2016/2017 - ON3P SKIS Thread (Finally)
The more I think of it, I felt what I described above mainly when skiing heavenly, my home mountain, where I get most of my days in.. There are only a few spots with decent fall line, and the BG just needs speed. I do have one day at kirkwood, and vaguely remember them being much floatier with the fall line. But 10 days with them at Heavenly, which just isn't the BGs cup of tea, is the majority of my memory.
What I should have said, is that there are floatier skis for skiing at moderate speeds, in very deep untracked, on a moderate pitch... Heavenly sucks, thank god I got my squaw pass this year.
Still, the 193 C&D will be a nice addition for uber deep days.

Hands down the most durable skis I've been on. I've had 4 pairs and yet to have a single core shot, whereas Squaw / Alpine have done a number on various Blizzards, Volkls, Salomons, etc that I've skied.
Happy to pay a little more knowing the odds of paying for repair work and stone grinds goes way down.

I blasted a shark on my steeple 112s last year, and flew out of my bindings. I was positive there would be a core shot, but when I looked there was nothing.. Also my 2014 Viciks have over 40 days on them, and they look like my brand new k2s that haven't been skied yet, but have just been bumped around in storage.. Tiny base scratches, and tiny top sheet scuffs.
However, I wish On3p would put those cool textured top sheets on all their skis, but that is the last thing on my mind when buying a ski. They have done limited runs of this, I hope it becomes standard in the near future.
