Just remounted the goats (myself, first time), here’s the current “ain’t much but it’s honest work” alpine quiver. Covers pretty much everything I can encounter in CO.
- Jeffrey 102 (186) - early season, work when I have to ski groomers, park
- Woodman 110 (186) 50/50 Layup w/ CAST - daily/touring/ everything
- BG116 (189) - big snow ski fast
I got over 150 days in last year so I think I’ll justify adding the Jeff 118 for this season. Always on the lookout for a skinny Wren TI as well.
Tele quiver (it’s just a Kartel 96) waiting for new 22 designs bindings. Looking to add a mid-fat as well, probably a J108/110, to replace Meier Leepers (didn’t like how they tele’d, they’re for sale if anyone is interested).

150 days is phenomenal. Good work!
Annual update. Getting to the point of maybe not needing to update much anymore. Elans look like a delam is a maybe soon so could replace those at some point.
180 Charger BC w/scales. Quick local laps.
186 Vicik. Tele. Collect dust more than anything these days.
189 BG108T. BC.
183 RC4. Go fast on hard snow.
187 Exp 92. Goof around groomers.
187 RC95C. Not sure yet. New end of last season.
188 AM99. Everything fun when not deep.
190 Got. Rocks.
188 Rip 106. Do everything easy going.
192 K108. Do everything but with more angst and fun.
193 SBG. Search and destroy everything not pure.
193 F120ST. Hopefully a soft snow magic carpet but we'll see.
Good stuff! Love the Viciks!
Let's get this thread firing.
sick fkn quiver, dude.

That is an awesome collection and so cool your kids can enjoy it too!
Wow what an amazing quiver. I had those same EHPs and lusted over the CRJs from that era so much.
Complete rebuild on my end.
Full family quiver.

That's awesome...cat skiing a bunch of years ago, one of the fellow customers was on a pair. We had the same bsl and let me try them for a run. I was on XXL 192's at the time. Mind was blown by the Spats.Quote:

Main inbounds quiver for 60/40 west/eastern Canada with some trips down south the border:
- 183 RC85 supercomp mounted somewhere. Maybe -10.5? for all things firm snow
- 185 FL105 daily driver mounted -12cm
- 184 Monster 108 the most "special feeling" skis I've ever skied, usually a morning ski when the legs are fresh
- 186 Bodacious. Was my DD for 2 seasons but this year I'm gonna try to take it out only when the snow is soft(ish)
- 190 Bibby mounted -2 from rec. supposed to be my pow ski but really for when snow is soft and choppy and I don't want to send it hard enough to warrant the Bodes. I don't think they're that great in true pow
- "189" HB122 mounted -6.25 roughly. Sounds like perfect setup for when the snow is good and the viz is not, and I'm putzing around in the trees.

Tele and touring:
- 177 full rocker mantras, used to be my only tele setup but were quickly getting destroyed. relegated to rock ski duty this season
- 184 Wren88 firm snow
- 184 Wren108 soft snow
- 175 Down LD87 - really hoping this serves as a bad-snow tech ski
- 188 G3 Sendr. I really like this ski but it's basically destroyed now. Will be my rock touring ski. RIP G3
- 191 VWK soft snow touring
Attachment 505271Attachment 505272
Reserve:
- 184 Solly xdrive 88 used to be my east coast DD and it's somehow survived years of abuse, but has been replaced by the RC85
- 191 M108. Surprisingly easier to ski than the 184 M108, a little looser and better in soft snow.
- Backup 186 Bode
- 191 Wren is a fun ski when I want to mix it up, a very different feel from my other chargers. Mount point is VERY far back, but the skis are pretty light for how big they are and have a nice energetic feel to them.
- 190 Bibby a true rock ski. Bases are quite warped, core feels "tired", don't trust the bindings at all. Made for skiing mank in June and cruising over the bald spots without a care

Jitsu, any thoughts on the Wren 110 Pro vs. HL FL105? Just curious as I picture one just a slightly wider version of the other - yet to get my FL105s on snow and familiar with non-pro Wren varieties.Quote:

Your assumption is spot on. The Wren 110 Pro is a lot closer to the FL105 than any of the other versions of the Wren. I had the Wren 108 and it was a lot loser and floated better than the 110 (well maybe not floated better but it was easier in deeper snow).Quote:

Like you said the Wren 110 is kinda like a slightly wider FL105. The Wren is more of a monster truck to just smash through anything. I find the Wren I like best with a 1/1 tune where the FL105 I like with a slightly sharper 1.5/1 or 2/1 tune and so the FL105 has better hold on firmer conditions. The FL has a bit more energy, but is a pretty stiff ski and you need to put some force into it to get energy out. I haven't tried the R105 yet but I suspect it'll split the difference between the Wren 110 and FL105.
Current quiver:

Peak 78 - New frontside ski; will likely replace the MX74 and maybe MX84
MX84 - My go-to front-side ski
Enforcer 93 - Narrow rock ski
MX98 - For firmer conditions; I love it on firm bumps and squirrelly terrain
TX103 - General touring
WC108 - Potential daily driver? Replaces a DW104 that Moment warranteed for me
Enforcer 110 - Wide rock ski
Peak 110 - New soft snow ski (thanks Peak for the freebee!)
WC118 - All mountain thrasher; close to retirement
BC120 - 50/50 powder ski; selling
