Hot damn! Great deal and 15 extra maggot points for anyone who can actually ski these. I am almost entirely certain I would break my femur after straightlining uncontrollably into the nearest lift tower trying to tame these.

Is it that burly of a ski?

Is it that burly of a ski?

Maybe not Race Room Pro Riders but probably close.

And PX18 clamps are about as burly and heavy as they come. Sure all the cool kids ride P18s, but those are weak sauce with a DIN all the way down to 8.

Heavy motherfuckers
They cut off the circulation in my legs if the chair doesn't have a rest

(Of course I have axials on mine set at 10...I barely qualify on p18s)


[edit]lest this ^^^ sound like bitching, it's not...i really like skiing them, but, yes, burly is a good word for them

No. Not really, maybe compared to Lines

Sounds like a challenge Ryan

If I haven't just bought a pair of skis I'd be down with these

[wasatchback]

Y'all are a bunch of pussies! What has happened here lately?

Seriously though these are so fucking fun in the right conditions. Still remember my reaction after my first run in pow on them. You have never felt so stable at speed, ever. Nor has it ever been so easy to stomp landings. I've skied these in 5" on low angle trees on a cat skiing day and they were a breeze. When bases are down they pivot so easily. Steep technical terrain is a bitch and when on edge hold on! Bunch of the guides at ARG still say it's the best ski they've ever skied in AK.

That said I did ski into a ditch at about 30 and spiral fracture my leg into about 20 pieces on them and ruin 2 years of skiing. Not the skis fault but still vowed I'd never ski them again.

This is a hell of a deal!

Sweet setup. I am late to the party again. . I would have snagged these.
How many extra maggot points for skiing 196's tele?

[wasatchback]

There's a guy in Park City who Teles on these all the time. And he's not a big dude.

[twoturn]

I don't ski them all the time, but still get out on them even touring. They aren't too much to handle.
How many points do I get?

Do you ski them switch to the road?

[twoturn]

Of course. Only way to fly.

[twoturn]

Did they sell?

[Ottime]

Is it that burly of a ski?

No.

I ski them and they are super easy to ski and stomp with and scrub speed. As long as there is soft snow.

For reference I run 175-180# and stand 5'9" tall.

These skis are fucking awesome. If someone buys my Praxis POWs, I'd grab these with that money.

Truth.

I can not sell my big skis around here anymore. I've got a pair of Seekers with one mount, 8 days on them, and no interest at $150. Everyone seems to think they are too hard to ski. This place has become weaker.

Unless they are dedicated carvers, I'm over skiing anything under 186, and even then I wish my 187 Bonafides were 193s

[Chugachjed]

Would you sell flat? My 192 bros are nearing the end of their life sadly.

[Ottime]

I could take the bindings if that helps with selling them flat, depending on the split rate. More DIN than I need, but the right mount pattern.

[Chugachjed]

I'd be mounting P18. Clamps worth $50 to you Ottime?

[OldSchool1080s]

Loved my 11/12 186s but they were too short and I kept telling myself 196s would be too long... wish they had a 191

Sounds about right.

They really don't feel that long from my experience. Sure, in a tight spot they are long, but they turn so easily, as well as track.

[Chugachjed]

They're sold
