Another boulder recycler psa… DPS wailer 112 AT

Interesting, I’ll dig in on the Fischer. I was also thinking some on a shorter (say 174) Skittab Neve 93. And keep things light with some Trofeos - fully Italian! But the Neves are spendy.
fun stuff to ponder!

Colorado lowest snowpack season-to-date in recorded history. Picked the wrong year to stop sniffing glue.
^^^ But pics like above do give some sense of hope - it will snow again!...

Jeez, and they're heavier too vs the older CD104Ls right? I'm glad I managed to hoard two pairs of the older. If starting a quiver from scratch I was thinking I'd go CD104 for resort DD and the "L" for BC DD. But now...
Obviously they're primary market is over there in Yrup and they...

^^^ Good insight, thx Kam. I'm in the older wider M RS's unfortunately. I always liked the F1 XT, but too narrow I think. Hmmm... maybe I just stick with my midweight skis as my bc do-everythings. But getting harder to keep up with my younger brother!...

Piling another question on here... I'm thinking of adding a skinny/lightweight (80-90mm, 1100-1250 gr) ski back into the quiver for late spring, long distance, low tide days. But because of finicky feet, I'm going to stick to my trusty Maestrale RS's as my only boots.

Circa 2017, DPS wailer 112 RPC 2.0 192cm with g3 ion binders, $340. Used for sure but no obvious damage....

This whole dry January thing is bullshit - what’s with the hype?!

[tang]

Is there any decent terrain (trees, steeps, moguls) open anywhere in the state? Or just manmade groomer bullshit. Guessing not but triple checking. I am so depressed....

[tang]

^^^ ha! re-reading, yes I'd prob think the same. everything is polarizing these days - I'm sure some sub-set of the world is anti-neptune mountaineering!...

According to blister review, it changed in 2021-22… widened from 96 to 99 and adding more rocker. Hadn’t changed since. High chance it changes next year though, mirroring the new hotshot (ie a lot lighter, boo!)

I think these are Praxis Protests (not Powderboards), used. Look to be 190+. Mounted with dynafits and come with some skins. $415
[title edited to clarify that PRAXIS Protests, not an angry mob protest!]...

Yeah I’d second those masterblasters that marshal has in his outlet. Fun versatile ski...

Pay these people! The only thing Chuck seems good at is making Vail look comparatively good - which is the equivalent of defying gravity....
