identically except for the fact that they take 1 hour to put on?

Asking for a friend.

It looks a lot like a wider katana or a beefed up BMT?

I haven't tried them but they look fun.

Totally agree with this.

Yeah I hear you... but that's why I'm surprised at the image.

Or maybe I'm seeing it wrong?

Or maybe plywood isn't all that bad?

I dunno.

^^^ yeah I would guess dust on crust.

Stuff that is truly north facing that didn't get baked is your best bet until the sun comes back out to make some more corn.

I.e. louise will probably be...

Omg... I don't even have a sled and he does?

Jealous.

Is it just me or does that core look a lot like horizontally laminated plywood? I.e. the stuff we made fun of 333 skis for?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong then since I'm in a mach1 boot on katana 108s mounted at +1?

These boots are new to me for this season and have been a game changer for my skiing, but even my other...

I added links to the 4 skis with individual pages I know about in my earlier post, #8.

See above.

I feel like there's a thread for this somewhere...

Can I suggest you post some links to, at least the most recent, review threads for at least the modern volkl offerings?

It's a good reference section to continue the conversation and there's a lot...

If anyone still thinks I'm crazy to suggest the blaze, look at the rocker profile here, then accommodate for a little bit of taper in the tips and the fact that I thought they skied pretty great @...

^^^ they are on blister...

https://blisterreview.com/gear-reviews/rossignol-sickle/3

Un-clamped, there's maybe 1mm of camber and pretty much only under the bindings, the rest is full rocker.

Again, this is the blaze.

I started a thread about the blaze and I covered it in more...

As I said above, the blaze is closer to the sickle in feel but lacks the heft. The camber under foot is almost zero and the rocker profile very gradual. It's very loose. Mine are mounted +2cm, so...

I've heard that sound but only jumping onto firm/icy... and I didn't feel anything weird, just heard it.

But I also highly doubt that aspect of the ski will show up in soft mank like the video...

No I don't think so... but I didn't detune my sickles at all and barely anything to the k108 either.

Some detuning is to be expected buy I shouldn't have to sacrifice my edge just to make a ski do...

Having seen that... katana.

Also need to weigh in AGAINST the mvp recommendations... I had a pair of an early iteration of the mvp and it is definitely NOT a sickle.

I think you and the OP should buy BOTH the blaze and the katana, and actually ski them, and see which one fits best.

Or you can borrow my katanas any time you want... mounted with demos.

They...

Katana 108 and blaze 106 are remarkably similar. The blaze is a little more loose (but not much), while the katana is noticably more beef.

I own both and to replace your sickles for inbounds use...

170 and I would have.

Bump for another price drop to $80 Canadian shipped.

Marshal, I respect your knowledge and experience, and maybe it's because I'm not as good a skier as you... but the multi radius skis from volkl are amazing.

I have never been as hard a charger as...

^^^ thanks!

Can someone... ahem... Banaditman, confirm that the suggestion from the Blister reviews that the tail on the M6 is similar to the K108 in that it is a little softer than the M102?

I was thinking today that I might make a similar justification... but there's always at least 1 point in the day when I let my skis run even if the plan is to take it easy.

6 years ago I...

To the top.

Bump for another small price drop.

^^^ sounds like you made the right decision then. [emoji16]

Is it possible you don't like tight tree skiing because you're usually on a longer ski?

I'm with KC on this.... used to ski long skis but have settled on high 170s to low 180s for the last 6 years...

Bump for another price drop.

Anyone interested in the big boy 191s for $499CDN?

Can facilitate a reship at your cost.
