Oh yeah, had 3 hours of very magical turns on them, just got less greedy with taking the runs to the bottom vs just lapping the upper lift.

Anybody know the recommended edge angles on r1 lotus 138 192cm? I saw that marshal is setting his upcoming c138 at 1:2 (base:side). I’ve been slacking

Ode to the DPS Lotus 138 (and Volant Spatula)
Ha! True, but three times I’ve (accidentally) toured on hard pack with my l138. 1500’ single pitch descent (it’s a great pow run). Beware the first cold and windy storm after the January thaw.
How’s that saying go? Fool me once shame on you….

I picked up a pair of 192 L138 Spoons in the Pure 3 construction. Purple ones. Wondering about mount point on them - I generally ski relatively centered. Go with recommended or move the mount forward?

PSA / heads up....
not sure if you'd consider this a good price, but they look pretty clean. comments say $650.

Two questions:
1. Which would be more fun skiing telemark? Lotus 138 or Lotus 148 Spoon?
2. Can you tour on Lotus 148 Spoon or is it too wide to be efficient in on the uptrack?

Hold your feet a bit further apart? I toured on 128mm wide Protests and it wasn’t too bad.

Yeah, I've toured a bunch on L138s and Protests and have found the same. Super fattys are great if you're breaking trail in deep snow, but you're often half-way breaking trail in an existing skin track, too.
My bad knee doesn't like sidehill skinning on firmer snow with a ski that wide, either.

I tour on l138 on tele. I think they are a load of fun, but not all tele skiers like a lot of tail rocker.
I’m usually breaking trail, with a crew that’s breaking trail, or the skin track is soft, so I’ve never had a problem with the width in a skin track. Traversing on the up on hard snow is tricky because of the width.

Just picked up a pair of 182 L138 spoon Pure3's, the purple ones for the wife, and need to install clamps (Vipec). Is the consensus on the +1 line? More forwarder or more backwarder? She tends to like pretty traditional mounts FWIW. Evidently Christmas never stops for her!

Don't think I've ever seen a mounted thrice ski go for $1,300. ugh.

WTF?
$1300?
3 mounts, but only 2 days on them?
He moved the third mount to +3.5?!?

Controversial opinion I know , but the purple spooned version isn’t R/R. It’s basically a fat 5 point ski like the JJ. I bet This guy was moving the mount point around because they ski funky and tip hook and he couldn’t figure them out.
