Thinking of selling a pair of M-PRO 105. Couple typical scratches on tips and bases, some shots filled but nothing too serious. One ski had cracked sidewall right underfoot that I filled with epoxy. Mounted with Pivot 15 for 305mm BSL at +1 from recommended which is still -12 from TC.
$200 flat or $400 with Pivots. Located in SLC.

6'3'' 180lbs, tip driving non-centered skier, mounted +1.5, 194 xxls that are beat to shit with 30+ holes in each

ive skied them at +3ish and now at +1.5ish and far prefer them back, would go +.5 if werent swiss cheesed

the clown shoe tip and flat tail makes them ski a little shorter up front than they look imo
i find them easy to engage to turn, but harder to release when locked in and skid out instead of finish my turns if get lazy

being a little shorter and maybe you dont ski as over your tips as i do i could see liking +2, but +1 would be my choice

I demoed the 194's at snowbird way back when, and ended up buying the 187. Used to be a similar size to you when i rode them regularly, but am now a good bit heavier. Take this with a grain of salt since it's the 187, but i moved from on the line to -2 since i always wanted more float and i think gwat was hardcore championing the -2 mount on all big dynastars. I don't remember what the rearward mount gave up in terms of versatility anymore but I don't think it was a lot, but it definitely helped with the float. This was just before tip rocker took off so to me stuffing a tip on a chop destroyer is a mortal sin, so I preferred the rearward mount. I would say if you have any more modern skis and are used to tip float that we are spoiled for nowadays then avoid going too far forward if you intend to use these often in deeper chop, even on the 194

You’re little taller and a lot lighter than me and I loved my 194’s on the dot. I can drive tips or ski centered and really didn’t like them much more forward of the line and hated them back. The 187 was pure shite behind the line. These are not known for float but as chop missiles, and that they do real well. I also don’t ski on my inside ski with the down hill one outriggered so who knows.

After a few days on my M-Pro 99s, they are up for sale, and I got a pair of M-Free 99s.

My 192 M-Free 108s are awesome in how they are able to charge but can also be skied slowly, but are just a bit big for when you can’t ski full-throttle. I got the M-Pros as a narrower ski to complement them, but the flat tails are a bit much for sneaking into the trees to find stashes (though I did like them overall). I am hoping the M-Free 99s will be the little brother to the M-Free 108s that I’m looking for.

Please update when you get some time on them. I’m trying to figure out which direction to go for MF108 little brother too.

**Skiwurrel** · 01-31-2023, 11:52 AM

Thank's for the advice y'all!

ended up going +1 to fit in the mount between holes, hopefully rockn we shall see. It's funny some chargers with similiar build i have liked +2 being right over top of the skis, and some like the boneshaker were so shit from that point you could only steer them well from -2

Ya had a pair of 187s before and went over the bars a few times pinning it and submarining. Actually snapped one in an avy! somehow popped out solo unscathed . going back for redemption on the 194s!

I did similar, probably skied the mPro 99's for over a month and sold them in favor of the mF99. I have the 108's too.

For all the talk about the mPro 99 being precise and demanding I didn't see it, I'd rather run a Bonafide or M6 for that spot in the quiver. And as fun as the mF99 is I'm back to wanting the ski I got the mPro for in the first place. Mfree 99 isn't the greatest DD here in the EC, it's killer in 2-4" of soft and it ruled for spring skiing last year.

Hmm...to each their own. I have MPro 99 and 90, x96 Legend and x106 Legend. I wasn't too sure about the 99 at first but after several days on them, they've become my favorite. I ski them on virtually everything except for deeper snow which I reserve the 106 for. Out of probably 60-70 days this year, the 99s will be the ski of choice for at least 50 of those, likely more. Disclaimer: I've never skied the Mf line so can't compare. I should try them but then it's another choice that has to be made...

**ticketchecker** · 01-31-2023, 02:23 PM

^^I ski in Maine where it's firmer than firm most days hence the Bone/M6 peference over the mPro, I think the mPro had too much taper and splay for our terra firma as a DD.

Of course I could just dust off my Super Bro's...

You will sell the X106 if you pick up the mfree108. I did.

Yeah but the issue is that I really don't ski the 106 very often as it's really for 12" or more new. So, the 108 might suffer the same fate and I'm not sure I want to spring for some skis that sit in the locker for all but about 5 days in a season. Besides, I really like the 106 and kinda hate to part with them. So many skis, so little time...

**kuptonny** · 01-31-2023, 04:01 PM

Thanks everyone on here and other threads for feedback on the mfree 99's, I ended up grabbing a new pair 188's on ebay a few weeks back. I got 2 days in at snow summit (big bear/socal) this weekend. I'm 5'10 ~170lbs and mounted on the line.

Coming from a 2014 or 15 178 j skis allplay, I'm really liking how they feel so far on the groomers. Definitely stiffer and more stable than the allplays but still fun to pop and butter and play around a bit. Took them into any little washed out tree skiing available and they seemed agile enough for whatever I needed them to do. Looking forward to longer runs and more challenging terrain to really put them to the test, but really happy with the purchase so far

Anybody been on next years M-tour 108 F-team? Besides having a stupid name, they’re a near identical shape to the m pro 108, but a feathery 1.4kg/ski at the 179 length. And with the dynastar basalt/PU combo I assume they aren’t shite on hard snow.

I’m tempted to add them to my pre-season order

Got a link to this ski?

nope, but I've been told it exists in 179 and is expected in 186.

186 would be great.

**D(C)** · 02-01-2023, 05:05 PM

Is the 186 a 192 M-Free with the tail chopped?

**toastybroski** · 02-01-2023, 05:07 PM

Any idea if they will restock 192s mfree in the pro shop this year? I can’t get a hold of them and I want those skis damnit.

I saw that, too. Though I’m curious about the 182. Supposedly a lesser ski. But I’m 155 and on tele, meaning less leverage/power compared to fixed heel. Have 184 bibby and 192 lotus138 and have no regrets about length of either ski. Hmmmm

The 182 will be perfect for ya.
