Finger on the trigger for Jan 2024 FR 110s.
Assume shipping to Canada (North Vancouver) not an issue (quick check of the website couldn't tell).
Thanks,

Yeah dude! No troubles shipping to Canada, doing quite a few pair last and this season. We just need to use USPS instead of UPS. LMK if you have any other q's :DQuote:

Weighed in at 2360 and 2395 for the 186 length. I tried to get a shot of the sweet rocker profile here.

Wow those look loose and fun
Super sexy. Congrats! Mine get here Wednesday, I hope.

USPS works great. That profile is pretty darn sweet looking. Would love those for skiing in Whitewater steep trees.Quote:

Does this ski look like a substantial HOJI to anyone else as well?
Hey Marshal,
I want the 180cm FR110…. website says ship date is Jan 2024.
We are hitting the powder Hwy last weekend in January 2024 and I would want to ski these.
It would kill me to get ‘em in Feb and have to wait another year to get them to Whitewater.
So just wondering on how hard/conservative the Jan 2024 ship date is? And any chance for sooner ship? Totally get it that it may not all be in your control.
Thanks,
Keith

Yeah I was wondering about that too. A little more sidecut than the Hoji, and a weight similar to the 2016 (?) vintage, which I think comes in around 2500 g for the 195 size. Wonder how these will feel in comparison, as the Hoji is a super fun and versatile ski (haven't been on the newer iterations though). I'm guessing these will likely be stiffer?Quote:

Just received mine - beyond pumped! They look amazing, pictures do not do them justice. Thanks Marshall!

I guess these two might get the most on snow time of my quiver the next season.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...528f3aff03.jpg

Where'd you mount them Arild?
-11.5 for the 192 105s, -8 for the 110s, both straight pull.Quote:

Marshal - Are you going to restock the 186 FR110 this season? Wanted to order a pair and they’re currently sold out without the note that they’d be available for January 2024 shipping like the other sizes.

You got it! That is the restock listed. The fall shipment is already sold out. Already down to only 5 pair up for grabs as of now in the Holiday allotment.Quote:

Mine just showed up today and can't wait to try these out! I am impressed with how well the sidecut matches the rocker. Feels like that'd be really hard to get right and these absolutely nailed it.
I'm planning on mounting them with demo bindings at -7 so I can play around with the mount. I'm guessing I'll like it better at -8 or -8.5 based on how I ski, but I should be able to move the binding back and forth +/- 2cm from where they are mounted.

heck, I should have grabbed a pair of those in 186 when I had the chance. those look like the funs.
Look what the ski fairy dropped off today! Fuck yes.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f98673c459.jpg

Got mine yesterday.
From just a visual inspection, construction quality looks top notch (as expected). Nice tight joints between all the pieces. Good base structure. Nice matte, textured topsheet.
The two other skis in my quiver most directly comparable (but still significantly different) are 186cm ON3P Wrenegade 112s and 186cm ON3P Billy Goats. Can't remember the exact model years but circa 2014. It's the cult classic BG that everyone raves about and the Wren that still had a flattish tail.
The FR110 measures a true 186cm straight pull just like the ON3Ps. Hand flex wise, they are a bit softer throughout than the Wrens (definitely softer underfoot and more round). They're similar stiffness underfoot as the BGs and perhaps a bit stiffer tip and especially tail. Splay/rocker is a bit difficult to compare since it's a reverse camber ski but overall tip rise is about the same as the BG and tail is a bit lower. More rise overall than the Wrens, especially in the tail.
Overall I think these are going to be very complimentary to, but very different than the other skis in my quiver. The BG will still probably be my go-to on a pow day and the Wren still my hatefuck the mountain ski, but the FR110 looks like a great day after a storm, poke around the trees, sidecountry, little bit of everything ski. Stoked to get them on snow!
Damn....IT moved.Quote:

I can't believe a Hellbent recreation was made! HB122. That's insane. I actually wish it was the 132mm model that had a little camber, I'd be all over that, but this is still super rad.
A stiffer 118mm K2 Obsethed would be ultimate one ski quiver for me, if any more old K2 designs are being looked at lol. That ski was like a prime Billy Goat with sidecut, or a more freestyle orientated Praxis Rx. A little worse in maritime snow, but a lot better on edge.
The FR110 will probably be my first HL ski though.
It's funny you mention the Seth 118. I have dreams of running the HB122 shape in the FR110 mold and built with the FR110's construction/flex to compliment the HB122 mega rocker surf machines. Would be VERY similar tbh.Quote:

On the cambered skis, they are a bit stiffer underfoot to increase edge purchase and power, the camber spreads skier weight across the EE, the bevel is hand prepped at the intersection of EE and rocker to ensure the cambered ski drifts really nicely, and then the tail's flex pattern is designed so the tail tracks the tip and carves round in variable snow. Since the reverse skis are bent to radius-matched shape already, and the reverse concentrates skier weight under foot, having a round flex pattern really helps make the ski smooth on hardpack/windboard and track super nicely in variable.
Couldn't be more excited for snow to fly and folks to get on them.
