I got on the HB demos after you guys and agree with all the fresh snow comments. I went on Thursday and most of the powder at Snowbird was skied off but I still found some nice deep stashes from the...

Great to hear. I’m thinking about upgrading to this exact pairing from Hawx Ultras and K2 Mindbender 108s.

One more note: in year zero of just trying to get 2-4 year olds on the mountain for limited bursts you can’t beat ski blades and no poles. So easy to walk back up the bunny hill and pick your kid up...

Bent 100s are good for this. Super light so checks some of ey_allen’s boxes. Pretty playful and poppy but also decent in powder and you can lean into the shovels if you want. They have a speed limit...

I’ve got the 181 FastForward and like them a lot as an east coast ski that’s pretty loose and maneuverable but also has great suspension. 5’11” and 185 lbs. My prior firm snow ski was the 194...

Props to Marshall for encouraging the negative feedback. These kinds of reviews help us all dial in on what might work or not for us. Also hope you can keep feeding DTM skis - I’m not quite as good...

Anyone have a picture of the new Black Ops 118? Saw above that it looks more like the 110 but haven’t seen it in anywhere yet.

I haven’t but will keep on the radar. Probably not buying new boots this year anyway for budget reasons but will add that to the list to try when I’m ready. Currently on Hawx Ultras from a few years...

Seconded. I’ve got LV feet and I alternate between buckles off with sloppy skiing and buckles tight with my feet cramping up or going numb. Excited to try BOA but waiting for some heavy LV styles.

I should have clarified at the top that I was specifically interested in feedback on BOA alpine ski boots. From what I understand it is a significantly different mechanism than what has been used...

One season into the great BOA boot takeover, I’m curious how they held up in the real world. Anyone buy BOA boots and have 10+ days on them to report (positive or negative)? Any notable repair...

Is anyone working on an LV race style boot with BOA? Something like Redster CS, Head Raptor, etc. Fischer seems closest now with their MV boot.

Maybe split the difference and try the Sender Free 110?

Separate advice/question: what, specifically, do you want to do in the park? I ask because some park skis are better for big jumps (I think...

DanTheMan has the right idea. Nice work.

That review covers it pretty well. I’m also in the camp that got rid of mine after last season and regret it. My complaints were that they were too long/annoying in tight spaces and for a big wide...

Oof that sucks yeah

Sounds like a cool plan kk. Interested to hear how you get on with both next season. You mentioned ON3P and I’ve seen you on that thread before. Did you consider J102/J110/J118 (pick two)?

Thanks, Marshal. As others have said they all sound awesome. I’ll see how I get on with the FR110 and go from there but as usual I feel the answer is going to be n+1…

Only point of clarification...

The firm snow comments have me a little nervous as I really value suspension back to the lift on packed out groomers when my legs are gassed after bashing steeps. Can you give a few more comparisons...

Update: Skied the Revolt 95s at Snowbasin’s closing day yesterday. Fun ski overall. Enough backbone and weight to plow through thick snow and mixed conditions. Can lean on the shovels a bit even at...

Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole. Not a ton there on the technique but what a fun read. Watch out for Unstable Hookers....

Heck yeah! Can’t wait to get my pair.

One question as I look at the FL105 vs the FL113’s is how did you think about tip and tail height and rocker profile? Not that the difference is huge but I would think the 113 would have more splay...

Oh man, what a nightmare. FedEx just keeps f’ing up more. Sorry you have to deal with this and glad you’ve got a bunch of other exciting skis in the mix on a different production line.

+1 on this. I’m still trying to figure out what the R120 comp is and why I need it.

Sweet! Counting down to December for my FR110s

Agreed, anyone get on these yet? I’ve got to be honest I’m not sure exactly what these are for - powder? Chop? Obviously going very fast through whatever but how do you compare/decide between the...

Also here is a repost of Marshal’s rocker pics, hopefully this works.

FL113 / FR110 / FL105

I got my order in for the FR110 too. Waffled back and forth between that and the FL105 for a long time but it feels like the 110 is going to be a really special ski that I don’t want to miss. Should...

With this in mind, I pulled the trigger this morning on a pair of Revolt 95’s plus demo bindings for about $400 USD from Corbett’s. Just bought my first park skis at 41 and am going to try a 360 in a...

Bent Chetler 100 is pretty good for that kind of use. Light and easy to flick around, good pop and energy out of turns, more backbone and suspension than you would expect for something so light and...

Marshall - Not to derail too much off the comp build but the write up between FL105 and FR110 is really helpful. Maybe a new thread is needed for those models. Any difference in suspension in rough,...

Thanks. Hawx Ultra is ok but always feel like my heel/ankle area is a bit loose. If I crank down the buckles then foot goes numb or cramps up. So I spend most of the day either too tight or too loose...

I have a longer second toe than big toe (i.e. Morton’s toe) and I’m in early stages of thinking about new boots. One question is if I go to a store and try shell fits should I be checking heel...

Any more reviews of the R120?

eSock - Glad you are getting on the FR110’s. Good write up. Any issues with fore/aft balance, wheelie landings, rocking horse effect, etc.? Really tempted by these but a little nervous about the...

Can you compare maneuverability in tight terrain and funky moguls on the FL113 vs the squad? Obviously both big skis but the squad is pretty maneuverable and forgiving for its size. I’m thinking...

Helpful feedback, thanks. Out of curiousity what models/lengths are your 4 pairs of J’s?

Sounds awesome!

AEV - Did you ever get on the Friend and/or BO?

rfconroy - Can you give more beta on comparison between the two?

I’m considering the 189 Friend as a pow/chop charger for technical steeps,...

I think you have that backwards. From Moment’s website FAQ:
What is the edge bevel on your skis?
We ship all of our skis with a 1-degree base edge and 1.5-degree side
edge bevel and ceramic...

That’s all I needed to hear. 189 it is for me. Now just waiting for fresh graphics next season.

@Fishskisurf - What size are you on and what is your height/weight?

@Jim S - Do you wish you had gone longer?

I’m trying to decide between 183 & 189 Hotshot at 5’11” and 185. I’m coming off of...

Looks like Casper Bowl and Headwall were opened for the season today. Anybody get up there?

I also know nothing about tele but “lively” and “quick” are not how I would describe the SS. More like stable and quiet.

As others have said they are surprisingly maneuverable for their length,...

Damn these look cool

I just bought Wildcat 108s in the spring so really can’t justify these but man I want them.

Seriously. I want that Sierra in a 190. Half tempted to buy the 179 to dork around with the kids and do stupid shit in the park.

Here’s my current quiver although the two on the right are hitting gear swap. Probably won’t have time to post details for a few days but DM me if interested. I see you looking, Mustonen…

Starting...

Oh weird. Bummer. Was hoping they were being brought back.

I guess nobody else noticed these over on skitalk? Looking forward to learning more.
