It’s a charger - I’d call it an “approachable” charger. I wouldn’t call them playful…
They are a lot lighter than the LP105. Way more maneuverable. Kinda apples/oranges… I need more time on them.

Agreed. Got my R9s out this past weekend. They still rip and if Blizzard had rejected my warranty, I would of gotten another pair. I would of even paid full retail if I had to, they are that good.

This is good to hear, I've been devoted to the Cochise since I bought a pair in 2013, but I haven't been on any newer than the 2016 blue/black ones. I'm still using the 2013s as a rock ski but they really should be retired. My 2016s are also beat, and I have another pair of the 2013 I got used that is in great shape but are 192 cm which is a little long at times.
What is the profile like on the new ones, does anyone have a picture?that's all i can think of, but i'm sure there's something else...

Not perfect but this should give a good idea as to their profile…
As a side note I have the 106 and a buddy of mine rode mine and bought a pair…. He ended up having an unexpected surgery over the summer and does not feel he will be up to riding this ski…. With that said he is looking to move these fresh never been mounted 106s and looking to get $475 shipped US…

I posted this over in the groomer ski thread.
I really like that Blizzard add the bevels to the specs, but what is up with a +/- 1,5 degree room for variation?
Is this "industry standard"?
Does this mean that most of us won't notice the difference?
Or that Blizzard for some reason states more variation than what's realistic? Bell curve and all that

Even the best machines have a tolerance of +/- .2 degrees when perfectly adjusted. Side edge bevel seems to vary depending on the width of the ski with Blizzard, with carver models under 100mm closer to 3 degrees and wider models closer to 1, but they stated spec in the literature is the same for pretty much all skis but race models.

Pure speculation, but it's gonna be Rustler 11 Tour. ZG108 is gone, and Rustler seems to be wildly popular.
Also some wishful thinking here, as 188 is kinda long for me and 180 is kinda short. I would go for 180 in tour layup in a heartbeat.
