    This may be the year I finally get the SD105. Anyone have time on the 187? I wish we could get them with the CD114 Limited graphics from last year. Those are some of the sickest skis I've seen.

    Skied the 187 SD105 as a daily driver most of last year both in Switz and in Tahoe. Overall it's a good ski, excellent at speed in pow. 187 is nimble enough to make hop turns in tight terrain, I don't think the 202 could swing around as easily. Versatile enough to use in nearly all kinds of conditions. Skinny shovel can make them a bit funky in deeper snow.

    My biggest warning is that the mount point was a bit tricky. I put it on the recommended line (0), but I think it would ski a bit better at -2 or whatever Bimbo's spot is. I think they would have some more float and seems it would be a better balance point -or maybe I just suck and ski in the backseat no matter where the ski is mounted!

    I did crack the topsheet on day 4 and hit a stump and nearly blew out an edge the same day. Geo took a look and gave them a clean bill of health (topsheet crack is cosmetic damage only). Crack in topsheet did get a bit bigger through the year tho.

    I assume y'all also have someone set for Boston reshipping, but I'm in Western Mass and might be able to help if needed.
    There's a bunch of feedback on the CD104L and LD102 on last year's group buy thread.

    Funny enough I mounted my 202s -2cm of recommended and regretted it. Wish I had been on the line. Left way too much tip at least for how I ski.
    They are some serious skis. Pretty much point and hold on with the occasional turn.

    I have the SD95s. The mount issue was the top sheet marks being off, as I recall. Actual recommend point on the 95s is perfect. Geo had actual measurements from tail to confirm if your top sheet mark was good to go or not.

    Also, I STILL have the warranty pair to send out as US demos. I failed to get it done last Winter, and missed some demo binders. I'll get that back to the top of the list so those are ready to go in CO and beyond.

    They’re basically a carbon copy of the old Enforcer, or at least as close as anyone has gotten. I’ve A-B’d them a few times. The SD95s are a bit more damp than the enforcer (but have less of that race-bred pop). They strike a really nice balance that many other skis in that category lack.

    Just a quick (non-)update. I've been collecting names from those that PM'd and emailed me. I have to do some work travel this week to put food on the plate and buy more skis, but I'll send out an email with a spreadsheet at the end of this week or early next week, so we can figure out shipping locations / points of contact. - Cheers.

    Re the SD105, I assume the 5300gr weight is for the 202cm. How much do the 187s weigh, please?

    Good luck on selling lots of skis :-)
    I need to weight this years but in the 4700g range. I will get back to you tomorrow.

    I sent an email to those who've expressed interest in the group buy. If you didn't get it (and it's not in your spam can) or if you're interested, send me a PM or email.

    Just catching up from the weekend. Reply sent and you're in.

    The plan is to finalize the order and get it in this Friday (for others who might be on the fence).

    Mount them on the line and they ski really short, the clamps are shockingly far forward. Makes kickturn into a bit of a pain with all the tail though.
    I'm remounting mine at -3 or -4 this year after grumbling for an entire season.

    Did you mount them on the printed line or measured from the tail as per below?

    On the printed line, when this discussion popped up I measured to make sure the topsheet was where it was supposed to be and the mount line turned out to be within 2mm of where it was supposed to be.
    I live in the back seat though so take my recommendation with a grain of salt.
