I'll just put it here. What is recommended mount point for 193cm FR110?
Website lists it at -7.25cm back from true center.Quote:

Since the riding was going to be awful I brought the Slayers with CAST to at least have a solid setup for the conditions.
All that to say that the Slayers made it tolerable, bordeline enjoyable. Everyone else I met was struggling on lightweight gear.
Previous ski in this role was Wren 108, the Slayers are so far better in every respect - probably except float
I've got 185 FL105s v.1 and 184 Wren108s. Wrens float better indeed, but are much less composed around spicy icy stuff. I keep both in the quiver.
Wrens as a pow on questionable sharky base skis. They are so tough and have annihilated so many rocks by now, that I refuse to call them rock skis out of respect.
FL105s are sublime in variable stuff, windbuff to ice to crust and back, but you dont get to relax. Gotta commit or the tails will sure let you know yo momma didnt raise no quitter.
My mom signs her email— Yo Momma.
So I’m assured this ski is for me.

R105s are rad, I've never seen a 105mm underfoot ski perform as well in deep cold snow, warming solar effect, crud, chop, and good sized cliffs with ugly run outs all on the same day. I find myself grabbing these more and more as the season goes on, super impressed with them.

This!!
I’ve basically only skied my R105 and SE116 this year. As long as it’s decent visibility, this ski does it all. It’s just so good!!
Just dropping in to say the FL116 (SE) is complete madness. Been having a lowkey year due to surgery but got my innagural day on these this week in some nice pnw fresh and they made me temporarily forget I have the flu and a massive calf injury. I can't imagine a better ski for our terrain and heavy snow. Big fast drifts? Easy. Straightline mow down avy debries like it isn't there? Yep. Drag a hip carving up heavy chop? Why not. Just damp damp (DAMP). I'm a terminal beginner snowboard crossover and these are by no stretch terribly demanding. Forward, back, centered, fast, slow, sideways, whatever, it all works, just superbly intuitive skis. Perfect deep day counterpart to the woods 100 I ride most of the time. Can't get enough, well done MO.
I didn't see a thread for the 116 so I'll put a pic of these with some 105s so it counts here?

I cannot emphasize enough how comfortable they are in the air as well:</p>

my smart ass was gonna say FL one oh five
need more wind buff
Another couple days out on the R105s, and they continue to baffle and delight me everytime I ski them. We've had a couple decent storms come in lately, and Saturday was just a small refresh of 2-3" and low vis storm skiing. Lots of chopped up powder, tree skiing, some aspects having a refrozen garbage crust underneath the new snow and others being softer. R105 handled all of that eloqently—smoothing out the choppy stuff, not getting hung up in the crust layer, pivots easily enough to ski tighter trees, yet locked on edge at high speeds on piste. Sunday went high pressure and bluebird, and I was skiing with my SIL for her first day out this year post surgery so we stuck to groomers and keeping speeds lower. Laid flat at speed on a really firm groomed/smooth run, the R105s want to wander which is not unexpected. Just keeping 'em on edge and being more exact with your turns is the answer here, but their lack of chill mode does make it challenging to ski at lower speeds (at least for me). But take them into anything even remotely edgable and they come back alive. Steep chalky bumps, cut up powder, creamy wind affect, it's all good. They're possibly the best ski for wind buff I've ever skied, maybe my favorite thing to ski them on. Seriously, I just don't understand the black magic in these things.
They are a pretty unique ski, it seems. Was just talking with my SIL's partner who's worked in shops and for a couple ski brands over the last several decades about this yesterday, a few things came to his mind.Quote:

The Legend Pro comparison looks spot on from a shape perspective. Just +5mm it and give is a similar rocker profile to the Corvus or 100Eight?
Nah they're WAY more similar to the BC105, except in the ways that they aren't.Quote:
