Sorry. I’ve missed a couple of weeks of this thread. Did we ever get a weight on the BG 108 184 with the full tour thin base config?

Ding ding!! This nails it — own both and C&D will be reserved for first hour of the day when in resort or cat days!Quote:

I would imagine the C&D would do better in continental snow late on a storm day than it does in maritime chop, where the Goat has no peer.
Would add that the BG is no slouch in fresh. Haven’t skied a CD but have many days of 12”+ new on BGs and have never wished I had a better ski for it. I was on older BGs though.
Basically my quiver but swap protest for C&D. Most days I'm lazy though and those first few fresh laps I just take the Goats, never ever do I regret itQuote:

Can´t seem to upload pictures but Iggy posted the woodsman graphics on NS.

Probably pop real well on snow. :) If you want to post pictures, then just type [IMG] copy in the url of the picture followed by [/IMG] Voila.Quote:

But, if you can have an assload of awesome skis, discussing the differences is cool too.
Re SG - it would be interesting to see how a 184 SG (if Iggy ever decides to bring it to market after he mused on it earlier in this thread) would bridge the gap between a 184 BG and 184 C&D. The slightly wider SG shape (compared to a BG) with less tail splay and stiffer recommended flex pattern should be really interesting in the 184 shape too. You know, for all of us short, light people who do not have the cahones to ride skis in big boy lenghts :) Not that a 184 SG is really needed - BGs and C&Ds is a truly awesome powder offering - but it would be interesting for sure.
I wonder if new or OG c and d tour is better. I skied new Bg and prefer my old one so I sold it. Maybe I don’t like assym. Anybody ski variations of c and d and care to comment? Also comments to applicable UT blower only ;)

Did somebody say BILLY GOAT!?https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...4&d=1585761589
The Woods look awesome. Can't wait to see the BG tour/tour 108 topsheets. :D Still debating whether I should opt for tour or the new 50/50 option for my next pair. Waiting for official weights before I make up my mind. Really don't need another pair of skis at this point, but you know... ON3P. ;)
I've had 2 versions of C&D. 193 OG(heavy af, nontour) and I own the previous version to the current. OG was a true one trick pony. Little more off balance than I like(too wide at the tip compared to tail. Front taper section too long. Pintail, tail rocker and twintip left no rear support). They were great in untracked or where skis could be let to follow the fall line. Skied the Pipeline at the Bird w/ them and that was it. Sold them the following fall to a fellow local mag who I believe still rocks them.
Do not have enough time on my '17s to actually comment definitively, but I recall feeling nothing but comfortable on them.
