Hi folks, gonna be visiting Revelstoke in a few weeks and was hoping to do some touring around Rogers Pass. Been looking at guides but most of them are booked up (understandable as this is kinda last...

Those sure look good. Will get my BCs remounted with ATKs back from the shop sometime next week hopefully. Yeah, I know, I don't mount my own skis––never been a DIY person, and I won't risk fucking...

Also mounted my BCs on the line, following Grinch's recommendation. Really like them there. Been considering getting a pair of HH BCs for inbounds duty, and keep my current UL BCs for touring only. ...

Yeah I was wondering about that too. A little more sidecut than the Hoji, and a weight similar to the 2016 (?) vintage, which I think comes in around 2500 g for the 195 size. Wonder how these will...

To add another data point, my 190 BCs in flex 4 with UL core + veneer are 1815 g/ski. I'm a bigger guy (6'4, 220 lbs), and I ski them inbounds regularly (with shifts). The only time I think about...

Never been on moment skis, but wondering why the DW ends up being better in chop than the WC108? Isn't the WC108 a denser ski than the DW? The 2 skis are the same weight, but the former is narrower....

Are you actually in Texas GBB?

Anyone else with Friday off want to go for a mellow tour at one of the hills within driving distance of Seattle (Crystal/Snoqualmie/Stevens)? Any beta on conditions from people who have gone this...

Baked once, used probably about 20 days; plenty of life left in them.

$30? Prefer pickup in Seattle.

Thinking of taking some Look P18s off my skis and replacing them with a pair of salomon STH2s. Does anyone know if I'm going to get a hole conflict? And yes, I know everyone here thinks that P18s ski...

Are we not going to talk about those crazy veneer protests that are on sale on the website for $595?

I can't be the only one who's seen that? https://www.praxisskis.com/skis/protest-veneer-top/

I'm going to guess I'm mistaken, but I thought the EHP was an earlier iteration of the Hoji––isn't the EHP reverse camber as well? With its camber, I would have assumed that the RX would be more...

Anyone been up to Crystal this weekend? Contemplating going tomorrow, wondering what the conditions are like.

If you ask Keith, I think the general mantra is that if you're looking for a -1 GPO, you should be looking at the BC. But then, I'm scared to deviate from Keith's designs too much for fear of ending...

What did a crystal pass cost before the Alterra acquisition? At this price, and with paid parking/reservations etc, very much feels like the "experience" of Jackson or Big Sky, except that you don't...

$150, located in Seattle.

Very impressive that you managed to do that for so long. And I bet your kids will be forever thankful.

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but the “I had to do it if I wanted to...

Ok, so I’m not actually advocating for one over the other, but I’m having a hard time understanding why everyone here thinks that parking at Crystal should be allocated on a first-come, first-serve...

PM sent.

Has anyone here ever interacted with/gone on any of the courses run by the Washington Alpine Club? Thinking about joining one of their backcountry courses that run over a few weekends through the...

So I have a pair of 2016 hoji in a 195 cm that I love, and which I've used as my inbounds DD for a while now. They're beat up and so I'm thinking about replacing them. If I'm understanding people...

Thanks. And your UL GPO was with or without veneer?

I ski the 190 BC (flex 4) and love it, inbounds and out. Great grip on harder snow too. Given the length of skis in your quiver, I'm guessing that I'm a bit heavier than you (6'4, 210 lbs), and I've...

Thanks for the input; have you also skied the GPO? If so, any comparisons you can make?

Keith responded with the following:

I see the FRS as a more jibby center stance powder ski being that it has a fatter tail and more center stance. The GPO is a forward directional orientated ski...

I've been eyeing the 194 too. Emailed Keith last night to ask him about how they ski and compare to the GPO. Hesitant to go 194 as I feel like they might be a lot to handle with the enduro core +...

Some sexy sticks right there. I mounted my BCs on the line and love them there––not that you asked. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. What bindings are you putting on them?

Lost a single shift binding (along with a ski, but that's another story). I have a single shift binding left which works perfectly, and would like to put it to got use. Anyone holding?

Open to...

Am I the only one who can't see the pic in that post? The description sounds pretty exciting.

I remember Keith telling me that the flex of his skis are consistent across models, in that he uses a machine to measure the flex of his skis. But I agree that the flex profile is going to be...

I have a BC 190 flex #4 with veneer from last year, mounted with shifts, and I love them. I've ended up skiing them inbounds more than out of bounds, and they handle everything super well, at least...

Thanks for the heads up. Just grabbed a chemical pant in L, took a bit of a gamble with sizing. If it doesn't work out I'll post it up on here.

Just to see if anyone has had the same experience. I'm based in Seattle and got an Edge card for the 20/21 season (as I had credit to rollover from the 19/20 season). Obviously didn't get to use any...

Thanks for the heads up. Had never heard of them, but pants look great. Bought 3 pairs for USD 57, including shipping and taxes!

I'll be heading up tomorrow on my own if anyone wants to link up for some turns!

Someone please try this.

How do GPOs do in corn/slush? Thinking about bringing mine out this weekend...

Alright then, seems like I'm the only one having issues. I'm going to give them another good detune and see how they (I) do on the upcoming weekend's slush fest.

Just to clarify, do you...

Jeez, took my eyes off this thread for a couple of days and there's a lot to catch up on all of a sudden.

I see a lot of chat about the BC, and I can weigh in on that ski for those of you that are...

Generally, Keith's advice on this is that lighter, brighter colours come out better with veneer. I don't know if you've seen this thread for graphics:...

Random question, but what ski has Tabke been on for the recent FWT events?

Asking for a friend, what year are your BGs, and how did you find out that your bases were not right on them?

I'll be there too! PM'd you.

Crystal today was awesome, had my best day of skiing of the season so far. Snow was great (I am a sucker for soft chop), and no lines. Rocked up at 11.30 to find B-lot 60% full. Northway skied great,...

I've mentioned this before, but I use my UL BCs flex 4 in the resort a lot. I'm 6'4, 210, hence the bump in flex to 4 as recommended by Keith. Mounted with shifts. Surprisingly capable inbounds ski....

Is Alpental worth a shot tomorrow for leftovers, or is it going to be all packed down after today?

Thanks for the beta Bronco and PlugBoots, will check those places out (I'll be there this coming weekend).

Unrelated, but I'm going to be skiing Crystal tomorrow Monday if anyone wants to link up...

When I asked Keith the question of whether the enduro core flex 4 GPO I was thinking of buying would have a different stiffness to the UL flex 4 BC I already had, he told me that they have a machine...

Looks like the V82s in a 186 are available again on STP. One left in stock. Had my first day on them today, great groomer ski. Heavy, damp, great grip, and snappy going from one edge to the other.

Does anyone have any beta on low angle touring in the Mazama area? My wife and I are going to be staying there next weekend, thinking about doing a bit of touring while we're there. Seems like a lot...
