Is the heel on the r01 track or straight to ski?

Veneer, also I posted some photos down below.

Any time these Praxis 30% off deals pop up I debate on whether I want to snag a Protest. Question for you folks in the PNW… how many quality Protest days do you get per season? Also, stock 3 flex or 4 flex for PNW snow?

I'm considering selling my 192 MAP Veneer flex 3s. Amazing skis, I'm just touring a lot more than I am riding chairs these days and am consequently spending way more time on my UL build ones.

Two mounts, one for a Pivot at a pretty big BSL (330ish IIRC, holes plugged) and one for Shifts at -1 for a 307 w/ inserts. Ideally would sell with the Shifts, but could also sell flat. PM if interested.

Any day it’s over 10”. Flex 4 hands down if you like to rip. They handle resort chop better than a 3 flex.

Gracias! 192cm 4 flex is what I’m after then. Any reason to change the standard enduro; maple, ash and aspen core if its just going to be a PNW/Utah/Jackson resort ripper? Does Keith typically offer end of season custom ski deals every year?

I'm going to be selling some flex 4 192 protests here shortly. 2 mounts. 1 previous mount with wardens, current mount with warden demos, brakes are 115s bent to the 130 so they do an ok job at braking but I've never had an issue. $175 flat, $225 w/ binders? Lmk if interested

Damn! Wish they were my size. Good deal

I'd maybe be interested in these if Blazers passes, I like the idea of protests with demos so I can pass them around.

PM’ing :)

Just got PeachesNCream’s Protests in the mail! As such, I’m sure this marks the end of Utah’s storm cycle and we probably won’t see another snow day the rest of the year… but I’m stoked to get on these bad boys eventually!

Thinking of letting my 187 protest go.
Ultra lite with carbon. #4 flex.
Ambrosia maple veneer.
Tsunami graphics.

G3 ion lt12.
Mounted on the line
For 306bsl

Ordered summer ‘17.
Skied only couple times a year
Tour only. This setup has maybe 20 runs on em. Few minor base scratches.
I really like them, but have plenty overlap, and am not using them enough. Any interest here?

Finally got out on my Protests yesterday and I get it: the hype is real. Naturally they're great in untracked snow but I've never been on something can nuke through deep chop so fast and effortlessly. Also surprisingly playful and nimble in tight spots for such a gargantuan ski. Really happy I held out for a 4 flex

I’m a big fan of this year’s graphic. I think it makes my Praxis top 3.

So who has been on the new Protest with the new rocker tweaks? How do they ski compared to the gen in my photo?

Funky,

Would you mind giving me some insight on how the Protest versus Kusala ski?
I've got both as well; love the Kusalas but have yet to ski the Protests.
I think you're on flex 4 Protests while mine are flex 3 (with MAA core).
But I'm a quite a bit lighter at ~150#.

If anyone else has been on both I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts as well.

Sorry, just now seeing this. I only have about 5 runs on the Kusala so not a ton of time. They ski pretty different to the protest. You get more float from the shovel where as the Protest gets it closer to the boot and underfoot.
Kusala allows a more driving style where the Protest wants a more neutral style.
The Kusala is better on firm groomers than the Protest, duh, but they are similar on soft groomers. The Kusala allows a more aggressive stance on groomers where the protest wants to be just stood on.
They both are really really good in pow. protest is more loose/drifty, Kusala is pretty loose but more edgy.
For me they are both pretty mindless in pow, just barely think it and they both do it, Kusala more so. Protest wants a little more input, which I like. Both are super sick skis!!

Thanks Funky, that makes good sense.
While I have many days on the OGPMgear 186s Kusalas, I only have four days on my 189s.
The 189s however are extremely spoiled; in those four days they've had five feet of snow.
Definitely sick skis.

I'm excited to try out the Protests.
They are extra special: infused with the ghost of Beetlegeuse/Avergreene + Bubinga veneer topsheets.

My wife has the latest iteration. 177s stock layup with veneer top sheets. I mounted her binding on the dot which is at -7. We’ve been skiing powder all week at Powder Mountain that has varied from dense to almost blower this morning. I can definitely see that her tips are riding higher than mine. I have 192s stock veneer top sheet mounted 1.5 cm back from recommended. She likes to drive her skis and usually on lower snow days will be on her M6, M102, or K108, all 170s. She feels the 177s are a perfect length for her.
