    That new Protest looks fantastic. I'm going to make a point of skiing mine more in inappropriate conditions this year. Like anything over two inches.

    Hope to be around here again many time with the new skis this season.
    Could you please, kind sir, post a pic of them flat on a counter for the new rocker profile ?

    Yup, I have a pair of custom RX's that I love. Really enjoyed the process w/ Keith and think he pretty much nailed it. Added more tip rocker, less tail rocker, and I have myself a nice fat charger pow ski I can drive the tips in pow like I wanted.

    I also have a pair of BC's that are great as well taht I picked up used here. Haven't been touring as much w/ kids, but no complaints on them.

    All Praxis are pretty dang bomber too!
    He who has the most fun wins!

    Anyone skied the new 94 MVP? Looking for something frontside oriented and would love to support the brand.

    For frontside skis, the SND is awesome. I got what I think was the first pair ever, still ski them. Got him to make me another pair two seasons ago with an amazing wood topsheet because I figured the old ones had hundreds of days on them and new ones would be fresher. Reality is old ones still have plenty of pop.

    True story: I was riding the lift with Keith and told him I loved his skis but really needed a frontside ski in the low-to-mid 80's underfoot. A few months later I ride the lift with him again and he says "hey, I've got your skis in my van." I'm like, "what skis?" "The ones you asked me to make."

    In any case, if you're ever really in this situation make sure you at least bargain in a couple of fluffers.

    I was down at the factory in Incline picking up some FRS's I ordered in 2022 but couldn't pickup until now and Keith was saying he was going to start stocking more bindings etc. Looks like the website has been updated and he has a lot of Pivots in stock including 2.0s in 15 and 18. Just a heads up in case anyone is looking and wants to help out!

    I probably know the answer before asking, but did he happen to mention where he was in production this fall? I'm desperately waiting to hear from him regarding my fresh set of protests. I was late enough that he had sold out of the first run but placed an order anyways. He sent me an email saying he'd being doing another run but didn't specify a timeline.

    Anyone have any thoughts on a BC resort setup for a teen on the small side? There's a discount pair and my 14 yo. is in need of something new. They are light, and soft, but I'm thinking he could get several seasons out of them.

    I have some lightly used, custom Cherry Grain graphic (standard nylon) 13/14 193 MVP @ 110mm underfoot in very good shape available if you're interested

    Flex is a 3+, which is slightly softer than the stock flex. Drilled once for pivot 301 bsl @ -1 from the dot

    I tried my best. Freshly unwrapped protest 192s. Keith was nice enough to swap them to the Jedi Mind Stick graphic w/ the poplar veneer.

    As long as I have the attention of the acolytes in the room.... Recommendations on mount point? Is moving back still how these things come alive? I seem to remember -1.5 being the play. Input welcome.
