It was smooth in places with soft bumps in others that the SG would destroy. Now firm bigger bumps and I could see them being a handful. I would think the stock flex, for me, would be better in bumps.
That was the SG. Just mounted the 191's I received from you. Not sure when I can get on them. It's killing me. Esp with snowmageddon coming.

2x stiff SGs are stiffer than, but not as locked in as my 191 wrens. The more I ski the 2x stiff, the more I notice the flex. They are beefy, especially through the tail. The tips still have just enough flex to work very well in powder though. Wrens feel like they have a traditional 35m radius. The wren 191s just want to ski straight, whenever, and wherever. I believe the supergoats have significantly more rocker though, I’ll check when I get home. SG feels more like a pow ski, Wren feels like a wide all mtn ski. Both are uber burly, just in different ways, and both demand more attention than my 191 Monsters. Monsters are stiffer and heavier, but feel like a 24m sidecut.
My Wrens were custom pressed from like 2015 or 2016. They are 114mm underfoot. I dont really know much other than that. I was thinking of selling them, but then I saw the light. Skis like that are going extinct, and I would regret it. Very fun when you wanna go fast in any conditions, save for super deep bumps. The supergoat can hang, but it’s easier to pivot and feels like it is a tighter radius on edge.
The biggest thing I notice from this new shape of the BG, is it finally has the ability to carve when needed. It’s nothing to “write home to ma” about, but it’s noticeably better than other RES designs I have tried. It’s pretty fun on a soft groomer.
Stock flex SG’s would definitely be better in large bumps. Regular BG’s are better in bumps, by a large margin. That’s where I notice the largest difference in performance between the two. Standard ones are actually fun in deep choppy bumps, one of the best of the wide powder skis. For smaller bumps, with no trenches between them, they both absolute crush those things..like a bat out of hell.

So close... Green bases were the best to watch spin.

I feel like I could have totally used some Billygoats today. It was deep, heavy, chopped to shit, and kicking my ass on 184 Bibbys. Would have been a good 189 BG day.

so, the quiver transformation is now almost complete - I just need to get the wren88s back and mount a black/tecton combo on them. I had some spare vipecs in the parts bin, so decided to go with those - that is black front and use the tecton heels off my bmt122s as vipec heels are sufficient for soft snow use - instead of buying a new pair of p14s.
I ended up going with k98 in 176 due to availibility, intended use (summer glacier skiing and learning to spin/jib/butter/ride switch) over the 181s that would the more natural choice perhaps. Can't wait to try em out. Happy days - lots of snow and new ski stoke
Also thought i had a ski vacation coming up next week, but apparantly that was in three weeks-> a time i cannot go anymore due to other obligations. Oh well.

Quick note. I have always felt I am right in between the two largest lengths of BG’s. Had the 191 Kartel 116 out today in 3” they are just so good. I’m a pretty directional skier but these things rip. Rocking through crud with speed is zero effort too. Such a great ski. Kind of hits the middle sweet point for me of the BG lengths.

I am about to mount mine up..How did the C&Ds ride compared to BGs? They want to go faster? They feel softer and have so much more rocker..

hm, so apparently my current wren108 are softish skis that skis nice. I never noticed - i just thought they were/are awesome I am guessing TGR will approve of these new more manly beasts - though, how much of the flex difference is caused by comparing a 184 to a 189 (under the assumption that the skis get stiffer as they get longer)?

I had the same reaction... considering I had the 112’s previously with quite a few days on them for comparison. Seems a bit exaggerated IMO.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

I don’t think you will gain a lot. As stated many times before ON3P has their mounting locations pretty well dialed. If you want a ski that is more forgiving in tight spots, go shorter, or look at the Kartel, or Billygoat. And my gut reaction is tail may become a little less easy to release if you go forward. It is not hard at the recommended mounting location to throw your weight forward and pivot on the front of the ski if you want.

Also keep in mind the context: Scott's statement was in response to someone asking why I wouldn't just mount a Wren forward instead of wanting a burlier Kartel. You'll probably be okay at +1 or less, but it will be very weird mounted anything like a Kartel, which is like +4 to +6 from the line (depending on which lengths you're comparing).
Though again, the Wren is great at what it does, and you won't make it a Kartel by mounting it forward."Alpine rock and steep, deep powder are what I seek, and I will always find solace there." - Bean Bowers
