Yep, slight tweaks based on updating the sidecuts and making things flow better along the entire edge/length of the skis (all updated).

Strong work on the graphics. Oddly enough the Wren 88 sticks out to fill a hole in my quiver.

It is a REAL Wren, too...strong, stiff, and fast.

bravo

need to get back into some billy goats and my 5 year old has to be ready for some Charlie Murphys by next season

**TAFKALVS** · 01-26-2016, 04:43 PM

Wren 88 and Steeple 98 are both on my radar.

**unpossible** · 01-26-2016, 04:43 PM

Oh man, I think I may need to buy my 4th pair of Wren's (189 108's).

A little bummed on the Kartel width changes, I need a replacement for my 102 Jmo's that I have beat the living shit out of (100+ days and counting), and 108 just seems a little wider than I want for this spot in the quiver. I tried out the Kartel 106's last April at Bachelor and loved them, I think I may have to pick a pair up (tried the 186's, still curious about the 191's though); though they seem backordered. :/

Are you saying the 102 Wren is not a real Wren!? :P

**Trapp** · 01-26-2016, 04:46 PM

Steeple 98 looks just like a Tychoon.

**TahoeJ** · 01-26-2016, 05:01 PM

From a marketing perspective I think you guys did a great job - really stream-lined your offerings.

Most of the time I've skied with David Stee(p)le he's been on the Tychoon... coincidence?

There are some big differences in taper, flex, and sidecut (type). But yes, it isn't totally out of the wheel house.

Gracias. That was a big thing for us this year but also let us create better skis in the process. Win Win in our eyes.

...............maybe. It is a great ski for what it is made for, though.

To be honest the difference between the Kartel 98 and one that was 102 underfoot (I know JMO, but just comparing) is really not noticeable at all on your feet when hitting the snow. But I do understand the brain telling us otherwise, too.

**sierraskier** · 01-26-2016, 07:08 PM

I'm curious when those new C&D's might be available.

**the_flying_v** · 01-26-2016, 08:59 PM

Looking good boys. Super stoked for y'all.

**robnow** · 01-27-2016, 12:19 AM

Nice lineup for sure. Its been such a rad season of being funemployed and playing on the 189 BG. Been looking for a Cochise to pair with but I'll be waiting for that Wren 108!!!

**RudyGarmisch** · 01-27-2016, 12:55 AM

Just sayin - Steeple 102 had me grinning heaps more than a my namesake ski ever did this year in Japan. So stoked on the changes to the Steeple and Wren. Also, C&D lust is on...

**SupreChicken** · 01-27-2016, 07:35 AM

Drool. Legitimate pairing down of my quiver could actually happen. Kartel 108 most days. bring out the BG or Caylor for soft days. Kingpins on steeple 108. And hang on to my bros for longer missions.

I like my turbos and GPOs...so getting down to this few pairs might not actually happen...but it could.

Much as I still want the C&D, I have yet to sink my goats...

**TexasGortex** · 01-27-2016, 07:52 AM

How's the flex on the Kartel 116 in relation to current Kartels and Jeffreys?

**auvgeek** · 01-27-2016, 07:54 AM

Really want to get on the new Wren 108 and 191 C&D. Dropping the waist to 124 makes that ski a little more justifiable for me. But like chicken said, I can't really imagine needing more ski than the Goats...

Did someone say Steeple 98?

In line with the J114 (slightly more due to more material, but that is the closest comparison).

I am going to be touring on the new CD. I really only tour for powder so I can justify that in my mind...it is very lite-weight for a ski that size.

(these are all the justifications going on in my head in silence) hahaha
