I’m getting tired of using the type of file-guides where you clamp a long file or diamond stone to it. The length of the files makes it impossible not to catch on the toe piece and brake areas.

ON3P’s e-store pate for Wrenegade 96 ti speaks of metal laminates, but the infographic doesn’t show any.

Does the ski have metal laminates in it, or not?

Hi old goat. Did you feel the 177 e93 skied shorter than the 180 Bonafide (I.e. lower swing weight, easier to pivot, smear, etc)?

Actually hoping the answer is the opposite of my OP!

Well, a 2.5 G turn for a 220 pound racer is 550 lbs on one footbed maybe 40 times a race.
