Thanks all, it seems like my concerns about the 109s weren't as justified as I thought and I should probably try to pick up the used pair for sale in my neighborhood and go from there. Any other thoughts on the speed limit of the 109s are welcome.

I'm not the right one to talk about absolute speed limit, but the bmt109s are plenty stable at the speeds I ski, and they want to go fast. They are the dampest, most stable 1700g ski I have ever been on.

Too bad this group of skis isn’t still being built. I’m stoked to get out on new to me 94’s here soon.

Oh, I think that they are - all the various v werks skis (sans the discontinued bmt94 and 122) are at least still offered over here in Euroland. I think their pricing and limited number of units sold that made the US distributor discontinue selling them, not that Völkl stopped making them. Or it could be that the remaining stock is being sold over here - I do not really know.

Also, ON3P BG110 tour is also a similarly awesome soft snow ski.

[Norseman]

Yep, I replaced my 109s with BG108t and think they're better in every way. IMHO.

But the 94s are keepers till death.

[riff]

Understood- I reckon when my Lithics in this quiver spot die I’ll be gettin some BGT118’s

I snagged mf353’s 178 vwerks Mantras. I’m 5’10”, 185, tech bindings, 1100gr boots and will probably carry a fairly heavy pack at some time while using them. Any suggestions on mount point? I’ll look at specs but i seem to recall that they are a fairly traditional mount, and maybe i can move forward a bit.

you could realistically mount them a bit forward without running afoul of the sidecut, but you would also move closer to and generate more pressure on the flex zone in front of the bindings.

I've found that the flex point is noticable - not as in the current Atris where you feel like there are different hinge points or flex zones in the ski, but as in pressuring the front on harder snow can cause the front to lift. It is no biggie - especially in lighter soft snow, but I do prefer BMT90s slightly stiffer shovels, even if the MVWs' construction is even more potent overall.

so I would personally just mount them on the line - they ski very well there imho. The tails are super duper nice in soft snow imho. Man, now I've made me want another pair

[riff]

Excellent- sounds good and thanks!

IMO, the M6 is more on-piste oriented. Really fun and a bit more energetic than one might expect from a current Volkl. The updated M102 was made a bit more user friendly than the first version but is still a great all mountain ski. It has some of the on piste chops of the M6, but feels a bit more stable at speed (at least to me) and does a bit better in deeper, denser snow.

[Djongo Unchained]

Actually, he's one of the instigators for my getting those M102's last fall. Which I got via a form deal from my bro mag.


I've been on both and prefer the 102 but really liked the 96. If el nono 23/24 is a weak season for us, I'd be down for the skinny skis.

I will take any and all STH1's, looks like a few of those in there.

[byates1]

I could prob have them boxed up and sent. I'll ask. We've discussed me getting all the skis flat. I only have so much room in the van.

Deal if they're on skis I'm buying. I'm a pivot man myself.

[SnakeMagnet]

i'll be driving around w these next year

Oh man, I want those dragon 184's, so bad right now. Those things look nearly untouched..

[Eluder]

yo

Hmmm. You should PM a price on the two shortys in the middle.

[byates1]

There are 2/3 pair undrilled. Another couple pair drilled never skied. Most all skis pictured are unskied.will be located in Syracuse NY.

[byates1]

I'll get a gear swap post going based on this interest. Dude does not want.to ship. I'm picking.them up mid December. I will ship it deliver. He's giving me a couple pair for my effort.

DJ, will pm or text about clamps

[Fred Pabst]

That is some quality hoarding right there! Do I spy two pairs of Katana's in a longish length still in plastic? IMO that last run of the mostly all green katana was one of the best looking skis ever.

[BC.]

Damn…I’m near Syracuse (somewhat)….I’ll take Dragons….(been hunting for them for years)

[byates1]

Yeah if anyone is.near the cuse can arrange pick-up
