12/13 Icelantic Seeker 190cm
138-112-123, 32m radius
This ski seems to have flown under the radar a bit, but it's a real big-boy ski. Nothing like anything else that Icelantic has ever built. The Rossi RC112 was the inspiration for this ski. It is stiff, straight, and burly. 40cm of tip rocker, medium/stiff flex in the rockered section, flat tail, and very stiff through the rest of the ski. Think RC112/LP/BSquad/etc. stiff. It charges.
I skied these less than 10 days. They are too manly for me. I can ski them, but at 140lbs, they are too much work for them to be much fun for me. Mounted twice: once for Bomber Bishop tele at -2cm for a 26.0 Scarpa (plugged) and once for Salomon STH Driver on the line for 296 BSL. Other than the holes, they are pretty pristine. A couple minor cosmetic topsheet chips (one repaired with epoxy) and a couple minor base scratches. No coreshots or other significant topsheet or base damage.

09/10 Blizzard Answer 184cm
135-110-125, 28m radius
Blizzard marketed this as a “backcountry freestyle” ski, but it's not. It is more or less the predecessor to the Cochise; it's a directional charger with a slightly forgiving flex in tip and tail. Pretty stout underfoot. Two sheets of metal. Flat underfoot, very subtle tip and tail rocker. Skis more like a flat camber ski than a rockered ski. Less rocker, but softer than a Cochise with an overall similar feel.
Probably 50-70 days of use. Lots of topsheet chipping, repaired with epoxy. Worst chip is shown in detail photo below. One ski has two coreshots, the other ski has one, all are professionally repaired and difficult to see. I recently had the skis fully base ground and tuned, only a couple days on them since, so the bases are flat, have a nice pattern, and show only minor scratching. Edges are in good shape.
These used the IQ Max slider system for mounting. Two sets of plates are included. One has been mounted 1.5 times for Salomon STH Driver (one toe mount, two heel mounts) for 296mm and ~305mm BSL. The other plate was mounted once for Bomber Bishop tele, then flipped around backwards and mounted again for 22 Designs Axl/Vice tele. Should be plenty of room for more holes in each plate.

11/12 Rossignol Soul7 (raceroom/team edition Squad7) 190cm
145-120-126, 30m radius
This ski is a limited edition, pre-production version of the Squad7. Same dimensions, same flex, just built in the race factory in France rather than the production factory in Spain (better construction quality). If I remember correctly, there are less than 50 pairs of these in North America.
Mounted twice, once for Salomon Guardian small at -2cm and once for 22 Designs Axl/Vice at -4cm. Binding Freedom inserts are installed for both mounts. The “recommended” line is at 875mm from the tail (straight tape). I have no idea how this compares to a production Squad7, but I do know that most people were mounting these at -2. I would recommend re-using the inserts, and I personally would not be afraid of putting a larger boot in the Guardians. I personally would not mind a more aft mount.
Overall good shape, about 15 days use. One ski has two coreshots, repaired at home with ptex gun. One is tiny and near edge, the other is about 4” x 1/8” and in center of ski. Otherwise, minimal edge and base damage, a few very minor topsheet chips.
I don't have to sell these, so no lowballs.
