The 6’2” dude in this 2022 vid skis the 176cm?

Looks like a really fun ski for in the resort, when conditions are not blower. And laying trenches in spring slush.

I gotta say, now that I’m in it to win it, there are so many skis available that most definitely shred easier and harder when conditions are not blower and/or laying trenches in Spring slush.

And I’m going to thrash on KC’s business model. Homie buys every ski he can get his hands on. Skis it. Then sells it.

It’s as if he has absolutely no idea what he wants or is unwilling to learn how a ski behaves.

But in the meantime— we should all be listening to his thoughts on why a BBR (I’m sorry— a Line Blade) in a 176 is the right ski for a 6’2” dude.

Regardless. Thanks for the cheap skis! And we all love the dialogue. But at some point you’re going to have to commit to something you like.

Gaijin…you grumpy? Or a dick? Hard to tell.

I know you just ski M102s and Rens. That’s great.

As I’ve told you before…it’s not a business model.

It’s a hobby.

Some people will read about a lot of skis.

I will ski a lot of skis.

I’m a drunk grumpy dick.

I apologize. Again.

When I’m typing it I think it’s funny. I’m like— No, that sarcasm will read through. They’ll get it.

What an asshole. I don’t why I get on TGR after a night of boozing.

I’m not hating on you. I’m envious of you.

Fuck me.

Hahaha. Good on ya Gaijin.

Just tell us you’re drunk and then all is forgiven.

When I get drunk I go to Corbett’s website. Then new skis show up a week later.

I’ll be posting my 9-ski quiver soon in Quiver Pics.
You can drunk rant again there.

Carry on.

I'm 100% in the market for a 176 Blade. Retail deals are looking like $500. I'm more in the $ 2-300 range depending on bindings and holes. I have small feet and a <300 BSL.

Anyone moving them?

Long time lurker here. Just dropping the sickest footie I've compiled over the last decade.

but really had to do some groomer turns for an AMGA ski course application. Fingers crossed to finally hit those black diamonds next wintah.

I've never been more amped to arc some spring slush groomers.

fyi yours truly was the camera person here (he needed specific groomer footage for his amga course, which he, incidentally does not have as much of)

There was some hiiigh speed snowplowing involved. I only got yelled at once

Just picked up some 176's for $449 cdn for a buddy. Why so cheap?

HaHa!

An obvious progenitor


"A quarter of a century ago Elan first sent its revolutionary skis to market. They were forty centimeters shorter than normal skis, much wider and had a pronounced sidecut. But their defining characteristic was the fact that they turned on their own. Elan’s new skis changed the sport forever. The SCX ski that opened the door to a completely new way of skiing, the technique now known as carving. These skis are perhaps the most revolutionary invention in the history of skiing. We can safely say that everybody who enjoys carving arc after perfect arc into the snow is in a way skiing on Elan skis."

Say what you want, I bet they will be a blast for hard pack days.

Exactly. I looked at these skis really hard last year and am convinced they are going to be great for 80% of the days we've been having over the last few years.

I know a rep, maybe I'll pull the trigger this year.
