I also have a pair of last years Watea 101's and love them at W/B. They are more than Versatile enough. They hand flex soft, in the tip and tail but have more than enough stiffness under foot. No issues charging any line on the mountains. Lots of float, amazing edge hold and a flex pattern that seems perfect for me (6ft 175lbs). I need another set so I have one pair mounted alpine and one touring.Quote:

186 Praxis Powder Boards w/914 (from one of last year's first batches) - big days
Rossi boots with Power Wraps still to be molded.
The Fischer and Ninthward binders still need some "finishing touches", but otherwise set for the year. Thinking of maybe trading the Misfits for more of a go fast groomer ski, i.e. Monster 88s or similar, but not sure yet. Though, I'm not completely sold on Praxis yet either, might want to get something superfat traditional like a Thug instead, will have to ski them some more first.

181 K2 Totally Pistes with G3 bindings

on another note, i do not see a problem here at all :D
Tigerstripe, you are a very, very brave man to put up that quiver after soulskier's tour de force / gear whore juggernaut.
i think your younger, shorter brother is compensating for something. earlier this fall he was talking about buying a big f250 turbo diesel....Quote:

From l to r
204 SG skis that I bought for the bindings. Might ski em.
Ak rockets with dukes, skied em once, can't wait to try em out some more.
Ants with p18s
EHPs with mojo 15s
194 Squads with p18s
Comi Kazis with p18s skiing them tomorrow, pumped
Still waiting on some iggies as well, then all I think I need is a peak bagging setup, and a fatter more pow specific touring rig with dukes, I'm thinking zealots or lotus 120s if i get some cash.
EDIT: I threw the poles in for shits. Scott something or others. BD fliplocks.
Leroy never fails to impress.
sick sick quiver leroy. i would love to wake up on a powder day and have to make the choice of which of those skis i would use...
im also really interested in how the full tail comikazi feels, ive got some waiting for me at home and cant wait to ski them!!!
Nice call on the comikazi Leroy. If you are back here for xmas maybe you should put some rental bindings on those so I can try em, or maybe get bigger feet.
I'll let you chop off your toes and get some smaller boots?
No pics (waiting on Praxis) but finally got the quiver in order. This was some stressful shit. It all seems kind of silly but it's better than a crack habit.
There's the fun stuff like Bigfeet, 180 Head Monoski and some Speed Machine 220s but those dont see too much action.
Mine:
195 Praxis-916s
192 Brohemouths-Dukes
190 Verdicts-Dynafits
188 Soft Bros-916s
185 Kilowatts-Bishops
185 DPS Wailer 95s-916s
183 Gots-P18s
Lady C:
167 ARWs-912
180 T-Rocks-Naxo 01s
174 Dawn Patrols-Hardwires
leroy, I know you toured on your last pair of Ak rockets as well...what's your take on that? Seems like you like it to have blessed them with the Duke
jetpilot,
I'd like to get a couple more at skis, eventually something wider with dukes, and a peak bagging setup with dynafits, maybe a wider setup with dynafits too.
For now though, most of my BC skiing is springtime stuff, and the aks are about as wide as you need in corn. They fairly stable, but still easy to ski. Seem to float a lot better than you'd think.
Basically, they're a good one ski quiver. Does almost everything tolerably well.
I'm just totally stoked to mount mine next week. They seem pretty light, even compared to the Districts. I'm just jonesin' to get on them after waiting 1.5-2 years to get a pair. I have a feeling they'll get their start on some PA man made.Quote:

Hey GoldenBear. What do you think of the Gotama Freeride combo. I am thinking of re-mounting mine with Freerides.Quote:

176 Volkl Gotamas w/ Rossi Axial 2s (looking to trade for same year 183s)
185 Praxis Powders w/ Atomic/Salomon 914s
I am pretty pumped with the quiver....should get me through everything the west can throw at me......except i would like some 183 Gots not 176s.....they were good in EC trees but not so much out here.....

I'm trying not to buy any more - in fact, will be hoping to sell some of these;)
^^^^^
In that pic it almost looks like they´re the same ski with different topsheets.
Bit of overlap, no?
Suppose the camera angle doesn't do any justice to the difference in width between the skis, but there is a degree of overlap, I'll grant you that :)Quote:
