1860g standard layup isn't awful, I'd love it lighter cuz it would be competing with a 1250g ski, but idk. Anyone know how much weight in a ski that size the current tour layup might shed? I can still do 1800'/hr and 4.5k dawn patrols pretty casually on my ~1650g Praxis Wootests, maybe I should spend the summer doing leg lifts.
Also can someone answer my embarrassing "what is straight pull" JONG question... along the base, or tip to tail in the air?
Edit: thank you (and seems the 179 is my number)Last edited by mall walker; 02-19-2020 at 06:03 PM.

Take a tape measure. Hook it on the tail of the ski. Pull it straight to the tip. Not following the curve of the base. Straight line from tip to tail (so yes in the air above the topsheet). Just like if you were measuring how tall a person is, you don't follow all the curves of their body.
Yeah Iggy has mentioned testing a lighter "tour" core but I'm not anticipating seeing it in production in 20/21.

There will be a time when a 193 BG slides its way into the line up.

I think it usually saves something like 100-150gr depending on the ski.
To add to the straight pull measurement method: the measuring a person analogy is apt. Personally I prefer to measure it with the ski laying flat on the floor, tails touching a wall - and then measuring from the wall to an angle device (it can be a book or whatever as long as it is higher than the splay) at a 90 degree angle from the floor touching the tip. That way splay doesn't affect the measurement (due to any angle of the tape measurer) and you get the horizontal length of the ski -> all skis will be measured the same way.
I thought the main design criteria of the Wootest was to be able to kill it in shit snow?
Yes and no. Iggy offers a custom sale during summer where you save a bit - like 100-150 off, but not 50% like Keith does. Iggy's sale also makes it a bit easier for us not to screw up too badly by not offering his customers the opportunity change literally anything like Keith offers. It is still a great deal imho. It is a nice way to end with a custom ski (your choice of graphics and/or lay up) at the same or nearly the same price as stock (provided you do not change everything or go veneer). If you change everything things get a bit expensive quickly, but such is life.

Does anyone know the tip rocker heights of C&Ds and Billy Goats? And how far back does the rocker start? There are profile pics on the interwebs, but no numbers that I can find.

Skied 50cm of cream cheese today, in pretty low visibility. Deep tracks cutting back and forth
186 BGs reigned supreme. While everybody else were flailing, I had one of my best days all year

Also, considering the glide bike, you’re obviously much more of an advanced skier. NTTAWWT
