All my skis are old. Even the new ones... and I finally had a bit of a get together.

Today:
Sweet Elan 188s... (found by the dumpster... not in I swear)
This Fall:
Kastle BMX...

Beers and skiing can be dangerous...
a 24 in the pack can do a number on your back...
Its better to stick with a flask of whisky. and only 3-4 beers.

I understand the slagging large manufacturers, and I am not a fan of the old OG S7 or the new "S" series... they do what they promise well, yet there is a certain something missing. Maybe it is...

Touched and flexed an unmounted pair today. I was expecting them to be beefy and yup.
I guess if you are concerned about swing weight then look elsewhere... I'm pretty stoked to try a pair whenever...

Saw a pair in the lift line in Whistler... Looked to be a fun playful shape. They definitely look to be a more dual directional style than the souls and sky and super... I guess there is not much...

If the question is in tech talk its always a gear issue.
Spending time and money acquiring gear is not only the most important part of improving your skiing... It is the single most important of...

Forgive me for gloating but look what I picked up today... They were advertised as "Free Skis"

Oh... and are explosives still popular? Who else will be riding a pair this year?

I think a 173 bonafide is a little undersized for you. Probably preferable due to improved agility, many intermediate skiers think they prefer a shorter ski... and while it is personal preference I...

I believe the new and current lenz socks have a toe-cap heating element that surrounds the toes entirely. I haven't seen or felt them. The shop I work at only has the older year's model with the...

Atomic Ritual ?
I don't see it getting much love around here, but I liked it quite a bit when I tried it. At mach looney it is not the most damp, but I think it strikes a good balance for a poppy...

There is no replacement for an Explosive or OG Legend Pro. Yet this year Dynastar did re-release the 105 width version. I never did try that one, but if a 192 works for you then maybe check them...

Good for Abma. I like that Black Crows offers a 193 in a waist width I would ski daily.

Still got em?

I would tend to agreed with Mr. Lindahl. I have only skied the carbon katana 191... and compared the good ol' metal layup it is a totally different ski. Perhaps I was expecting too much
I it was...

Boxing Day at North Shore Ski and Board, North Vancouver. nssb.ca for directions 604-987-7245
Yes this is SPAM but I figured I'd let you maggots know that we are doing 50% off on all Kastle,...

If your curious about 195 Motherships North Shore Ski and Board has some I think for $400.

Lots of Options are out there...
181 ON3P Wrenegade is a good one
182 Atomic Ritual 103 underfoot, metal spine for dampness
183 Volkl Katana
183 Faction 3.Zero
181 Surface Live Life
181 K2 Side...

LT... if you won't say it I will. Fischers Suck! maybe not all of them , and they can make a good product... but they are way behind the times as far as ski shaping goes. No rocker in 2010/2011...

The gotta go through a dealer bit has already been stated... but more importantly than that... just go to a decent ski shop and they will have you back on the hill in a couple hours. Mntlion is...

Those impacts are race boots in the same way that your civic "type R" is a race car... so, not...
But they are good boots... if i remember correctly they have a removable "spoiler" which is just a...

Can't comment on the 105... but I hated my big dumps on the line... they were a tiny bit better with a 5 mm riser under the toe and they are a whole world better at - 1.5 still with the toe riser. I...

I would agree... I think the differences would be noticeable but subtle, and I wouldn't imagine Atomic will be keeping both in their line up for long.

They feel very similar. The Automatic just feels a little narrower, which I think is good... I always thought the Atlas shouldn't have gone a full 10mm wider underfoot for the 192 vs. the 182. Also...

RIP i think you nailed it... and i think TurboLT was just having an issue with with regards to LOFT. Has anybody else had an issue with LOFT on a ski?

Supermario... if your 5'7" and mostly muscle at 190 lbs, and if you are the hard charging style of skier that comes from a race or competition background then you MIGHT prefer the 193... for 99% of...

Sorry.... I am fighting with my boss about this issue... NOTHING on our website can be trusted... we are not a web based store, but this season the boss has tried to do it with very little success. ...

Just got these in at North Shore Ski and Board...
Part spam I know, but also part PSA because these skis are the tits!
Skied them in a 193 on the demo day... and well... they get the job done.

I think you should just give the boots back and stop wasting your time. You don't need a money back guarantee when they are free. Sure they were free, but now those boots owe you all the time and...

The tail of the Cham 107 feels like a flat tail ski, and even with its taper it is super sturdy, it is easier to break free, but not by much... however I only spent 2 runs on them and it was pretty...

The Whistler Blackcomb App does not indicate accurate speed... what I'd like to know is if it is at least consistent in its over estimation of your speed.
Apparently I hit 174 km/h on Saturday and...

I had mine on the line... Hated them, the stiff tails destroyed me and sent me over the tips at least once, and the didn't float, at least not if I leaned forward to charge on them. I added a 5 mm...

There is no doubt that C&Ds are hard work in the trees, but they smear and slide so well plus they are stiff so that you can ski the tight trees at higher speed than say a Hell Bent... or an XXL, in...

Just came back from two days at whistler testing skis. What length are you looking for? I would be considering the Atomic Automatic or the Faction 3.Zero, but there are definitely lots of options,...

So Dave, How much were you looking to get out of one of those buffers?

Crowded runs... pssshaawwww! Them just be moving gates, and you get to pick your own course.

Just shove anything in there that will stay... I'd use Co-poly in the future over Ptex because its softer and doesn't flake as much (more rubbery)... but anything from metal washers, and pennys, to...

Stay away from the Lord... it is a weak ski, with no rocker even though it claims "rocker 210"... look at the side profile and depress the camber, there is no rocker at all. The Kendo, the Mantra...

I was waiting to see if anybody else thought throwing a Z-toe Sally on a Billy goat was a little sacrilegious. Next to free or not I'd spend the extra $20 for a driver toe. But damn they look good...

North Shore Ski and Board in North Vancouver sells them and does them.
I think it sounds a little pricey at $150 all in installed. But if you are paying $60 shipped to your door for the quiver...

Chrispmoto, how come you ended up mounting them forward 1.5cm???
How big are you? and your boots?... remount them man, drop them back at least 2cm to -.5 but I'd say go with the bsl minus 292mm...

Has anybody here heard of Orogeny skis?
A pair came into our shop in Vancouver last year they owner was
some Alaskan that had a buddy starting to make skis. They were
actually really nicely...

So... Meatspicy, no more replies?
"i demoed a pair of mx108s in jackson last year. skied them in 4-6" of tracked/crud. they were alright. i didnt get the hype. I'd take my katanas over them any...

Just had my first day on these after remounting them 1.5 cms back with a 308mm shell. I left the toe riser plates (large and small) that came with my look pivots, but the bindings are PX18s, because...

Hey Crampedon, I like the sound of what your proposing but tomorrow i'm having brunch with the family... if you get this message PM me your phone number and we'll meet up for a run or so...

Wow, I don't know know about that kinda gnar, its one thing for the superheros who get paid to ski... but if your doing that just for jollys, I don't know whether to be impressed by your balls or...

Hmmm I guess this doesn't include the new version of the PW? PW 2 Maybe?
I don't remember a name for it, but I think it has two densities of foam or something. I was told it was designed to be...

I agree that timed is the only way to do it. Taking as many attempts as needed to bag a fast time. Also... it appears like we are going to have a bit of a dry spell so now's not a bad time to rip...

So Dexter you down?
Anybody have any suggestions for Whistler Blackcomb other than full top to bottom or Spanky's to the Bench...

I know this outlaw racing isn't going to catch on with the cool...

Thank you for the Hot Dog Chinese Downhill Clip... the glory days of skiing...
I understand the stigma racing has. I hate FIS and the racer culture, and all the rules and politics and bull crap. ...

Okay sure... I @#$%^ed up the Title on the thread with some disgusting grammer... Would would want to race? or how about Who wants to race?... i guess combining the two doesn't work.
I guess this...
