Go for the mellow reverse camber shape or the new camber w slight tip rocker, full camber skis pretty locked in.
    Hey thanks I will check them out. I definitely don't want reverse camber, but I will look them over.

    They’re basically flat with super subtle early rise tips and tails. Long shot for sure to find at deal pricing but worth a demo if they come to your local hill. They seem to usually have returns, particularly in the stiffer layups

    I want something carvey, so I can learn to get my hip down to the ground on corduroy.

    What's your BSL and preferred length? I now have spare carving skis.

    315mm

    184-188 true length, full camber, 18m radius.

    I have some shreditor 92s and monster 98s that I have to try before I make any new purchases.

    The Monster 98 is perfect for what you want to do. They carve like a dream.

    My 108s carve ice like nothing I have ever been on. I cant even imagine how good the 98s are on firm.

    I think it’s a variation on the LP105, or maybe it IS the LP105??

    Paging Leavenworth!
    It's an lp105 with a rainbow topsheet.

The Enforcer's were definitely fun and were to be able to hold their own, but just didn't compare to how much better the Wren's handled the same terrain.

    By the way, glad to see my BG Veneer Tours getting around...!

    Wrens are a little more damp/stable, while being just as “fun”??

    More fun.

    Despite the Enforcer's much tighter radius at 18.5m in the 185 compared to the 189 Wren 98's radius of 24.8m, the Wren felt livelier and yes, more damp/stable. The Wren definitely has more tip and tail rocker than the Enforcer, which only added to the "fun" listed in the last statement.

    They just plain outperformed the Enforcers in every manner, in my heavily ON3P biased opinion.

    Have a few more on the way but here's where things are at. Hiding in the background are the 202 Lotus 138 pures.

    That's certainly one way to put it, I'd describe it more as a dysfunction. Not one single Praxis or ON3P, gasp!

    May as well bump up to the 202 138. Neil has a set of 200cm Lotus 120 Pures, the 138 interests me more as a pure powder shape.

    That’s pretty much where I am at. 202 138 or nothing..

    138 will overlap less with C&Ds. Now I just gotta find a pair.

    Do DPS measure short, or true to size? Are there different variations in the 138 core, like hybrid or pure or whatever? Any different flex patterns?

    I dunno, they look longer than my 192 Big Dumps.

    Flex/Construction, etc, yes, search jong. They made a few different batches of them. Mine are pures. I would suggest the same, more differentiation from your C&Ds. To me this is a perfect pow tool for the once every 3-5 year type days where it's waist deep, so I'm not concerned about chop and slop performance.
