The Quiver Pic Rerun Thread
Sorry this pic sucks. Me - EC / travel skier, 5’7’’ 195ish, whites and greens
Few frame bindings to be found, whoops
179 Ramp Woodpecker, EC rock ski, really rough condition 2/10
181 4FRNT Switchblade, EC jib rock ski, horrible condition 1/10 I ruined the bases
184 Praxis Piste Jib, maple? Veneer, #3 enduro. EC daily driver, super fun ski, light, doesn’t flex all that stiff but feels damp and torsionally stiff.
185 Parlor Cardinal 100- someone else’s custom job that got returned to their factory. Full camber, stiff overall flex, end tail of a 2x4. Pretty great on firm/groomers, outstanding for 100 under foot. Amazing slush groomer / slush post-tracked ski- awesome edge hold, power and rebound. Not the dampest (no metal) but damp enough for me. I am going to experiment with de-tuning the tips (keep forgetting?) for more off piste use, right now they are a handful in untracked. Too bad I don’t have one of their other offered camber profiles- subtle flat/reverse camber or tip rocker- I think it would have 95% of its performance on piste and gain a lot off piste via being looser, but presumably just as powerful.
188 Praxis custom -10 Quixote, #4 flex heavy core from Aevergeuse. I have a weird, love/not love relationship with this ski- PM me for the deetz. May be traded for my old 184 Devs, + back
193 Praxis MVP stock layup, #4 flex, I think maple ash core. Rocker / taper sections detuned, kind of a slashy feel. Limited use, only handful of days so far. Super fun ski, what I would grab to ski most places out west as a daily. Impressive on firm. Bought ‘em here and beat on them since but they’re holding up super well, 7.5/10 condition.
194 4frnt Devastator - crud / wetter snow / big mountain slush, still fun. Still kinda playful and not all that demanding. Can be skied more loosely from center or driven from the shovels- sometimes mid turn and back again, it’s such a coherent design. Quite impressive on firm, predictable. Heavy as hell, Mojo 15s were a questionable choice.
186 4frnt EHPs, EC / tight conditions / lazy pow, getting really floppy, bad condition 2.5/10
193 4Frnt EHP - big mountain ski? Cheap, fast, fun. Chop thrasher destroyers
196 4frnt Renegades- powder when I want to ski fast.
Old 185 Praxis POWs - just picked these up here this summer. old, pretty beat up bases 5/10, maybe I should get them tuned, who cares. graphics totally faded but the rest of the ski is in remarkable 8.5/10 condition once the edges get a little work done. These will be great on the fairly numerous pow days we get on top of zero base. First reverse / reverse.Last edited by Self Jupiter; 07-16-2018 at 08:16 PM.

SJ,
I forget if I already asked you this, but have you skied the 184 or 191 Metal Katanas?

The Quiver Pic Rerun Thread
I recall I skied a set of OG, possibly first-gen Katanas in 2008-2009ish. Something like this:
https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/volkl-katana-2008
Not useful, I know. If I did own a last gen w/ metal katana, it would be a 191 and mounted somewhere around +4 from recommended and I’d probably love it.Last edited by Self Jupiter; 07-17-2018 at 07:02 PM.

…Rumor grew of a shadow in the West, whispers of a nameless fear, and The Arsenal of Power perceived. Its time had now come…

OK, OK. Enough summer hype. I just pressed Repeat on Yearbook, and am writing up the post now. Might take a couple hours, but it will drop today.

…And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth…One by one, the Jong hordes and free Maggots of TGR fell to the power of The Arsenal…But there were some who resisted…
Never look directly at The Arsenal with the naked eye.
Alas, many cameras melted to bring us these photographs.
Behold The Arsenal.
This satellite photo captures every ski of The Arsenal in one shot.
Some 120-ish Waist Surfers:

9. Atomic Bent Chetler 192cm 2013, 916 (These rule.)
10. Salomon Rocker2 122 192cm 2012, S900 DIN=16 (At 2612g, these are more solid than I expected in a wider variety of situations than I anticipated.)
11. Blizzard Spur 189cm 2015, S900 DIN=16
12. Black Diamond Megawatt 188cm 2009, Heels= 957 DIN=14, Toes= PLASTIC 997 DIN=14

Some Narrow Chargers:

32. Stockli Stormrider DP Pro 193cm 2008, 977 DIN=14 (PLASTIC toes). (At only 2148g, this ski is more of a very nice carver than a charger.)
33. Head M103 193cm 2005, 2738g!, Heels= 997 DIN=14, Toes= 957 DIN=20
34. Dynastar Legend Pro 194cm 2006, Heels= 997 DIN=14, Toes= 957 DIN=17 (I should remount the toes from -11cm to -12cm.)
35. Head M103 183cm 2004, S900 DIN=16
36. Blizzard Argos 187cm 2011, 2665g!, 997 DIN=17 (on swappable slider plate)
Some UberFat Surfers:
L to R: Sorted by decreasing measured TrueLength
37. Praxis Protest 196cm 2013, S900 DIN=20 (There's something special about this shape. I'm looking to trade for a heavier layup version.)
38. Volkl Kuro (metal version) 195cm 2013, 3065g!, 916 ZZlab. (The performance seems pretty special.)
39. Salomon Rocker 192cm 2008, 2984g! R=48.5m!, 997 DIN=14 (PLASTIC toes)
40. Liberty Mutant 192cm 2012, 149mm underfoot, 916
41. K2 Darkside 188cm 2013, 916 ZZlab
42. K2 Pon2oon 189cm 2012-14, 920 ZZlab
43. Armada Magic J 190cm 2015, 997 DIN=20. (The sweet performance is noteworthy, other than occasional skippy edges while intentionally skidding on ice---but that doesn't really count as a flaw. -2.8cm from TC works, but I can tell I would prefer -3.3cm.)
44. Nordica Radict 185cm 2012, 2790g!, S900 DIN=16
45. Volkl Chopstick 185cm 2009, 997 DIN=14 (PLASTIC toes)
Some UberFat Chargers:
L to R: Sorted by decreasing measured TrueLength
46. Blizzard Bodacious 196cm 2013, 2750g!, S900 DIN=16
47. Blizzard Zeus 194cm 2011, 3076g!, 997 DIN=17 (on swappable slider plate) (If you're not careful, the stiff tips can stab into soft bumps.)
48. Atomic Atlas 192cm 2012, 957 DIN=17 (Disliked these at -13.2cm, now like them a lot at -10.9cm)
49. Atomic Thug 192cm 2008, Heels= 916, Toes= 916 & S900 DIN=20
50. Head Boneshaker 191cm 2013, S900 DIN=16 (Only a half-day skiing these so far. Tuco's and mr_pretzel's praises have me excited to get more time on them)
51. Bluehouse Shoots 191cm 2009, 2900g!, s900 DIN=16 (My super-stiff early-season workout ski, among other roles. Must pre-hop abrupt concave trannies, and downright dangerous in the park)
52. Blizzard Zeus 185cm 2011, 2893g!, 997 DIN=17 (on swappable slider plate)
Some 115-ish Waist RockerTails:
L to R: Sorted by decreasing measured TrueLength
53. Nordica Helldorado 193cm 2013, 2741g!, FKS ZR DIN=17 (Whenever you want edgelock, these deliver better than you might expect)
54. Blizzard Gunsmoke 193cm 2014, 916
55. K2 ObSETHed 189cm 2012, S900 DIN=20
More Fun Skis:

60. Rossignol RC112 188cm 2010, Jester Demos
61. Prior Overlord 193cm 2010 or 2011?, S900 DIN=16
62. Kastle MX108 195cm 2009, now unmounted (This pair is beat-up.)
63. K2 ObSETHed 189cm (2nd pair) 2011, Jester Demos
64. Blizzard Gunsmoke 193cm (2nd pair) 2014, Jester Demos

70. Elan Boomerang 190cm 2012, will mount Salomon metal.
71. Salomon Rocker 192cm (2nd pair) 2009, R=48.5m!, 2984g! Undecided whether to mount Demos or just sell.
Still More Fun Skis:
L to R:
- 1967 Chevrolet Impala (Not mine. My friend stores it in my garage, and I think maybe he's only 1 exterior paint job away from completing the restoration.)

77. Movement Trust 194cm 2012, will mount plastic toe Salomons for rock ski. (Blown edge needs repair)
78. Stockli Stormrider 110 TT 192cm 2012 or 2013?, will likely mount plastic toe Salomons.
79. Kneissl Flexon Tanker 190cm 2003-2005, will mount plastic toe Salomons.
80. Nordica W9.1FF 190cm 2001, will likely mount plastic toe Salomons.

83. Scott Santiago Pure (Peak Performance Edition) 188cm 2006, Tyrolia Demos
84. Kastle MX108 187cm 2010, S900 DIN=14 (PLASTIC toes). (Beat to hell. The screws will rip out soon. Too risky to lend out.)
85. Rossignol SC108 195cm 2009, Heels= 957 DIN=14, Toes= PLASTIC S914
86. Faction Thirteen 194cm 2010, R=46m!, 977 DIN=14 (PLASTIC toes). (The bases seem slow. I heard this model used extruded base material.)
87. Rossignol Axiom 183cm 1994-98 (painted black by previous owner), R=44.3m, I liked them with off-center ancient Salomon Demos, but will mount plastic toe Salomons on center line for rock ski. (Blown edge needs repair)
