-10 concept I feel will be close to a PJ...maybe not but spoke to Keith about this and bought a PJ.
BC - shifts bc I know I’ll want to use it on resort or at least have the option for the day when I travel. Agreed on maybe not shifting it and something I have been thinking too.

I was thinking of this in a lightweight build as an alternative to the 'backcountry' as I have been stuck on sizing with the backcountry (I want 175 BC and thought a 177 -10 Concept could be a good touring ski, albeit a different flavour to the BC).

175 gpo is 111 waisted? Thatd be a nice touring ski. Friend just got a pair. Hope she likes them with the 3 flex

IMO, I would generally stay away from the UL core. The Enduro/carbon/veneer combo is pretty damn light, but will ski significantly better in marginal conditions. There are so many good, reliable lightweight bindings and boots out there nowadays that I would rather shave weight there than in my ski build.

Those look awesome. Really like that profile.
Common sense. So rare today in America it's almost like having a superpower.

Ya, Keith and the crew did a great job. He did mention that he thinks this is the direction he thinks he’s going to go with the MVP in general, maybe not the flat camber but easing up on the rise in the tips, flex, etc.
Now if we could just get some snow in Tahoe...

I can measure a little later but there’s about 30-40cm that’s flat underfoot on the pair Keith did for me. Tabke’s version still has the camber but less than the standard version.

holy crap - 550usd for those brand spanking new, custom made 2021 wider MVPs is spectacular value for money.

Any of you using the GPO as a resort daily driver? Looking for something that can be playful, doesn't mind cruising groomers with little ones, but will perform in the pow and chopped up snow. Trying to decide if 116 underfoot is a little unwieldy for this sort of use but found a good deal on one so any thoughts are appreciated.
