If I go back with two skis, the Protests with CAST 2.0 will definitely come and then something between 100 and 110mm with a tech binding. Two skis would be a luxury, because I’m pretty sure I could go with just Bonafides and be just fine.

    Were you there doing the dry spell? Seems like my 189 billygoat might be perfect.

        Was at several different areas around Nagano for 8 days last month, knee deep minimum every day, often much much more. Had one day that was chin deep (5 or 6ft of snow overnight). OG Spurs, Protests, Spoons, Bonafides, Enforcers, Soul 7's, anything would have been great. For fun I even tried out my GF's 169 La Nina's and a pair of '19 Bent Chets 176 for half a day and it was awesome too. Snow was so soft and light, no way you could float on top. Seriously, I'd worry more about groomer and tight tree performance than powder.

          Well should have never doubted that soul7s crushed. After all they are known to be the pinnacle of ski design.

          Jokes aside - great beta

          Thanks

            I know, EVEN SOUL 7's probably would have been really great (never skied a pair but I'm guessing)

                      I did, thank you.
                      I knew if I reached out for quiver-enlargement-justification, you would be there for me.

                      I really wanted to buy these when they hit block last season (?) but didn't have the scratch.

                                First post, and I'm new to Praxis. Do Protests ski long or short? I don't hear anyone here talk about 177 Protests. Are they too short for most people? Me: 5'7" 170lbs and my "everyday skis" are 177mm Nordica Enforcers, and they are competent in most conditions. But the folks in this forum have me interested in getting a pair of the Protests as a complement. Would I be better off with the 187s? That seems to be the minimum length discussed in these threads.
