I’m skiing them out of wrapper (except for wax). Ran nicely. Had a gummy stone in my locker and didn’t use it. I almost high sided a couple times at first because the edges were sharp.Quote:

Hey Marshal - a friendly woman in mint green on some DPS was asking how I liked the skis. Said she had been speaking with you about them. So, some folks taking notice.

Few more half days on mine, on a bum knee. These things are pretty good as a recovery ski, unless you encounter ice chunks. Super easy to maneuver without putting undue pressure on the body.
Last few days have been on groomers. In the soft, they carve well for what they are. Less rebound than a cambered ski, but fun.
But what’s reaaaaally fun is rally-car’ing around on groomers. High speed slarves are the tits. I swear I was passing people straight-lining while I was sideways. So much fun.
While these are pretty heavy, I found they still like to pop over snow piles rather than plow through them. I like that in a ski.

Per USPS..."Dec. 28, 2023 moving through Network, in Transit to Next Facility"
Hopefully these are waiting in North Vancouver when we get home Jan 2 from Nelson. Slappin' bright red STH 16s on mine at +0.5cm.

Been hesitant to post further reviews as the snow has for the most part been absolute shit and I was having some boot problems earlier in the season.
I did manage to ski 10 turns of actual pow off the Ridge at Bridger last week. Stoked. I am still so in love with my FL113, but see these 110s as the ideal ski for slightly less snow or only a touch of fresh up high and soft/leftover more playful snow down lower. Has taken some time to unlock these more but the quick response pop on these is legit. Kinda like mountain biking with the right suspension setup in that you can make a split second choice to pull for a gap across moguls/rollers you didn't see before. Pretend you know what you are doing like Candide lol.
On firmer snow you can lay em over and set tracks and the ability to pop out of the exit of each turn is really fucking fun. I am going to force myself to take em out on a 3-6" day when I would normally go straight to my 113s.

I'm going +0.5cm per your recommendation. The 180/182 FR 110 says +84.25 from tail for -6cm so I'm going +84.75 cm for -5.5 cm. Dumb question…I'm going +84.75 cm from the tail from the straight pull (eg the FR110 is ~180.5cm straight pull)? Not going +84.75 cm measuring along the total base material (~182cm). The "math" tells me it's measured from the straight pull length but figure I'd ask
Thx.

Yes! Glad they arrived, fired up for you to give em a rip.Quote:

R110s look fun...mounted my FR110s just a couple days ago, having a bit of fomo already.
I very much don't need yet another pair of skis right now, but those R110's look sick.
crikey why do you constantly tease us!?
That flatness underfoot looks a lot more like the Sickle, I'm still have yet to mount my FR110s and want to stick with them... but am very R110 curious.
Edit: Also the ski I would venture to guess might benefit from the R110 profile is the BC110. Any chance that is coming to the BC110 Marshal?
Marshal has been talking about the R110 for over a year. Safe to say it should be dialed!

That R110 looks wow it’s making me consider selling some skis to get a pair.

They already have that, I believe (bc110s). [emoji846]Quote:

I honestly think the FR110 will be more like a sickle (just way better in soft snow) than the R110, which is more like an Astar/HALS Ren had a baby w/ an MF108.Quote:

And since this thread needs more stoke, here are some emails and texts I have gotten in the last week or so...

Dude! I can’t stop loving my 110s! Snowed 4” here last night and I’m been drifting around, making my own faceshots. So darn fun. Durable these skis are.

It carves really well on soft groomer. I have not skied these yet on hard snow. Definitely a more floaty and fun devastor but not quite the chop killer as the dev. It’s been a minute since I skied a sickle but as I remember the 110 skis pow better. Overall I’m super happy with them
The slide sideways move through moguls and bumps and slarving at speed is just so fun. The ski never catches to throw you off balance

Had another great powder day at Wolf Creek today. Cream cheese conditions, about 10” overnight. The 110s are my new favorite ski! So fun and agile but also charge. Happy Holidays Marshal!

Dude… we are not at Monarch today and it snowed about 6” of 5% blower. The 110s are face shot machines, just do a hockey stop style turn at full speed and face shot city. So darn fun.
I can’t tell you how many comments I get on them, everyone thinks they are beautiful
The jig is going to put in work tonight.
Gotcha on the BC110, I went back and looked at your site after posting and noticed the similar profile. The BC110 looks so tasty, if only I was skiing yet...Quote:

Which leads me to my next question-- Which is surfier? FL113 or R110?
