^ Man those Asteroids haul the mail. Skied the crap out of mine.

Exploded my old pair of DP pro +s, those skis made me a man.

198 katanas, whoa

198 katanas, whoa

They're too big for me.

I'm about 40 pounds shy of the 220 needed to drive these all day with authority. I can stand on them, but can't load them well unless doing 40 mph. Doable but too much work. Plus one ski is bent a little.

189 Billy Goats - the pow sticks
186 Kartels (@ -2cm) - everyday resort
188 Rustlers - a wider everyday resort ski / travel ski which kicks ass in most conditions.
192 Cochise - Heavy, mean, fun later in the season when my ski legs are kicking if no one is out there and you can let them run.
184 Legend 105 - early season getting my legs back under me.
184 Wildcat Tour - New addition, touring soft snow and travel?
178 Zero G - most of my touring.

Lange RS 130, XT Freetour 130, Tecnica ZeroG Pro Tour.

Want to add a 106-110 lighter touring Ski, short list is Helio/Route 105, Wailer 106 T1, ZeroG 108, or Atomic Backland 107.
Rustlers will likely get Shifts, P18s to Kartels or something else likely without metal. STH to sell.
192 Cochise likely for sale, bindings to something else 186cm long and 108mm wide, with metal.

Might add a 192 Rustler 11 with P18s for everyday resort use if Shifts land on the 188s and don't have quite the feel of pivots

Not Shown: K2 Recon Boots, Tecnica Cochise, Legend Proto, Various Tacoma ON3P skis. Also found a pair of unmounted 190 Volkl Gotamas from the early 2000s I’m trying to get a hold of. I’ll put together another picture when we get closer to ski season and everything is more or less in the same place.

Nice. Why a second rustler 11, is it that good?
And what model are the blue Lange boots on the left?

[Banh Mi]

Im curious to how you like the Kartels at -2??

and Rustlers, how they compare to the Kartels, and gunsmokes? I think you have touched on the differences between gunsmokes and rustlers before.

How much of a difference is there between RS and the XT? Could you daily the XT?

I’m going to preference this by saying I have really narrow feet and don’t like foam liners. I prefer a very snug fit with my boots.


With the stock liners, the difference is huge between the RS and XTs. I couldn’t ski the XTs with the stock liners. I upgraded to the Intuition Pro Tour high volume in the XT Freetour and the boots were 100% better. My bias against foam liners diminished with this set up, but I think it was due to the extra thick foam. They were lighter and the lateral support allowed me to have better edge control with skis >105mm wide. I then tried the cork RS 140 liner in the XT Freetour and the boot was perfect. It skied slightly softer then the RS140, fore and aft, but they still ramped up and I didn’t feel like the boot collapsed on me. Laterally they were perfectly fine. I did gain some weight, but the performance increase was worth it.

I’m going to try to daily the XT Free this winter with an intuition liner or cork liner. I think it’s almost perfect.

This deserves it’s own thread, GREAT info, thanks! Love to hear how this works out

Will do! I’m hoping to get a pair of the XT Free Pro 140s for inbounds/sidecountry access this year. I’ll post my findings.

I should add in that I also switched the stock Velcro power strap for the stiffest Booster Strap that that helped. I guess I should start a tech talk on the boots

[kid-kapow]

Norseman: that is quite the culling

186 Kartels (@ -2cm) - everyday resort

Nice quiver! I nearly got a pair of rustlers at the end of last season, but resisted What is the graphic i spy on those sweet kartels?

[XavierD]

Im curious to how you like the Kartels at -2??

I demo'd them there and at rec. Liked em better at -2cm. Able to really drive the ski, but still quicker and better carving than Wrenegades.

How much of a difference is there between RS and the XT? Could you daily the XT?

I could easily daily ski the XT, and will take it if I plan on hiking at all due to weight. If I could only own one or two boots this would be in the lineup for resort days. Fortunately for me, I'm not so restricted. The RS 130 (dual core) is the best non-plug boot I have skied. It fucking rips.

What is the graphic i spy on those sweet kartels?

One their creative guy did. I'm pretty sure there are only two pairs with the graphic. He has one on another ski, and I have one.

[N1CK.]

^^^ those are sick

[Adrgha]

Holy shit that looks incredible!

[eskido]

Sweet, thanks!
...and yeah, that top sheet is F N rad!

[kid-kapow]

sweet baby jeebus!

I really like that style of graphic - kinda like old school biblical/gothic/elemental/goodvsevil/whatever. Something like that just with the usual w&k108 widths reds would be absolutely fantastic imo. Granted - last years k108s with clear vinyl tops also look amazing on snow.

i have also debated going a bit back with the bindings on kartels, but since Iggy is awesome and i am not (and do not have demo bindings) i will probably just mount on the line trusting that he knows best

Current herd before the culling.

I might want those 198 Katanas, how much $?

[Norseman]

Yep, correct, Richie's.

Skibrd has tentative dibs on the Katanas, pending photos etc. I will try again to make ads... been held up by work overtime and sick kiddo.

[auvgeek]

Sick quiver, XavierD and Norseman.

Definitely seeing a great trend away from the gigantic, 10-15+ quivers of yore and more towards a reasonable 4-8 ski (touring + inbounds) quiver where each ski has a well-defined purpose. [Vitamin I's black hole of amazingness gets a total exemption here. My god.]

Added these big stix after finding them at a consignment shop listed for $189

[TahoeJ]

I have the exact same Noctas (although I'm ditching the 185's and have some new 190's coming in the mail). I'm curious, given that context, how do you like those Atris?
