Someone else would have to compare it to the Backland.
It’s easy. I ski everyday the lifts spin and some days after. Never have actually counted but since I know the lifts spin that many days I assume I get 150+Quote:

New DPS lotus next Monday… sounds like it will ship this year.
i think I read “Lotus 118” elsewhere.
Yeah, that looks pretty nice. The graphic are slightly nauseating for some reason, but I'm sure others won't care, and I don't really either. Atomic light construction, yes please!Quote:

I love my 4frnt hojis, and black crow damian, looking for more like that (light full rocker, 20+ M turn shape, 95-115 mm range, 180+ lenght)
All I can see is that we still get the V Werks Katana... would love to see a new full rocker ski though
WNDR seems interesting in this category… but not new.

Volkl Blaze 106 isn’t full rocker, but really close to it and generally skis like it.Quote:

Now that the ice has been broken on the old full rocker skis… the 2011 rossignol sickle is worth a look. Hit me up if you want to try a pair and are close to a 307mm bsl.Quote:

Just a tiny little-bit flappy at ludicrous speeds in tracked-out chop (but stable)... but if skied below rabid-charging-crazed mode...they are really darn sweet and spread fresh powder like buttah without much input from the pilot. Nice 117mm width for more snow conditions than the Lotus 124 is likely to see during the season. Really nice handling ski.
Any more info on the ski? Camber or flat underfoot? Rearward mount like the old 120 or modern? What builds do they come in?Quote:

I've been thinking about the new Salomon light touring boot after hearing the Blister podcast where they rave about its stiffness. I am concerned about the low buckle/lack of power strap. Looks like Alka was running "skimo strap" style power straps but the stock boot does not have them hmm...

Multiple models of that boot. Another one has the extra powerstrap.
Shape is cool. $1500 is not.Quote:

Wait wait wait. Faction La Machine Mini and Mega??? Who's got details? Did all my touring fantasies just come true?
Yea I just saw them on the website and with that price I don't need anymore info.Quote:

Good call. I was mainly looking at the tip profile but the tail does match the RPC.
My wife seems to love every DPS ski, and she needs a new powder ski but agree that the price is a bit of a non-starter. I do appreciate the make in usa carbon stuff for sure... but at that price we'll likely pickup something from Moment.

Thank you for not making a 177 like the E110.
Probably the ski I am most looking forward to getting on next year. Bases on my experience the 110 Free, thinking the 191 will be more my jam. I really want a 110 Free with the 115 Free flex pattern/layup. No idea how the Unleashed 108 will compare but hopeful.Quote:

Somebody needs to find out where/when the workbook is publishedQuote:

Does look like a touring ski. Tip and tail rocker, 108-mm waist, -2120-grams in the 186, poplar and beech core, single layer of metal, and 20.5-m radius in 191 length. Seems like competition for the MFree108, as others have noted.Quote:
