    Ski to replace BD Zealot?

    Any former Zealot owners found a ski they like as much? My fourth and final pair is pretty clapped out, but every time I ski something else and get back on the Zealots, it is like coming home.

    Looking for the elusive surfy charger, heavy, damp, one to two layers of metal, 106-110mm waist for my resort daily driver.

          I had a pair of green Zealots that I loved, and a different pair that I hated. BD quality control was marginal.

          For a stiff, crush everything but still be turnable ski (ie not an Igneous FFF or 193 Head m103 ), I really like the Head A-Star. It's 187cm only, and a little wider than your daily driver specs, but it's amazing. If you can find a pair, they're probably going to be pretty cheap.

            Not mine but here you go.
            If you can get a hold of him I can help get shipping facilitated.

            If ski companies didn't make new skis every year I wouldn't have to get new skis every year.

              Thanks Fat Yeti! I just messaged seller. If he refuses to ship, I will definitely be begging you for shipping help.

                Here's a pair BNIP. I'm not in SLC but sounds like fat yeti is willing to help out.

                    Thanks snowaddict! Those new Zealots are all I want for Christmas. Just msg'd the seller.

                    Please keep any Zealot sightings coming, I would stock up on more than one pair if I can.

                      VTJoey is selling a pair of OG 196 Corvus. Might be your huckleberry

                        Moment Countach 110, Volkl Revolt 114, Nordica Enforcer Free 110. Obviously none will be the same, but these will probably be the closest I can think of.

                          Thanks to Snowaddict91, a pair of BNIP Zealots arrived at my doorstep today! Fat Yeti, thanks for your kind offer, but the seller was willing to ship.

                          Now, I can go a couple more years without trying a bunch of skis that pale in comparison to Zealots.
