Sweet! 'Bout time to pick up a backup pair...

But, have the dimensions changed or is it a tip width typo on that screen shot? Or maybe it's just me misinterpreting the screen info scale...

Typo. (And good catch) still 130-95-121.

Good! I mean like, if not broken don't fix it, I love em as they are!

[dschane]

Glad to see the 104s are back. Solid, all-around touring ski.

SD105 in 187cm & uber-manly 202cm.

Is this my year to wield excalibur?

Funny after talking to you about the supergoats, this is what i was looking at too!

A super beefy variable conditions ski makes more sense for me than a super beefy pow ski. I dont rage in soft snow the way I do on firmererer snow.

Based on how heavy the snow is in the PNW too the SD105 202's would be rad. But also super interested in 196 countdown 114's!

[margotron]

Woah!!

Has anyone by chance been on the showdown 202's? Or the Countdown 114, 196's? Debating one or the other, or both depending on what the group buy looks like. They seem similar in some ways but don't want too much crossover in the skis.

Damnit, I want dem 202s sooo bad! For three years now I have blown my wad over the summer, just to miss out on the Down pre sale every fall.

My Dynastar Pro Riders have had a good workout this NZ winter. More than half my ski days have been on them, and a long, heavy, straight ski is just the ticket for variable days.

I hope some mag springs for the 202s and writes up a good review.

After 9/15, I'll send a PM to those who've posted here or PM me and we'll see where we're at. Betelgeuse, you should definitely grab a pair of 202s. It won't be hard to re-sell them if they're not as dreamy in real life as they are on paper, given the prices Down asks for new skis.

Just mount them with an Attack14 AT demo binding. Then we can shuffle around ad nauseum until someone has a regular use for 202s.

You need these skis, and my guess is, that (as much as we all like Rx's), your lightweight/touring Rx's should be CD 114's ... this coming from someone who hasn't skied the 114's ... only the 104's, however.

Channel your inner Bimboes.

I guess I’m in for an SD 95 I never received mine from last years group buy. I believe that Geo told me that there was some production delays with the metal skis
I still have the bindings for them in my closet so I’m ready to get Down

This is the one ski that could sway me from a CD 104 or 114. I'm gonna post a question or two about it over in the Tech Talk thread - to keep all that stuff over there.

It's a width in my quiver that I've ignored - almost caving on either Wren or Kartel 98s last Winter.

I keep buying skis in the 11x width category - wishful thinking that every day is a powder day ;-)

I have never owned a metal ski I rented a pair of bramas last season at Alta and I had a great day on them Collins side was firm no problem backside was soft and big bumps no problem
So hoping these will be a fun low tide ride.
I also ordered pair of wildcat 108 tours so I’m over spending again but I can’t help it

[doebedoe]

Anyone with SD95s that can speak to stiffness comparable to more common skis (Bonafide, Enforcer etc)?

geo -- ideal euro touring ski? LD90 or CD104L?

I have a pair of SD95 as well as a pair of unmounted Bones in the garage. If you want to swing by you can compare for yourself.
I say the SD is every bit as stiff / stiffer, but more damp than the Blizzard.
