Hardboiled,

I ski the 184 K108 with the Lange XT130's. No issues. Great set up for me. The K108 is less demanding than you would think... Still charges...

I think that will be my perfect 2 ski quiver.. The Revolt 121 and the K108.. The issue is finding a revolt right now... There isn't many around.

Glad to hear you like the K108. Such a great ski...

I say pull the trigger... I'm sure you wont regret it... And let me know what you think once you have some time on snow. I'm sure it'll be next season but keep me posted.

Cheers

Shorty_J,

Another option for you regarding mounting point, would be to find an old Marker Schizo binding. This would give you the ability to adjust your binding position up-to 3cm fore/aft. Giving...

Check with Troy at The Quest in Fernie. He was selling his Demo's at the end of the season and I'm pretty sure he had a pair of 177 left.

I have about 50 days on my K108 and can honestly say that I NEVER find them hooky in any conditions. Perhaps this comes down to ski style? But for me, the K108 is the most stable ski I have ever...

Fernie is down to 2 COVID cases

https://tourismfernie.com/news/coronavirus-covid-19

Fernie was opposite this weekend. It was a ghost town both on and off the ski hill.

Our local ski shop (The Quest) didn't even carry the 102 this year. The owner didn't think that it would sell with the K108 on the shelf. He figured that most of the Fernie crowd would opt for the...

I have totally simplified my quiver, now that I have the K108.

Over the holidays, I skied 19 days in a row. I was using the K108 everyday, except one. Conditions were brutal, so I took my M5 out...

Totally agree. The focus needs to change to behaviour. This virus is going to be with us for a long time.

I looked at the Ovulation Calculator, as it relates to my hometown and you are correct... The calculator is BUNK. My hometown numbers are published and the ovulation calculator is INCORRECT... Thanks...

Fair enough. I just hope that the ski season isn't cancelled by the professionals out of an over abundance of caution. Not just for selfish reasons... But my real fear is for the livelihoods of all...

It shows current Covid cases in towns. I added it to my post, as it shows no active cases in Fernie. I checked and the same goes for Golden and Invermere.

I agree. The cases in BC are largely in the Metro Vancouver Health Region and the Fraser Valley Health Region. It seems unfair to restrict the entire province based on 2 health regions in the far...

Here's an interesting story from Global News.

https://globalnews.ca/news/7473709/ski-industry-economy-tourism-bc-travel-restrictions-covid-19/

BC's Premier John Horgan said yesterday that he wants to shut down provincial borders. I wonder how ski hills that rely heavily on Alberta skiers will survive?

Fernie's local population is about...

Smooth Operator... They still have the Katana V-Werks. It remains unchanged this year.. Still 112 and full rocker... But I own both and the new 108 is better in almost every way... Except weight. The...

I don't have a blister account.. But I just found this posted by Powder 7.Best Skis of 2021: Big-Mountain https://youtu.be/2txJaBQxX2k

They talk about the Katana at 2:50 in the...

I'm not in CO but similar terrain. I ski out of Fernie BC. My perfect quiver would be the new 2021 Volkl Katana 108 for daily driver. A V-Werks Katana for back country skiing and a Revolt 121 for Pow...

Check Blister. They reviewed the M102 and the Mindbender 99Ti.

Fair enough... You should see K108 demos in March.

VOLKL IS KILLING IT!!!! Way better to ski than it would appear from looking at the shape. So stoked about the Volkl line up this year. All other manufacturers have some catching up to do.

Singlecross,

Please let me know which ski you end up on more. I would bet the M102 but would be interested to see what you end up skiing.

Chaka,

I would try the K108 before you buy the M102. Not that the M102 isn't an awesome ski but I think it is worth trying the K108 before pulling the trigger.

Stuntmanbo,

It obviously isn't as light as the V-Werks ski... But it definitely isn't as heavy as the old 2014 Katana. In saying that, I think that it is more stable and well-mannered than the...

We will have to agree to disagree. I own this ski and it is neither soft to flex or loud to ski. Of course, I would be putting the sound against my current quiver. 184 Mantra M5, 184 V-Werks Katana,...

If you're speaking about a ski with three radius, then yes. If not flexed, then you can't engage the big radius of the tail and shovel... Or so I understand the technology. Of course I could be...

Not sure we skied the same ski, as my experience was totally different. This ski is a beast! I can lay down GS turns in anything. I know have 7 days on the 184 K108 and have had it in everything from...

Looks like the Volkl Katana K108 is going to have a limited early launch in March. I was lucky enough to get a pair already. I have put 5 days on the Katanas already at Fernie. I have skied them in...
