It’s interesting people who have skied the steeples or skinny Billy models are pretty hot about them and refer to them as cold dead hand boards. I’m on my 4th variation- just receiving new custom BG110s. I’ve had 2 pairs of regular BGs, and now have none.
I’d be careful about taking advise against them by people who haven’t skied them..

I wouldn't mind a sanity check here if people want to weigh in...
Looking at a pretty solid deal on a 2019 Billy Goat with pivots. The trick is that it'll be a "one ski quiver" likely for the 21/22 season (or at least most of it).
Effectively, I upgraded my boots and belated realized my current bindings aren't gripwalk compatible. Skis aren't worth enough to buy new bindings and remount. Located in the PNW and will mainly be skiing Crystal this year as a solidly intermediate (but advancing quickly) skier.
I'm okay if they're not absolutely amazing on groomers all the time, just don't want to shoot myself in the foot by picking up something I'd rather use as a shotski than cruise blue runs with my partner.

You could do a lot worse than Billy Goats as a one ski quiver, but you probably won't be too happy on days when it hasn't snowed recently.

I DD'd BGs for a couple years at Crystal (and OG Cease & Desists for a year before that!) and they're great there. Ideal tool. The groomers there mostly suck anyway and the best skiing is stash-crashing. On average years you'll be perma-grinned and on a low-snow year you may want something narrower occasionally.

Since I recommended against the BG110 for skiracer, here's some background:
-I have not skied the current BG110
-I own two pairs of BG116
-I skied one of the very early skinny BG prototypes. Something like 9 years ago.
-I've skied quite a bit with skiracer and am extremely familiar with the terrain and snow conditions he skis on a regular basis
So I don't think I need to ski the current BG110 to recommend against it for him, specifically. I can see it being a cold dead hands ski for some people and some locations and wouldn't recommend against it to everyone - but would for him.

Sounds like this guy isn't "Stash Crashing" (love that term btw) but skiing blues with the partner while, assumedly, working on progressing his own skiing when he gets the chance.
I've never skied BGs, and am eager to try.. so not commenting on the recommendation or lack thereof.
Just think you are imaging the goat as a dd for yourself vs one for a self-declared progressing intermediate.

Been doing exactly this for 4 seasons now. "Cold dead hands" type of ski. Buy it, and see the light. A warning though, everything else will kind of suck in comparison.
For real though, when I bought them my first impression was that they may have been a little beyond my ability. My second day impression was that they absolutely crush. The only 'bad' days I've had on them would've been bad on pretty much anything. Buy them, and maybe add a beater skinny setup in the future if you really feel the need.

Thanks for the kind words and the added detail on the new woods - can't wait to receive mine as well!
Reichman with another tease of the new Jeff110 graphic. Yeah, kinda hard to make out the details, but they sure as hell seem to be another banger. Can't wait for it and the rest of the line to drop.

I think Crystal Swarovski goat is a rad graphic for a top sheet

Little deep and wide on the ON3P quiver for our area but really stoked to DD the Woods110 this season and of course I can’t be without a Billygoat since primarily skiing some iteration of it since 2010. I skied the Wren108 for a few seasons but admittedly I’m in the camp of wanting a bit of a looser version since getting lazier with technique, hence the WD. Such a beautiful and vibrant graphic on both the WD110 and BGT116, love it.
I wanted to mount the Woods slightly back to more match the mount point of skis like the BG, Enforcer104, Ranger102 but the boys said to leave as is for optimal performance for the sidecut…so I mounted 0.5cm back to make myself feel better.
My first mount on the Pivots/CAST, one toe piece is tighter than the other for transitions so hopefully it eases up over time. Now to decide on Raw or Gold Pivot/2nd Cast for the BG.

Yo what's up guys. I can't post a listing on the gear swap but I am selling a pair of 184cm wrenegade 114s. They are mounted up (first mount) with sth2 wtr 13s at rec for a 28 but adjusted to fit my boots (26.5). They are custom black with green sidewalls and have barely been ridden (<10 days). Text me (three-one-seven-7-six-seven-one-eight-0-five) if you are interested and I can send you pictures and/or answer any questions. Was going to sell them for $425 as a set for local pickup in Boulder/Denver Co.
