When are you coming back this way to test your theories?

Hey, no shaming here! Just a tiny bit of needling. I'm just jealous anyways, would do the exact damn thing if I had the means and/or space to do so

Also, Bandit, you should ask this ski expert what he recommends.

Can you explain to me the Baker + LibTech thing? It feels like 80% of the good riders there are on lib-tech, and I don't see it nearly as much anywhere else

I haven't found the 110's to be as loose and easy as their full-fat sibling, 2017 variant anyway.

What's the deal with Curated? They just let any Jabroni/Jong write a review?

I like the fact that guy has a picture of Chris Logan throwing a sick shifty as one of "his" pictures in his bio...

The first ski that came to mind was ON3P 110 Jeffrey…

It's a 'job' where 'they' hire you and you get paid based on the gear sales that you 'help' people to decide to make

Rfc is referring to Alpental chop which imo pushes back a little harder than your chop if you know what I mean. JH snow >alpy

Lib tech is manufactured in Sequim . Kinda like on3p is to pdx except going back 30+ yrs.they also build sticks with that place in mind and have a deal with the pro patrol that incentives them to ride them

Goat 110 though no?

I had no idea Lib Tech was in Sequim.. I used to live very close by before I was a skier. Strange place for a ski company to locate but I dig it. Its also like a 6 hour trip to Baker from there, maybe more
