Hasn't the ski been unchanged since the 12/13 model year?

Seriously. They make me do stoopid things in the trees because they're so damn quick when I need them to be.

And yet, I can rage a big wide-open face on them too.

Pretty stoked for my 186 BG/186 Wren 112 quiver this year.

I think not.

After tearing my ACL, I had mine in the office for a whole 10 months! If I couldn't ski them - I at least wanted to stare at them. They sure are pretty.

If funds allow - 191 BG next up.

Ha, no. The sticks are in my office. The bedroom is where the magic happens.

That's a nice all-ON3P quiver.
The BGs are still on my to-try list. Have yet to be able to link up an ON3P demo day to get on them. At first glance, it seems like they'd be a really big overlap with my 190 Bibbys.

I asked the same question a few pages back if you want to see what some other folks had to say on the issue of switching from the Bibby to BG, etc. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...and-Lust/page5

Hah, I have way more skis that that. But those two will be my primary inbounds rigs.

I've skied the Bibbys a little bit. Similar skis for sure. The Bibby is a little better on hardpack (traditional sidecut, less pintail). The BG is more manueverable and floats better in soft snow. Despite that though, the Bibby is more center-mounted and feels a bit more playful and jibby to me, whereas the BG feels more chargy and directional (yet still crazy quick when needed). I like the BG better personally, but have friends that prefer the Bibby.

There wouldn't be any overlap as you would 100% sell your Bibbys.

**TahoeJ** · 09-15-2014, 12:00 PM

^^ Yep.

BG's FTW.

Yes, I know. That might be why I haven't tried them yet ...

Moment really did me a solid a year or so go when I tried to explode one of my Bibbys early season. Sending me the same model year ski, brand new, for only $50 shipped. That's pretty tough to beat.
To be fair, Scott & co have provided me with some great deals on demos, as well.

I know, I've seen Scott's office and toured the shop floor. Though this isn't helping me from buying 191 Goats and 112 Steeples for touring...
EDIT: Perhaps it's time for some Grizzly Corn BGs?

**XavierD** · 09-20-2014, 08:54 AM

Anyone else find themselves strangely interested in the Kartel 98?

Thinking:
191 BG
184 Steeple 112 (marker kingpin?)
181 Kartel 98

Complimented by:
186 Bodacious
184 Cham 97 HM

Not that I need another pair of ON3P's, let alone skis in general, but yes, I have been finding myself exceptionally intrigued by the Kartel 98.

**undertow2** · 09-20-2014, 11:24 AM

My quiver is busting at the seams, but I am looking forward to hearing some additional beta on the 189 Steeple 112 and will be the first one to purchase the 191 Kartel 106... So stoked for that one to be run in limited quantities...!

**uglymoney** · 09-20-2014, 05:17 PM

Loving the new lineup! Just pulled the trigger on some old stock due to family budget - 161 Vicik's for my (not so) little ripper 12 year old stepson as his 'pow' board. Dude earned himself the need for a little more float this year!

IDK man, skis don't pull the covers to their side in the middle of the night so you wake up cold and aren't totally frustrating all the time.

**XavierD** · 09-20-2014, 08:13 PM

Yeah, but skis also don't give blow jobs.

Not even the Pillow Fights? Damn.

Edit: Kidding, kidding. Everyone knows that it's the Grizzlycorns that are the slutty ones.

Lil' Ripper right there!

**JD May** · 09-26-2014, 01:33 PM

Steeple 112 (Grizzlycorn of course) are basically the key to my entire quiver re-vamp this year.

ON3P Tychoon Tour - 126 / 96 / 116 @ 186cm - Rossi FKS 140 - 5.8 kg / pair
ON3P Jeffrey - 138 / 108 / 130 @ 186cm - Rossi 180 Pro - 7.3 kg / pair
ON3P Steeple 112 - 139 / 112/ 123 @ 189cm - Marker Tour F12 EPF - 6.2 kg / pair
Black Diamond Drift - 138 / 100 / 123 @ 186cm - Dynafit Radical FT12 - 4.6 kg / pair
Black Diamond Carbon Megawatt - 147 / 120 / 127 @ 188cm - Dynafit Beast 16 - 5.3 kg/ pair

Can't wait to see them... I mean I can, I can't ski yet anyway, but you know what I mean.

Those are beyond sexy and from the shape I a guessing Jeffrey's and second guess would be Kartels... Enjoy... I am still rocking my 191 Wrens, 191 Billygoat and 186 Grizzly Corn Viciks...
