Posts like these is starting to make it dawn on me that selling my BG108tours might have been an aweful mistake. Though a custom pair with the white eagle graphic wouldn't be poor replacement. Those look sensational!
oh my - very nice!
Are those the custom softer wren110pros that somebody luckily bought so that I did not have to?
Not that I've heard, but perhaps they'd be willing to make a run of them after the custom sale's many custom pairs and the most popular SKUs are back in stock if enough people want a pair. I dunno, but I think there was some chatter about making a run a while back before custom sales exploded this year.

Gotta say I'm pretty curious about the new Jeff 110. I always thought I was more of a Wren skier, but the last couple of years I've really taken to skis with more progressive mount points. The new longer turn radius intrigues me too. My current inbounds daily driver is the Sickle which in a 186 size has very, very similar numbers to the new Jeffery 110. I love the flat camber aspect of Sickle, but would be stoked to give the new Jeffery a try one of these days.

I think a lot of people have slept on the mid-waisted Jeffrey. I have put so many days on the 108 in the last 2 years. Even pulling it in favor of my BG's, and I used it in waist deep blower the other day while my J118's are out of my hands. So capable and versatile from the park to pow. If you are the kind of skier that can comprehend not driving the shit out of the tips then it's a winner.

2014 BG is still the shizzle
Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

ON3P SKIS Discussion
I’ve been skiing “driving the shit outta my tips” skis (supernaturals) for the first handful of days this year cause we have no fucking snow in CO. Finally on my Jeff108s today which are my real DDs. Within two runs I am no longer feeling irrational lust for Woodsmans. God I love the way Jefferys ski. I feel like I can make them do anything I want, anytime, any place. So much confidence and fun.
That’s all.Last edited by EWG; 12-28-2021 at 08:41 PM.

Thank you, ULLR for the 25” of whiteness blasted into my grille.

Didn’t think it was possible…but today was even better.
But yesterday also was amazing. There are some CDs buried under this, I assure you pic: cmsummit

Thoughts on a rearward mount for the pair of 161 Jessie 102’s I picked up from my 5’ 3”, 115-lb daughter?
She’s a directional skier with 159 Blizzard Black Pearl 98’s as her DD. Thinking -1-cm or maybe even -2. Also kicking around mounting some Squire demos so we can play around with mount points.In constant pursuit of the perfect slarve...

First day on WD 102 today, 187s stock core. Mounted recc - 1. No detune
A couple of hours on groomers that had recieved 5-15cm overnight. Some were freshly groomed, some were groomed before the snowfall.
- nimble, but not very slarvy
- pretty forgiving, likes some forward pressure
- good edgehold and ability to cut through when skied properly - especially on soft groomers
- I belive they will float nicely for a 102 waist
- didn't like pow bumps when flat on their soles
- maybe a bit one-dimensional turn feel, liked one radius best
- unsure about the tune, as some of the points above hints towards. Fine on soft and consistent snow, when hitting scraped of they felt ok if in a proper carve, but if slarving they felt "off". Slightly hooky and jerky, and for some reason the outside edge tried to force me into the splits when I hit a bump at a weird angle.
Will detune properly from contact points, but some of the jerkyness came from underfoot also.
Slightly reminded me of the C&Ds I got that had no base bevel, but not as bad.
Compared to my Mantra 102s they had less edge hold, but also more "demanding" when not in a carve.
Edit: oh yeah. They are really poppy, not dead or planky at all. Probably excellent for side hits and whatnot

Sounds like tose woods just need the rockers detuned to fix any issue. Having sharp edges on zny of the rocker defeats the purpose of hzving rocker. Round'm znd go have fun.

nice PowTron - all time conditions over yonder!
To be fair, the new 110s feel quite different compared to the old 108s - at least in the 182 length. My time on them is pretty limited yet in not the greatest conditions (I have also been skiing like shit), but they are a lot more easy going than the OG WD108s. The tails are def on the mellower side of the spectrum. I can't really compare them to MF108s yet, but first impression is that they are closer to MF108s than both first gen 108s and wood108tours were. Actually, my first impressions of the new tails is so favorable that I have been thinking about asking Iggy to start thinking about a 118 version, preferably with the XavierD graphic
I am also very pleasantly suprised by wood96s. They are great. I can actually feel the difference between their old core tails (they are still a fair bit softer than og wd108 tails) and the new 110s - the new core layup feels a bit different. I def prefer wood96s to Rustler10s on groomers.
I've been less impressed with my travel quiver - aka wood102+wood110 in 50/50 layup with Tectons. I think the issue there is a difference in ramp angle comparing Tectons to Cast, not anything that the skis do that is wonky or that their tune is off. I love how Cast skis, whereas Tectons not so much - so there is something there that causes it I believe. Time will tell. It is almost like I can't ski when I use them on groomers, though they ski soft snow off piste better. I mean, my technique is shit at the best of times, but with these I ski like a (insert person who have never skied living in a country with no snow skiing fo the first time). I am leaning towards remounting the 102s with Cast as a part of the quiver consolidation project.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts SF - much appreciated.
