*Sigh* No longer Meridian, maybe someday…
New top sheet looks awesome, hope they pull off a Christmas miracle and can make the one-ninety-three dream machine a reality

the ski really doesn’t need a 193. With the minimal tip and tail rocker it skis long for its length. If you really want a 193 get the banana.Quote:

The Banana is not a Meridian, adding that much to the waist would be counterproductive on the ice coast
Interesting statement from a person who owns, and skis, a blade.
(Look, I'm sorry. I'm basically sober now and trying to layoff my sarcasm, but come on...)
A couple of pages back you all were actually calling Moment Stockli-esque in pricing and giving shit to their durability... then you have Blade owners telling clydesdales they don't need longer lengths?
Cue the cleanup crew... the Moment thread has gone to shit.

Give us the 411 after you ski it!!!Quote:

What’s your overall impressions of the meridian?Quote:

So much Meridian 193 debate. Love it.
A couple of things to consider, the Meridian has a longer effective edge than any other ski we make but at the same time it does have a progressive mount and has a mellow full rocker.
Would a 193 be cool? Yes
Have we considered making it? Yes
Would this length be the worst seller? Yes
Will we make is someday? Maybe
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
as pointed out already different profiles. Cats ski shorter than meridians. Cats have far more tip and tail rise compared to meridians. Cats have a shorter effective edge compared to meridians. There just isn’t the need or demand for a 193 meridian like there is the 196 cats. Seems like most people asking for a 193 have never even skied the 187. The 187 Meridian has a longer effective edge than the 190cat and the 193 banana. The 187 is a lot of ski performance wise and I think people underestimate that and just say “I want a longer ski”Quote:

Just absolutely don’t want them on icy days. They hate really firm icy conditions. Firm snow is all good but anything icy they turn into ice skates and just go all over the place and give you those clench your butthole and pray for the best moments. If you live somewhere that you never deal with iced over days they could easily be a one ski quiver.Quote:

people ask for a lot of things. Doesn’t mean it’s necessarily needed. Like I said only the 196 cat has a longer effective edge than the meridian 187, you’re also talking about a 118 width ski designed for powder to a 107. The 190 cat and 193 banana have shorter effective edges than the 187 Meridian. Like mele said, They’ve done it. Just doesn’t seem to be needed or else they’d be producing it. Maybe if enough people request it that could happen, but evidently that isn’t the case currently.Quote:

I love this ski, it’s been my all time favorite for close to a decade now, but I’ve always yearned for a little bit more length for when things get extra spicy.
Think our pal FS likely has beaten ya to it.Quote:

Damn the WC108s are so good

I just bought a pair for young owen
Yes. Yes they are. I have close to 200 days on mine over the last 3 years. I put CAST on them and pretty much turned them into a one ski quiver.Quote:
