What is Seth skiing on?

Let’s play a game. He has a few pairs, but I think he’s mostly on the Atomic automatic 117?

pretty sure they're blacked out OG Blizzard Spurs [edit Bodacious]

I sleuthed this back when he was initially dropped by K2. In some photos back then on Twitter etc., you could see "Blizzard" logo on the bases under the tips, and you could see some green on top/sides where his black paint didn't quite cover every bit of the green at the edges. My conclusion back then was the green 2016-18 Blizzard Bodacious: https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/blizzard-bodacious-2016

Oops, I meant Bodacious. I'm pretty sure it's them cuz the Spur only came in a 189, and he had a shorter pair when I saw him in Cham at a bus stop. He was gonna go ski a narrow coulie so his friends told him to bring his short skis but didn't have touring bindings on the short skis -- his plan was to straightline across the Argentiere glacier as far as possible and then alpine shuffle. I laughed when he said it until I realized he was serious.

I feel like we need to start a GoFundMe account to get him on some current skis. Does he have any other sponsors these days?

[auvgeek]

I was honestly hoping ON3P was gonna pick him up since their skis are the closest I've skied to the old skool K2s.

But frankly, I'm not sure he wants sponsors. He seems pretty content not being a "corporate skier" with pressure to produce content. But what do I know.

We can all chip in to get him some SuperGoats dubbed "Obsethssions". All black tophsheets work.

Ah that makes sense it’s probably the old/new(?) Bodacious.

In one of his posts he’s on a ski with neon green sidewalls so thats what made me think of the automatic. He also has a ski with a more blunt tip, looks like the nordica patron maybe.

[Buster Highmen]

Most undeserving of being dropped by sponsors, an undeniable GOAT skier.
Shame on K2 and Full Tilt.

I hope shops are throwing him free stuff. If I were a shop owner, I’d give him skis in exchange for putting up a sign that says Seth Shops Here.

After reviewing all of his instagram posts and doing some digging on his website, I have concluded that he is skiing on snow.

Saw him on some S7's the other day.

[babybear]

I figured he would be on black crows. where all former pro skiers end up NTTAWWT

I knew Seth was copying me!

I was gonna make a joke here, but based on his social media dude seems to be in a seriously dark place mentally so I'll refrain. Hope he gets the help he needs.

[Jonny Snow]

Anyone know the specifics of his current boot setup? Hope he's doing better.

?? Looks to me like he's out skiing powder all the time. If that's a dark place, sign me up...

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but if one of my pals was posting things like: "I need help, my mind is full of bad ideas" and #toxicperson, I'd be checking in with 'em.

I guess that's one interpretation, but I thought he was just saying "this line is sketchy...YIKES!"

[TahoeJ]

He's referring to a sketchy chute in the photo that he's already committed to since he's in the middle of it.

Probably true and that interpretation crossed my mind as well. Still, having had friends with depressive and manic tendencies (still have them, thankfully), I've found that many times the folks espousing #livelife #stayhappy #turnoffyourbrain are trying to convince themselves to do so more than others, so it sounds some alarms for me.

Maybe I'm totally out to lunch and dude is truly stoked. In that case: WOOO POWDER!!! Carry on with the ski sleuthing.

I don’t think it’s wrong to look out for your heroes.

McConkey, Auclair, Pierre. Everyone in the Stevens pass tunnel creek slide. Those deaths all had an impact on me.

I hope your interpretation is wrong and the post is all about the skiing, but you never know and I certainly don’t think it’s impossible that he is or has gone through some dark stuff.

Good news is that if he is, I’d say he’s treating it appropriately. Can’t think of a better natural neurotransmitter booster than deep pow and untracked lines.

[east or bust]

FWIW I’ve read his posts in the same light as North, hope I’m wrong.

Seth definitely has GOAT status in my book.

[Vitamin I]

I will keep playing this game.

SETH'S PAIR #1: I'm sticking with my guess of 2016-18 Blizzard Bodacious 193cm
SETH'S PAIR #2: not sure yet, working on it

...He also has a ski with a more blunt tip, looks like the nordica patron maybe.

Is Patron your guess for this Pair #2 from March 2018?

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf7Cv1JgX1J/

CLUES:
In the IG comments for Pair #2, Seth
1) says it is NOT a Rossi Black Ops
2) implies disdain for any ski that is 186cm or shorter, ("really?...[186cm] is for intermediate skiers" -Seth)
3) implies they are painted black & he won't reveal the ski model ("why would I promote some halfwit ski company for free?" -Seth)
4) says he PAID for those skis "new", shortly before March 2018

Photo Clues:
Seth chose those skis for the day of the photo, for what looks like a decent powder surface (although very little snow on the tree branches), and Seth's history ever since ObSETHed seems to be preference for roughly ~118mm-underfoot skis on pow days.
