New wide skis for someone who doesn't get modern skis

[whyturn]

Maybe try mass production easy ski like a mindbender 108 ti.

Update: I just picked up a deal on a new pair of this season's M-Pro 108 and pivots. Big extra discount for Black Friday, time limited so I needed to make a decision. Good enough price that it is worth taking a small risk on them - and a long returns period so I should be able have a chance to borrow/hire a pair to try before I drill them (and return if I can't get on with them). Hedging my bets a little.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

Curious to see what you think. That ski doesn't get much press.

That's the one! I think it was the Pic Blanc du Galibier, otherwise somewhere very near there. The peak in your second pic is the Grand Galibier. Strong mullet game in those days, I had Telepath to thank for that one. Still makes me sad that he's gone, it always felt like he was one of those guys I'd always be able to pick things up with.

Wow, I had no idea that he passed away. I just went searching and found the thread from 2017. That's really terrible.

That was a strong mullet, one of the finest I've encountered. Enjoy the new skis and bring it back for the winter!

I’ll second the ON3P Wrenegade Pro 110.

Skis like a stiff, stable, old school charger with a big radius. This has been my go-to ski for the last few years and use it more often then anything else in the quiver. Great at blasting through crud and chop. Holds an edge well on groomers. Not the most float in pow, but will plane to the surface when you get up to speed. Only times it feels out of place is heavy wet mank in tight trees and it’s a lot of work in really tall moguls. Does well everywhere else.

Since some are recommending hard to find skis, OP if you can find a pair of 192 stockli stormrider TT110’s you won’t be disappointed. Long EE and they freakin rip.

This is one of the times that the obligatory Praxis RX answer to any tech talk ski question is actually the correct answer. So....

I heard today that they are bringing back a SR 110 for next season. As with all Stocklis, they will be pricey AF, but maybe worth it. I love, love my SR 105s. I’m just keeping them safe from early season conditions, while I enjoy the heck out of my new to me Corvus’s.

As for the OP, I think you made a good call with the M Pro 108. I haven’t skied them yet, but have had good times on the LP105. Sounds like the 108 respects the lineage. In the future, if you want something fatter, while not as old school on paper, I’m a fan of the 194 Animas. Like the Corvus, you can ski it old school, but it’s ready to slash if you want. You just need to upsize if you want that old school feel.
