WTB: Ski for Alaska heliski trip

[Dexter Rutecki]

I'm 6'0" and 190lbs, 316BSL. Booked a last minute trip to AK and wanted to see if anyone has a silly powder ski for sale.

Where are you? When are you going?

[NW_SKIER]

Rider states he is 6' 190lbs. Posters are offering up 180cm skis. What happened to this place? The man needs 190s or longer, not kids skis.

[Doremite]

I can’t remember the username but someone on here has been trying to sell one Liberty Genomes. That is what you want.
I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of heli runs in AK. And I have Genomes.

twoturn is the seller I believe.

AK heli skiing, 203 Shiro would be more like it.

Go to heritage lab’s outlet on the website and order either the blem fl113 or the FR132. Done

I have same 2013 Katana 184, 305mm BSL Pivot 18GW (Raw) that I could easily part with - fresh tune. Am EC so an extra day or two getting to you. Flat or with Pivots. $200 flat, $350 with P18's. Buyer pays ship.

See my post above. Those 200cm Lotus are waiting for a new home and a trip to AK.

[ASmileyFace]

I've got a pair of new DPS Lotus 138 hybrid rocker 3.2 192s I've been hoarding.

Decided I should probably let them go. Have new orange FKS 18's to go with them.

I'm into them $550 and would like to get that out of them for both skis and bindings together.

There are a lot of good options in this thread, some terrible offers, and this.

Curious to hear what OP picks after all.

When are you going? I'll be up there starting the 17th for a week. I have a few options: 203 shiros (that I'd let you borrow, probably not buy), 196 Fischer ranger FR 116s (118mm underfoot), some beat 193 gunsmokes.

If you're skiing something gnarly enough in that time period, I'd also potentially let you use some 192 mpro 108s, though probably not gripwalk comparable.

Not sure if they even fit for AK heli trip since I've never been there, but I got a minty '23 Line Pescado with Duke PT 16 mounted on the recommended line for 312mm BSL.

If op passes on that UTpowder offer I’ll take the whole set up.

I’m heading to Haines in 2 weeks. 196 and 186 OG HALS construction 4frnt renegades will be in the bag. I’ve got an absurd collection of big mountain powder skis, and no others even came close to making the cut.

If you’ve got the balance for these, there’s nothing better. One word, acceleration

[Get.Kronk]

189 Armada Bubbas with STH 13s on the line for 327, great shape. Would be great drifting in the wide open, not sure I’d want them if you’re gonna ski anything techy

[soggysandwiches]

I’ve got a pair of the OG 2012-13 Squad 7s, 190cm 120 waist. They’re mounted with tyrolia attack 13s (non-GW version) for 317 bsl. Perfect heli trip ski. I live on the east coast and don’t use em enough to justify keeping a pair of alpine sole boots around just for these when my other skis are all GW. They are on their third mount and because whatever idiot mounted them before me put some pivots on at different mount points they won’t be compatible with any remount, so you gotta like em as is.
