I own two pairs of skis, kartel 108 and kartel 116. No complaints about overlap. The k116 isn't just a k108+8mm. The differences in shape (taper, maybe?) makes the 116 really good in powder and super stompable off of drops and pops. And it retains all the playfulness. "Hit every kicker in sight" is speaking my language. Billy goats are dumb. Get kartel 116s

Different strokes mang, jibby and noodling is fun for some. Sure you can knock a J116 Mount back but it still doesn’t release in trees like the goat. Also the softer shovels will not penetrate 3D snow like the shovels on the Goat.
I’ve skied every ski in the line up and the one I clicked with the most is the goat. My one qualm is that it can reward lazy skiing, hence the new fancy super goats.
Have a pass at silver, ski all the regional
Hills tho, so easily can link up at Schwizz once they actually get interesting terrain open.

Yall are being ridiculous. Full disclosure, I haven't skied either, but it seems to me the real differences are mount point and tail shape. Landing switch? (Lol) get the j116. Like a forward mount? Get the j116.
Otherwise the goat is the GOAT.

There is a pair of 108 tour goats in a 186 at my local shop for those who are tempted.

Blasphemy! Did you cover up a pair of mint C&Ds to take a picture of a DPS ski?!? Funny that they still run at 700 at half price
Were the C&Ds discounted too? Size?
Nice sticks Conundrum! It looks like we have different binding preferences, but that sure looks like a solid setup for touring based fun!

They were 189s didn’t catch the price honestly. I’ll check it out.

That pretty much fits my skier profile as well. Thanks for that. I think I would have held firm on not going for the 184s (179 out of stock at the moment), but there was always the remote possibility that I'd cave ;-)
Part of me is kicking myself for not acting sooner, and then (the fiscally responsible part) was ok with waiting.

I’ve got wren 98 tours in 179, old Jeffrey 114’s in 186 and a bunch of other skis in between in different lengths. Most of my skis were bought when I lived back east. one commonality I’ve found is that On3p skis are much closer to their advertised lengths vs other companies who advertise a 182-184 are closer to 180~~. For reference in 155 without gear and 5’11. I like a shorter ski for touring but now that I live in California I find myself wanting something longer for the more open skiing here.

Broke my 188 Black Crows Corvus yesterday. After finding almost no personal reviews/info on the Wren 110 Pro apart from Scott’s Blister Podcast I decided to screw it and ordered them.
ON3P Wrenegade 110 Pro + Raw Pivot 15 🦅
Merry Christmas!
240#, directional fall-line skier. Anyone got the beta of what I should expect next week?

sweet sounding setup and a solid quiver you've got going for you. You should snap a pic of it after the wrens make their appearance and post it in the quiver thread for some TGR approval
No beta on said ski, other than what you prob already know. Can't wait to hear how you get on with them. I really like everything about them other than the length being a bit long for myself I really like wren108s, and these should trade a bit of soft snow performance for a new 12-setting on an amp that already went to 11. Please post a picture of them as well - it would be sweet to see them out in the real world and get an appreciation for the graphic.

Thank for the props on the quiver. Absolutely, will do on the posting and the review. Trying to get them mounted up in 8 days. There’s barely any info on them so I’ll be sure to contribute.
Thinking they’ll be a lot like the previous gen (bull-horns) 185 Cochise but turned up to 11 with more tip rocker. That was my daily driver for years before I lost them in the same incident that the Supergoats went for a year long vacation (SG were recovered I’m that guy). I’ve also been a fan of the 196 Bodacious, which IMO skis like a huge Cochise. I was also on the 189 Spur for a few years. That is actually more difficult than the 196 Bodacious.
Been a big fan of the Supergoats and the 184 Steeple 101 (103?). Hopefully this have the same spirit.

I've decided to part with my Woodsmans. It is finally beaten into my head that I need to be further back on the ski.
I know Scott has said it here before but I now understand the importance of mount point in the hierarchy of Ski Characteristics. This is the second pair in my experiment to verify it for myself (first was some 189 Rx which I fully hated).
Almost every ski I've had has been more directional in the mount point.
So now I aim to visualize: where on the sidecut will I put my weight? Body type, ski mount point, stance/ramp/boots all work to determine.
The most intuitive setup for me: BG, Pivots, modern Langes.
The Woodsman is a nice shape but I can't/won't adjust my stance to ski their sweet spot.
Might trade for a Wren but inclined to just sell to afford C&D tours when they come.
Anyone want some 192s?

It could be apples to oranges but my guess is that it should be similar in the foundations of the ski. The nuances are to be determined.
- metal
- flat tail
- longer radius side cut
- 108 vs 110 underfoot
Like the post above me. I’m definitely a more traditional style skier. Langes, Pivots, always prefer to be on top of the ski driving.
I’ve skied a bunch of more centrally mounted skis, and like the post above my. Was a bit concerned about the Woodsman, I knew I definitely wouldn’t like the Jeffrey.
It’s all speculation at this point. Nobody has written anything up on the Wren Pros. I guess I’m “one of the two guys at Snowbird or Jackson” who will actually use them.
