The right skis for the day!
I would probably snag a pair of shorter C113’s without hesitation…

Where are you mounted and what boots?
I’m on the 194, on the line at -11, Dalbello Lupo 130C with the spoiler
Money mount. I've tried -11, -10.5 and now -11.5. 304-307 boots, around 12.5 degrees forward lean. I liked -11 the most, but -11.5 is so close it's just splitting hairs.Quote:

I finally put a few runs in on the 194 FL113, a tiny bit of camber. Mounted at -11, skied with Lange Heritage xr9.
Magic Carpet Ride
It's been snowing consistently today, putting down about 2" over 10" of leftovers. Temps and humidity are up and the old snow has consolidated into dense piles. The FL113 drifts cleanly through heavy chop with time-suspending calmness, like a 192 LP105 that doesn't suck in pow. This is a serious ski, a heavy weapon, it demands your attention but will revert to auto-pilot in open spaces with sufficient pitch. I need to find a tram.
Kai, I need to meet you down there one of these days for a little demo time. The 194's sound spectacularQuote:

Cool! I never got the opportunity to ski those, but they seemed right up my alley when they were on the market.Quote:

The boot choice is a real factor, you are right on with this.
I am seriously considering going back to a race bred 4 buckle overlap boot…and that was not in the plans after 2 achilles surgeries.
I’ve broken multiple cables and buckles on the Lupos from cranking the fuck out of them in order to get the necessary drive, and can sense this coming again.
-I have a full set of spares in my ski bag, from experience
Love these and the FL105!, very different yet complimentary skis, in the 190+ lengths.
-can’t wait for all the other HL skis set to arrive in my future
Stoked for “needing” new boots!
Fuck dude!Quote:

Horrible back story?
I don’t do anything half-assed…

You are on this thread
I don’t think about the injuries at all anymore while skiing.
I am more limited in daily life than on skis.
I like Dalbello for the ankle buckle, but they are needing to be seriously reefed on to provide the necessary connection with the FL skis.
Haha... memories.Quote:

Since I changed to a more upright boot (mach1 lv 130), my skiing has been much better even though I'm older.

Hey Marshall, will there be another run if the C113?
Was literally pondering the same thing this morning. Would love to get my hands on a pair.Quote:

I like them enough that as I heard the fl113 might disappear, I had Marshal send me a pair. Haven’t skied them yet but the anticipation is building
Circling back here.
have 3 days now on the fl113s. About 20” over 2 days on the mountain, on a hard crust. Holy cow, these skis are rockets! The pintail with the stout yet damp flex makes for a extremely fast ride when pointed down the fallline. They will make turns, but it’s a slarving game not carving. Soft snow is a key element to enjoy the ride. I did ski them back to back with my r120 and there a couple noticeable differences. The r120 will carve soft groomers much easier, the 113 wants to go straight. The flex on the 120 is definitely a notch or 2 softer but it’s not a comp ski. They both destroy chop but the 113 is more work. Overall I’m happy I have both.
