Managed this on the R ten five in Sweden yesterday. Coverage is fucked.

Ouch! Could you feel a little piece of your soul being gouged out when it happened?

[arild]

Nah. Tis but a scratch!

And speaking of.. anyone else try first supergluing, then dripping p-tex while the glue is wet? Super fucking fun, also pretty unbeatable bond.

I got used to having local shops. Then I moved far away. So I bought a base welder. Money well spent. A welder and metal scraper can fix a lot.

[Doremite]

I gauged my base today, experienced flap drag, ripped the base piece off, pocketed it, melted it back in with an iron and wax. Bound to fail??

Shit buffs out, Arild, shit buffs out.

Ech, not pretty, but should be fairly solid.

Not necessarily. Did you use any sort of degreaser and bonding agent?

Rs aka Slayers

Second day of the season on these.

Season is fucked. Rained up to 1500m yesterday, rotten, hollow and shallow snowpack. Crust on top.

Wanted to take the dog for a walk, and enjoy todays nice weather.

Since the riding was going to be awful I brought the Slayers with CAST to at least have a solid setup for the conditions.

All that to say that the Slayers made it tolerable, bordeline enjoyable. Everyone else I met was struggling on lightweight gear.

Previous ski in this role was Wren 108, the Slayers are so far better in every respect - probably except float

[banzai]

I've got 185 FL105s v.1 and 184 Wren108s. Wrens float better indeed, but are much less composed around spicy icy stuff. I keep both in the quiver.
Wrens as a pow on questionable sharky base skis. They are so tough and have annihilated so many rocks by now, that I refuse to call them rock skis out of respect.
FL105s are sublime in variable stuff, windbuff to ice to crust and back, but you dont get to relax. Gotta commit or the tails will sure let you know yo momma didnt raise no quitter.

[gaijin]

My mom signs her email— Yo Momma.

So I’m assured this ski is for me.

R105s are rad, I've never seen a 105mm underfoot ski perform as well in deep cold snow, warming solar effect, crud, chop, and good sized cliffs with ugly run outs all on the same day. I find myself grabbing these more and more as the season goes on, super impressed with them.

This!!

I’ve basically only skied my R105 and SE116 this year. As long as it’s decent visibility, this ski does it all. It’s just so good!!

[hnnnng]

Just dropping in to say the FL116 (SE) is complete madness. Been having a lowkey year due to surgery but got my innagural day on these this week in some nice pnw fresh and they made me temporarily forget I have the flu and a massive calf injury. I can't imagine a better ski for our terrain and heavy snow. Big fast drifts? Easy. Straightline mow down avy debries like it isn't there? Yep. Drag a hip carving up heavy chop? Why not. Just damp damp (DAMP). I'm a terminal beginner snowboard crossover and these are by no stretch terribly demanding. Forward, back, centered, fast, slow, sideways, whatever, it all works, just superbly intuitive skis. Perfect deep day counterpart to the woods 100 I ride most of the time. Can't get enough, well done MO.

I didn't see a thread for the 116 so I'll put a pic of these with some 105s so it counts here?

just out of curiosity, what 105 waisted ski would you say is the closest?

Unfortunatly there are not any comparisons that immediatly come to mind - when folks have asked me about them of late I have described them as 105 underfoot legend pro with long low full rocker</p>
<p>
I cannot emphasize enough how comfortable they are in the air as well:</p>
