Those also will never be sold. Last year before asym.

Only thing I have left that I’m still selling from that pic is a 184 Shreditor 92, which you probably dont want. Good all mtn ski, underrated, just slightly short/thin for me so I replaced with 188 Moment Pb&J. I sold 6 from that pic already.

I’m still looking for the 198cm 2013 Dragon Katanas. There was a pair hanging on the wall in the Jackson Hole Sports Authority 5 or 6 years ago. I regret not buying SO BAD!

There is a 184 for sale in Steamboat Springs on craigslist. The 184 was just as great. Still fast and floaty, better in bumps and tight trees. It will still give you a solid taste of the Katana.

I think I saw a pair (used) at a shop in NE. I’ll PM you if they’re still around.

Thanks Jupiter....I appreciate it. PM sent.

There are some barely used 193 Gunsmokes near me on craigslist if anyone wants. I think they are $300. Great ski.

This was at the end of last season in May. It was too much, made a bunch of sales since then, but also added some :(. Selling a few more too though. I want to end up with half this amount.

I’ll post my updated 2019 quiver in November when it’s all sorted.

LOL

NW Skier always says that to me. No trust fund here. I wish. I’m broke lol, I live with my Mom. You’ll see when I roll up to the VRBO. I have gear, and gear is all I have. That’s like 1/5th of my life savings right there in that pic. It’s not good :(

I need to get my priorities straight. Norseman is helping me get grounded. I just turned 27, time to grow up.

All that came from a loaded up paypal credit account I had reserved for skis and bikes. I have sold off most of those high value On3ps and selling a dh bike to pay down all that debt. And hence forth, no more financing toys for me. Cash only, and only after I can match the same amount into a savings account. ;)


I wish I was a trusty, then I could treat the entire BBI squad to dinner.

oh man... nice collection. But think of the ski passes (= ski days) that it has cost. A day spent skiing is always better than a day spent buying gear....

I try to ski 100 days a year, every year. Getting better at it as the years go on too.

The gear has made me miss out on traveling, that’s what I regret most.

Been a while since I posted to this thread, but here's what the wifey and I currently have going in CO. A few skis stored at my mom's house in WA aren't pictured (202 L138s, backup 191 BGs, 191 Wrens 2010, etc). But I've been going for quality over quantity lately -- I haven't actually bought skis in two years.

L to R:
jesski:
170 Dakota, P18. jesski doesn't love them, too lifeless and she prefers camber -- trying to talk her into a 171 K108
164 Bro, P15 -- prolly handflex the stiffest of all the skis pictured
170 2010 Aura -- jesski's all-time fav ski (except the BG), recently purchased from LVS. She used to ski the 170 inbounds and tour on the 163. Will get P18.
164 0G 95, Speed Turn 2.0 -- will likely get remounted with BD Helio 145. A ski this light deserves an UL binder.
175.5 Corvus Freebird, Speed Turn 2.0 w. B&D top plate. Need to shim the toes.
176 BG, P18.

Boots:
Atomic Backland
Atomic Hawx 110W
Head B5 plugs

auvgeek:
177 Lowdown 90, SSL 2.0
185 0G 108, SSL 2.0
184 Piste Jib, prolly get STH 16 since I think I can reuse the holes.
186 Jeffrey 110, P18 -- extra stiff in tip/tail + woodgrain w. 22oz fiberglass
191 BG, P18 -- woodgrain + 22 oz fiberglass

Boots:

^^^^ The Piste Jib sidecut looks money!

Yeah, I ought to mount them and ski them more. The Jeffrey has been my go-to inbounds ski lately. That ski just kills it.

Your quiver is obviously super sick, betel.

Another nice quiv, dayum

Sorry for the behind-the-sofa pic, but it's summer and my bike takes prime position in my apartment.

Glad I did pick some up at a nice price when I had the chance! Although I don't ski them much, they're unreal when I do have the space and the legs to ski them as intended. No, I'm not selling. I picked up the 191s the next year thinking they'd be rock skis but I like them a lot so try to keep them in good condition.

Seems like a good time to ask for some ski advice... I'm looking for something around a 100-105mm waist, full twin tail, a close-to-centre suggested mount (like -3 to -5cm), pretty stiff, mellow rocker (would't mind mellow full reverse camber or even full camber), preferably long-ish radius without much taper and 190cm+. A ski for dicking around the resort if it hasn't snowed a lot recently. What ski am I describing? I've been skiing the Devastators for this purpose (111 waist) and they're just too wide on hard snow and really heavy which isn't always a good thing; a 102mm version, possibly with some camber and a tiny bit softer/lighter would be perfect. The old Peacemaker would have been the ski if they made it in a longer length. Faction Prodigy 3.0 looks close but not sure how tapered, rockered or stiff it is, need to try to see it in the flesh. PB&J if I could deal with 188cm? Shreditor 102 if I could find some? Never really liked the feel of any K2s though, but maybe if I saw some 191s cheap. Line's Francis Bacon is meant to be stiffer than it used to be, but is it actually stiff?

Jealous of those Katanas! How do you like those Invictus in comparison?

I could see suggesting the PB&J, although its not “phenomenal” on ice. But I’m a little spoiled by Monster 98s on ice. It also only measures 187cm, so may be too short for you. I like the PBJ a ton though, it’s stiff and fun and it’s hard to find other freestyle skis that are this chargey. The design is tried and true. Its very similar to the Bibby. Destroys crud for not having any metal in it. That being said, I really want a metal PB&J..

The shreditor 102 is a fkn noodle lol. But its big (191 measures 192cm) and fairly heavy (seems about 2300g/ski), and still will be fast for you if you have good balance. The flex is consistent too, which I prefer whether a ski is soft or stiff. It’s 100% noodle, no hinge points. All that noodle isnt great for shutting down speed when your flying though. They will waggle a bit. I put up with that aspect, and really enjoy the entire shreditor series. Pissed K2 got rid of them for asym..

I like big fast skis, and I really like the Pb&J. Shreditor is more like a big, easy going mess around ski.

191 Kartel 108 or PB&J like betel mentioned.

I havent tried the 2019 or 191 size Kartel 108, but the PB&J feels more chargey, feels much better making long radius turns, and a bit more directional even, than the 2018 186 K108

K108s were very good on firm snow though, probably better than Pb&J. They felt a bit more like a park ski, and they are super quick and snappy.

I really hope the new sidecut on the 2019 k108s make them handle long turns better. That would make them just about perfect IMO.


Praxis MVP could be good for you. Not too much thinner than devastator, but the Praxis skis I have tried have the absolute best edge hold on firm snow I have ever tried in a non metal ski. My 116mm Rx feel like 108mm skis. My 108mm Q’s held an edge like a 98mm ski.

I really like the Invictus for how I ski it. It doesn't quite have the high speed stability of the 191 Katana or the same weight to blast through choppy snow but as my bigger/heavier touring ski it works really nicely, not as demanding either so I can ski it with tired legs. Faction Dictator 3.0 would be nice to compare also.

Likewise on big fast skis. I skied fewer days last winter so my legs weren't as strong as usual and I skied the Devastators a lot of the time - best skied hard but with quite a relaxed and upright stance, can plough through anything but still won't completely kick your ass if you get lazy - that's what I'm looking for in a narrower ski. I'm 6ft4, 80kg/176lbs and pretty strong so 190+ with a long edge is really what I'm looking for so not so sure of the 188cm PB&J with its tapered shape for this niche.

If Blister is to be believed then 17/18 and 18/19 Bacons are pretty stiff so I'll need to try to have a feel of those in a shop. Faction Prodigy 3.0 also. Just saw that there is a Rossi Black Ops 98 coming out in a 193cm so that could be worth a look too.
