The Quiver Pic Rerun Thread

[YaBoyBlue]

I'll be curious to hear what you think. I'm also a Cochise lover, but I frequently ski with a kid now and they are BORING on mellower terrain. I picked up some Enforcer Free 104's which I hope can be good enough at kid-skiing and me-skiing, but I have to say I'm not all that psyched on the shape and flex. Hopefully my fondling-based impressions are wrong.

Cochise and MVP are way straighter skis, the enforcer 104 free feels very turny. Can be fun on slower groomers, but a little twitchy/hooky in 3D snow or crud.

MVP could be fun for you if you can deal with the more forward mount.

Last three on right have been retired but I like them so much that I included them (except the Nanuq ... not a fan) Really excited to try the new one in the wrapper though.

Holy shite with some of the other quivers though - makes me feel not so decadent now! (that said I haven't included my race ski quiver )

Oohhh...Dragon Katanas...my white whale....lol.
Interested in selling? (Been searching for big boy Dragons for awhile...)

I'll be curious to hear what you think.

I have a few friends on them, and they love them. I’m not expecting the magic of the Cochise, but from the numbers/hand flexing they will ski pow better, be slightly less stable, slightly less damp, and more turny/playful. We’ll see how all that actually shakes out on snow on Friday. Will report back.

Tits or GTFO.

[jimmiepoison]

nice - getting dialed J!

Somewhat surprised that you keep the Ravens around if you click with w108s to be honest. Ravens were the biggest love/hate story for me last year - started out loving them, but they fell increasingly out of favor the more I used them. They are awesome in fresh, but then again that part of the quiver is not selected for fresh pow ability - but dense snow or lower snow days, conditions they frankly do less than spectacularly in imho (for me and how i ski at least).

(Wren96s 179, Wren96tis 179, BMT90s 177, MVWs179, KVWs177, wood108s 182, wren114 179, ranger102 177, wildcat108s 184, wren108s 179, koala119s 184, wood116s 182, BG184s, C&D184s, BMT90s 163, BMT109s 166, BMT122s 176)

This is where i ended up last year. I have since sold the Ranger102FRs, Wildcat108s and Koala119s (as well as Ravens, Hojis, SGN Toggas, SGN UrRakkars, Praxis EXPs, Wünderstick106/118s, Kartel116s, R10s and R11s + a few more pairs), in spite of really liking the Wildcat108s, Koala119s and R10/11s. I've added a pair of BMT109s in 176 and a another pair of BMT122s, though in 186.

The right most three constitutes the Princess quiver, aka skis my friends/mom/sister etc can borrow when they visit. A pair of MVWs in 170 w/Meidjo 2.1s is about to be mounted and included as well.

Edit: also, I forgot to mention that the quiver will be spread out over two locations, so while somewhat bloated it is not quite as hopeless as it seems.

I have also been considering doing a major purge and/or buying Revolt104/121s and/or M-Free 108/119s - but have yet to decide. Time will tell.

Most Shifts I’ve ever seen in one place! I love my one pair

[kid-kapow]

quite a few tasty quivers as of late - well done mags!

Most Shifts I’ve ever seen in one place! I love my one pair

What can I say, FOMO ain't cheap

Finally added a BC setup after a friend gifted me the Vipec’s (I know, they’re Gen 1, but they were barely used and free)

These Vipecs are sweet, especially if free. I am guessing the front could potentially be modified to get even more sidewise range like the latter versions have (by trimming the bridge), though I do not have one at hand to dismantle and find out if all the other parts are the same - though I would not sweat it, they ski well as is.

The only negative trait of that gen is that the heels sometimes can fill with (enough) snow that the heels won't lock into ski mode, but it is an easy fix (open again / engage walk mode and bang on top the heel, and if it doesn't clear then unscrew the heel, clear it for snow and screw it back on - aka a good idea to mark where the ski mode position is on the rail). I had it happen once, so not a huge issue. I am guessing off setting the rail to the rear can be done as well, to have more of the rail cover the opening in walk mode.

Sweet Mangofied j108s too Did the shorter BGs remain in rotation, or did the missus part of the quiver move in a different direction?

How do you have enough skins for all that....

This is the year to bloat. Long off-season, alot of daydreaming and ecommerce. Love it!

Eh, you can do a lot of sharing if you're not adamant on having the most exact wall to wall coverage. I use three sets of skins over six sets of skis with touring bindings, and probably could get away with two if I wanted to pinch. 34mm range of waist widths.

I do the same. Your skins don't really need to be a perfect fit edge to edge as long as they're in the ballpark.

It is surprisingly easy and relatively cheap


I do have a few other skins, including Völkl skins for the princess part of the quiver, but I spent like 90% of last season touring on the Contour Hybrid sSplit skins. They work really freaking well and are pretty good bang for buck. I've used them on everything from BMT90s ( a bit tight underfoot) to Wunderstick118s. They are not magical for multiple laps, especially in wet snow, but work well for everything else. The main issue with gen one skins - like the pairs I have - is that the glue is not perfection, but then again that is what enabled me to get them at a killer price. Will def recommend.

Left to right:

• 191 ON3P Wrenegade, P14s: Might let these go, have a lot of overlap in this part of the quiver
• 190 Moment Bibby, CAST: Resort DD, some slackcountry use, maybe travel ski if that happens this season
• 187 J Masterblaster, P14s: Resort firm snow ski
• 184 4FRNT Raven, Zeds: Touring DD
• 186 4FRNT Renegade, CAST: Just mounted these. Imagining them as a resort/slackcountry pow ski but might end up touring on them more if I really click.
• 192 DPS Lotus 138: Pow touring. Currently sharing bindings with the Ravens via inserts
• 192 Praxis Protest, Shifts: No such thing as too many pow skis
• 186 Blizzard Bodacious, Wardens: Running over Jerrys

I miss seeing those Renegades in my garage. Glad you'll be giving them the snow they deserve.

Just saw this now... Thanks for the info on the Vipec’s, will keep that snow in heel issue in mind when I get out on them (hoping next week!). Will also report on the Scott Scrapper’s, tho I suspect they’ll ski like skis I’ve had in the past.

The Mango Jeffrey 108’s are gonna be sweet. Asked for them to be dialed very similar to the Caylor’s (which I just love), so they’re very custom. Really can’t wait to ride them, slotted as the new DD’s.

The smaller Billy Goat’s moved on to new homes. I sold my wife’s 179’s last year and my 184’s earlier in the summer. Her quiver didn’t change this year, she’s still on her custom Wrenegade 88’s and Black Crows Atris Birdie’s.

...ever tried cleaning/ reactivating the hybrid glue with the contour cleaning wipes / wX remover? Need to feel really tacky to perform well...
Just curious, the manufacturer. Werner

Nope, I have not, though it sounds like it might be worth a try at some point in time. I will see how they perform when I get to use them again.

The issue has primarily if only intermittently manifested itself on my longer pair when I am doing laps, which I seldomly do (usually it is once and done). The last time I used them was also the time they performed the worst relatively speaking, due to multiple laps. It could have been that I messed something up though, who knows. I have not used them since due to using shorter, narrower sticks with a shorter pair of Contour skins for the ultimate part of the season. I will report back after some more use, but again - so far so good, I am pleased enough with how they perform that I have bought three pairs, I really like them and how versatile they are.

Thanks for chiming in !
