Appreciate it. Do we have stickers?? Handshakes?

Just stay away from Joey- he’s an enabler.

Props to S.B. for grabbing me some Orbs at the swap. However, got to say that I’m extremely underwhelmed w the shaping of the Orb (91 waist variant) the rest of the line seems purposefully built & this one is meh.

Every murder needs a hypeman.

Just a nod in the lift line and maybe a few beers in the parking lot.....no stickers or other identifiers needed other than what is clamped to your feet.

Hypeman is a great position! Skis shipped today as well so that’s exciting

So what year and size did you get? You're going to be happy.

2022, last years model and size 183. i do like a little more playful and while i understand this isn't a super playful ski i went a size down, very anti TGR, i am aware.

The anima always struck me as a comparable to the wildcat, does anyone have experience to A/B between the two? Other than the obvious turning radii difference.

The corvus was always a ski I've been trying to figure a spot for in the quiver, but when I got a hold of a pair the edges looked absurdly thin, like ski-mo thin and that put me off. With my reputation and the local terrain am i justified in my concerns about durability or are they lasting for people, especially for the premium price?

How tall are you? I have the 175 cambered version and it is one of my all time favorites. I went to the 183 in last years model as well for this year. Im almost 5-7 180 lbs and I think Im going to be all set going bigger to 183. I also have last years atris in 178 new for this year.

I’m 5’11” 190 and I was skiing the 183. I sold it and bought the 188. That was a mistake. I’m a strong skier and they are a little more then needed sometimes in tight terrain. That’s were the 183 was great. It loves tight chutes and woods and then also ripping anything. I would take a 183 back in a heartbeat. It’s like the B97, one of those skis that a little shorter is sometimes the ticket.

I haven’t had any durability issues and I have definitely hit shit hard enough to know it should be bad and it’s barely a scuff. The edges are fairly hard as well.

I’m 5’11”, about 185 so very close to Joey but I’d consider myself high end average?? Most blacks no issue. So I’m thinking he is better then I. I do tend to enjoy a shorter ski, had 189 atris and I really didn’t get along with them at all. Mind you I spent limited time on them but I found my days on them not great and sold to a buddy.

I just felt the 183 may be more versatile then the 189

For my height/weight Im banking on the non cambered Corvus to less of a handful than the cambered. Although Im still looking for the 16-17 cambered in 183.

Y'all are some skinny motherfuckers.

[halliday]

Im under 5-7 and 180#. Who you calling a skinny motherfucker?

Ya. I’m fat as shit. And a bad influence.

Skis were dropped off yesterday. Even nicer in person. I really do like the chevrons but this design is solid as well.

hm, that is quite the steal - I would probably not be able to resist buying them at that price Good thing I am not over yonder eh.

I see that they also have DPS's take on an Anima / Wildcat like ski, the original Koala119 in 184 and 179. So saddle up and get ready to charge, because they sure as hell can

Yeah, the Koala 119 seems to be intruiging Brutes, a tad wide for my liking, but would be eager to try them. Conrad have the 189 on sale, atleast for Yurpians.

yeah, I managed to find a pair of 184s this summer after I sold my first pair a year ago. I have a hard time understanding just how stiff the 189s must be though, my 184s are stiiiiiff, so at 15% stiffer the 189s must be positively chargy.

It would be very, very interesting to try the current Anima, Moment Wildcat and both versions of the Koala 118/119 back to back

I shouldn't have seen that...

I am really doing my best not to buy those.

[SoVT Joey]

Those noctas are a blast. I love my 190. Skis awesome in fresh untracked. Doesn’t love chop but if you can ski active it does. Probably one of my favorite skis of all time. I have a Duke Pt 16 on them and they tour great as well. Hope that helps keep you from buying them.

[gaijin]

Have a bro trying to increase sales of black crows in Japan.

Any advice?

Seems like an under-appreciated brand over here.

Well, everything seems to be under-appreciated.
