I'z jokin'. I have a pair already. They're currently employed as gear hangers in the garage.

This thread has me thinking. Would a ski that works especially well at Snowbird also work well at other UT resorts? Specifically Deer Valley. Or would you recommend I go with a narrower waisted ski. I hear they tend to groom more there than Snowbird.

As always, Red Soul 7.

That's a Colorado ski. Won't work in Utah.

That works very well in The Canyons and Deer Valley.

Shit dibs, I’ll take those bad boys if theyre still there!

Skis waaaay too big for a CO ski, maybe Cali??

[stuckathuntermtn]

Ok, it's a Vail, Heavenly, Deer Valley ski.
BUT ONLY THOSE PLACES.
Or at least somewhere that charges $12 for a beer.

Thinking I may go with some Fischer Ranger 102 FR (136-102-126 R18) but still open to opinions coming off of some 2013 184cm Volkl Katana's (143-112-132 R25.8).

I mostly ski on powder days at Snowbird (Upper Silver Fox, Wilber Bowl, Baldy) but still want a ski that is fast and stable on groomers for the non power days. I'm 5'11" and 150 lbs. Looking to downsize just a bit and go to something closer to 100-105mm in width, 180 cm in length, and 15-20 meter turn radius. Thanks!

Thanks!

[Timberridge]

Good choice. From your picture you look like a Fischer guy. They'll be perfect.

[SLCUTAH]

Changed my old profile pic to something new that I do on melted snow...

[Timberridge]

To go with the new skis. Nice.

Now, boots and other gear. How are you set up for that?

[SLCUTAH]

Also thinking of some new boots, currently have some 2008 Salomon Falcon Race boots. Looking for a lighter tech boot in a 120 ish stiffness, something like the Ranger Free 120 but does not have to be Fischer.

This is when you go for the red ones.

[Timberridge]

This is when you go for the red ones.

IIRC those are red. OP is looking to slow down a bit, so I suggest another color.

And 2008? Those liners must be more packed out than Kim Kardashians pussy.

[EWG]

I feel like we should discuss poles also. And probably baskets.

[Timberridge]

What are most people using for poles at Snowbird? Something adjustable, for when its packed out and for the deep powder days?

[Luke Campbell]

How has nobody suggested either kartel 108 or Deathwish? Both are super fun and you don’t have to fly to get it out of them.

[SLCUTAH]

Does ON3P still make the Kartel 108? Looked at the ON3P Woodsman 108 which I liked. The Deathwish "might" be a bit on the big side...Moment Commander 108 looks fun.

[whyturn]

Just buy the demo pon2oons it’s gonna be deep out there. Rolls over everything

Likely because OP didn't seem inclined toward freestyle sticks

[3PinGrin]

Praxis Freeride possibly? (if you don't mind the devil's price, being from SLC and all ) https://www.praxisskis.com/skis/freeride/

Don't discount the 4FRNT MSP107, an excellent directional choice for LCC.

For ski poles i have 2pr, small basket for non-pow days, and big baskets for 8"+. Just like 99, 107, and "plus size" skis in the truck.

Just rebranded back to its original branding - Jeffrey 108. Same ski for 2020 outside the name/topsheet.
