Right, and that’s the reason to go low/no/reverse camber. There might be some personal preferences against that which is fine. But in general, a no/reverse is better in variable snow.

The “guide” carbon looks cool at first. But, I still can’t understand why 109 waist touring skis are getting 5mm of camber underfoot in 2024..

Thanks, that’s kind of the sweet spot IMO. But since manufacturers regularly under all their weights I don’t want to be surprised with a 1950g ski..

Wild Snow from a few years ago says 1600, and...

Anyone have actual measured weights for the newer Ravens? It seems like when they came out the weights were listed as in the 1600s, now its 1830/1890 in the 184/190 lengths..

I use a drill press for this, manually spinning the chuck, and applying axial force with the press function.. Works pretty great.

Thanks! I knew I saw something like this a while back and couldn't find it. Might get some Plum Guide toes off SkiMoCO and make a franken setup..
I love the MTN, just want a lil more juice for a...

Curious what the toes weigh?

So, I've been a devotee of the Salomon MTN since it came out. I ski pretty hard with the toes unlocked 99% of the time, only locking out when a fall would mean death.. I had one pre-release on them...

Sorry those didn’t work out for you.. I ended up getting a pair of the Pro Tour DD 12 for overnights (otherwise using GFTs usually). I found them to require much more aggressive molding (buckling...

Someone buy those VTAs. They’re an awesome, totally under the radar touring ski

I would go with the Volkl blaze 94 or rise 96. I have the rise 98s, and they are forgiving and very fun. Of course, if you can find BMTs, then there you go. But, the other two are attainable.

I’m not a tech guy. But I was having issues with streaming, video conferencing, etc. got this bad boy and everything has been super smooth.

I have some 18s I could probably part ways with. Brakes are home bent 120s though..

Hey All,
I am headed to Valdez for my AMGA Advanced Ski/Aspirant Exam happening late April. I had scheduled a trip with a buddy 4/7-4/13 to warm up, and get some skiing off T Pass before then. He...

Just added pics. It’s blue. I am in Western Wyoming. Will be in Jackson next week sporadically..

Hi all,

Used this for two tours. Great pack, but I don’t...

I snagged em. Thanks for the post!

If anyone happens to have either of these, I’m looking..

Reverse is pretty awesome.. If these were a touch lighter I’d want exactly this ski.

Approximate weight on woots?

Warm up the trouble spots and move the cork around to make room. You can use your thumb or the handle of a screwdriver.

I had similar issues and they resolved after this + 10 days of use.

Got a couple days in on my new Strive 14s. No AFD issues. The step in is very solid and re-assuring. I did perceive some slight up/down movement on one heel. I moved the heel a hair forward and this...

All of my concerns confirmed. Thanks.

It’s weird, that step is supposed to be in contact per the mount instructions (below). But it sucks it’s eating your boot. I had a pair of Full Tilts that would get eaten by my Pivots back in the...

Hmmm.... That's weird. Just got a pair to mount on some new DPS Koalas.. Did you find a fix?

Damn, I came here hoping to find more reviews on these sticks, and the last post is from me... Anyone have some time on these?

Gotcha. I checked - they are not on the naughty list for the recall, in case anyone is wondering..

Title says it all.. Looking to grab a pair of 28/28.5 T1s or similar duck bill boot.

Hopefully not too expensive. I’m not trying to free my heels for life, drop 5grams, vision quest, and quit my...

Thanks for the PMs everyone. 27s are spoken for. Lots of messages on the 28s. I will bump if somehow they all fall through.

Selling some Tour Wrap Dual Density liners.

The 28s have been molded at relatively low heat once. I’ve since skied 5 days on them.

The 27/27.5s are unmolded. Haven’t taken the tags off.

This is good advice. Dry tooling is on the opposite end of the spectrum from ski mountaineering/general mountaineering when it comes to tool choice.

Quarks are a really good one tool quiver for...

Not yet! We have some snow here in Wyoming. But, I'm always a little hesitant early season to either shred my new skis, or shred myself. Ullr willing, I'll have some time on them in the next month...

Not sure if they’re mentioned up thread, but I just got my C105s from Marshal/Heritage Labs. I haven’t skied them yet. But, the rocker lines are awesome. There is a nice flat spot under-foot that...

It’s basically the same lower as the RS/F1. Plenty of plastic there - thicker than the zero gs for sure.

Try an upsized Alien 1.0. They have more volume than you may think.

I would go with comfort >> ROM/weight, knowing you are making a trade off.
Definitely recommend doing a really long day on...

Bump for one of my favorite skis. Volkl touring skis just don't get much love, but they are awesome.

I’m in if BS420 backs out
