Ya, it always surprised me that they went with the full fat edge and base and kept the touring core for 50/50, I would have thought they would have done the opposite. A lot of the magic in an on3p is...

Yeah, good point. Not sure I can justify a $700 ski, especially when a used raven can be found for cheap, but bc110 would be sweet

Dang. Sorry to hear that man. Big vibes sending your sons way. 2 of my closest friends both had cancer when they were really young. They got through it and it played a role in the great people they...

What happened? This looks like your whole quiver? Hope everything’s good

Yep, it’s so good. If I’m looking for a touring version of the fr110, would that be the Raven? Leaning that way over the hoji for a little more icy couloir performance and weight savings.

I’ve only spent 1 day after storm on the fr110 and 1 very early pre season on the 112 reck but both of them felt instinctual pretty quick. They both are awesome skis and I’d feel pretty happy on...

Not really answering your question, but if you’re looking for a reverse camber, crud crushing, do it all soft snow ski, the heritage labs fr110 is reeeeeally good

Same. Only reason I’m getting rid of my 186 116s is to size up

I’ve got a 116 kartel, PM if you’re interested

Looks like the core doesn’t have metal but there is a metal mounting plate.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5/32s would probably work but I’d honestly get a 3.6 bit since the mfree doesn’t have metal. Sucks to get a spinner and with a larger bit, you’re just more likely to get one. Otherwise my biggest...

I’m larger at 6’3, 200lbs, but the 186 felt like blades

Can you tell me about the Norrana pants? What’s your height/weight and how do they fit? Do they have vents?

How’s the snow pack doing? Thinking of booking a trip April 20 weekend for some spring skiing/touring. Last I heard, the NW had a rough start but then some big storms came through late season? Odds...

Gotcha. For some reason I thought that was a touring thread. Thanks

Even with a good mount, it was too much time and effort for me personally, but people do it

I tried to do the 1 pair of skis with inserts for an alpine binding and a lightweight pin binding (k2 reckoner with pivots and alpinists). If you do really good job mounting the inserts, it doesnt...

I’m not the expert here so take my advice with a grain of salt. Pivots have a short mounting span (there’s a better word for span but I’m not remembering it now) and I think demo bindings have a...

Thanks for the info. This is going to be a tough call. Jeffs are one of my favorite skis ever but the fr110 is such a good ski, makes me want to try another HL ski. I’m looking for something kinda...

Can anyone compare an on3p jeffery to the HB?

Kinda a thread drift, but this got me wondering, why did the schizo never catch on? Low stack and you could adjust +/- 3 cm if I remember right. Cause marker?

I think prices are good. Just the new baker bibs might be a tough sell

You can find baker bibs new without oil stains for $215 pretty easily. Might need to adjust prices. Glws

What’s your height/weight?

Ah okay, as long as you’ve gone through that exercise, that makes sense. I have some orange fks pivots that were able to be converted, but beyond that, I don’t know a whole lot.

I don’t know a ton about the devastator shape, but if you’re looking for a heavy reverse camber versatile shape, the HL 110 is real good

Convert your pivots to GW pivots

I don’t think so either. With that being said, dw96? :D

I’ve got shifts on dwts, I bought them that way and didn’t have the heart to put a third set of holes in the skis. I’m not sure what the question is but I’m not a fan of shifts while skiing (pre...

Fair point. But the center mount and longest length of 182 is a no go for me. That’s a park ski

This! Skinny (for moment standards), triple camber, bamboo, would be a ski I’d buy in a heartbeat. Been looking for a fun, damp, skinny ski. Dw104 isn’t skinny enough and Frankenski is too park...

I definitely recommend getting in calories post workout, and extra calories on big training days, esp if you’re losing weight. I’m usually a “eat when I’m hungry” person but was never hungry after a...

Looks like the jeff108 has less effective edge than the 118. Does the 118 have significantly more rocker than the 108?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It kinda sounds like you want the fr120. The fr110 to me is a daily driver with a soft snow bias, while the fr120 is a pow ski that’s versatile. You’re talking about Japan and west coast pow days, if...

Yeah pretty stoked on them. Curious to hear what you think going wider, probably what you’d expect. Hard to make the call between the two

Mini review

For those of you mounting your own fucking skis, definitely 4.1 bit and tap. I used a 4.1 bit and no tap. Had to use a drill to get the screws in (which I’ve never done), but I had...

Nope. A footbed will help an ankle bone spur or you’re just saying this is a good idea in general

I can, but they’re the xtd version so not quite as beefy and at 200lbs, I...

I have a bone spur about an inch below and forward of my ankle and it causes a lot of pain, almost unskiable if I ski 2 days in a row. It’s almost directly under the middle buckle (kryptons). I am...

Consider the reckoner. Similar to a Jeffery but lighter, and a softer flex, does better in chop than it should but still very playful. Take a look at the thread, lots of good things have been said. ...

Isnt that the old exit world (not the Bobby version, but the triple camber version)? I think there’s a pair for sale somewhere down in SoCal
