Mine arrive on Monday!!!!
The AM100 has been my new favorite skis this year, you will not regret the decision and it is a great fit in-between those to skis imo. It's been pretty low tide in my part of the world this season and this ski does all the low tide things I want it to do and more. Rip scrapped off to soft groomers? Check. Steep chalk bumps to slushy mank on these 50 degree Feb days? Check. Popping off side hits and arcing through janky bumps at 25 MPH? Check Jump turns in a punchy 40+ degree chute barely wide enough for the skis? Check.
I am looking at the BC100 for my daily driver moving forward after how awesome the 100 has been for my inbounds skiing this season.

Welp while giving my beloved Deathwish one o fours a tune today I noticed a crack in the sidewall. These have been my low tide skis for two and a half seasons now and I've loved the piss out of them but it looks like they're going to be bumped down to rock skis. My question is how do the AM 100s compare to the DW104? Im tempted to just pick up another set of DW but Id also like to expand my horizons and diversify the quiver with some HL beauty
This AM 100 is much much more damp than the DW104. Personally my time on the 190 104 felt a bit harsh. Both are easy to pivot but the 100 isn’t excessively stiff like the DW. Does a much better job at absorbing bumps and impacts. My AM (first/early run) is a touch on the heavy side at 2330 but it’s not tiring to ski. Was just talking to my buddy about how the 100 has the craziest ability to be fucking glued into a turn and then with the slightest bit of heel pressure can be kicked out into a nice drift. It’s a really fun ski. Accomplishes the same mission as the 104 just in a slightly different more supportive way.Quote:

Sounds pretty sweet. How would you compare the flex profiles between the two? And should I go 180 or 187? for reference I was on the 184 DW and loved it in that length for what I was using it for. The rest of my skis are between 186 and 190 so I enjoy longer planks but also liked having the DW as a maneuverable option that could still be driven hard in firm conditions. Basically, does the AM 100 ski shorter, longer or appropriately for its length?
What’s the Height/Weight?
I was on the 190 104 and the 187 AM100 is more than enough.
6foot 200 I have a feeling the 180 would most likely be too short, if the 187 still feels plenty maneuverable Ill happily go that route
187 for sure then.
I have a NIB set of Blue STH2 WTRs awiting these!!!Quote:

Can you comment on the “energy” you get from these skis when exiting hard carves or mashing through moguls? Do they feel dead/damp or are they pretty lively? Thanks!
I wouldn't call them "dead" but they are more on the damp side of things than lively. If you bend them hard you can get some energy out of the turn, but it takes some effort to get there. Also possible that I'm just a jong and can't bend them enough, but that's been my experience.
Current AM100 owners, what tune package (if any) did you opt for?
If you’re on edge in three d snow and really load them they have a ton of rebound. I’m on the one nine three r one ten and I weigh two forty
I have the tune from Todd mentioned in the email.
1.5/2 with a light progressive detune. It’s very close to the butter tune MO has mentioned.
As for the energy. If you aren’t loading them they feel quite damp. However if you are really pushing it at speeds they return in spades. Trying to post my conversation with a friend that took mine up today. He loves them so far.
Any ski comparison for the energy/rebound? I’m trying to replace the old school Fischer Ranger 102 FR that was pretty damp but would give lots of rebound when pushed hard!
I’ve skied the blizzard Cochise and the Enforcer 104 which I found to be a bit “dead” even when pushed hard. My sender free 110 in a 190CM however is not and gives that nice “launch” feel when loaded up.
Anyways, this is what I’m agonizing over and is keep me from putting through my order!
I’m on the HL R One Ten which is the same build. It’s more damp than the Mantra One O Two and lays trenches in spring ice/slush just as well.
I don’t ski slow. So I’m not looking for a poppy build. But this layup hauls ass and delivers more energy exiting a turn than I had expected.

Sounds like another order maybe getting placed on these.

Radskier, Im ~160 lbs and am triangulating based on my 180 FR110 and 180 R99AM. I have no trouble bending my FR110 to generate noticeably more rebound on firm snow than my OG Cochise that was my DD for a few years. The OG Cochise felt pretty dead, while the FR110 feels fun. The AM100 (and AM110) has a little camber underfoot, so I have no doubt it will deliver even more rebound energy than the FR110. I cant wait to get my AM100s for next season.</p>
The 100 has been my DD this last month. Just buy it. This ski is perfect for low tide into slush bumps.
“Just buy it” is the right advice. It’s an incredible ski, and if for some reason you don’t love it MO will take it back

Very interested in HL threads..…You being a long time Volkl guy/ ….sounds like the HL skis are the real deal? Can I replace my beloved fourteen’ OG Katanas?Quote:

Just need to push a little to get the rebound. 90-95% as damp as cochise (really more damp in some ways, but a cochise’d whole character is damp/dead, and its stiffer, so its a more dominant feeling), but 200x as poppy once up to speed. Thats for the heavier beta. Production 100s would be even livelier
Anyone splitting time between the AM100 and the FL105? Trying to imagine use cases for each. Other than the obvious difference in mount point (are most folks otl with the AM, back, forward?) curious to hear more from folks with decent time on both.
I absolutely love my FL105, to go so far as it is probably my single favorite ski ever. So damn versatile, and everyday I am on it is a pleasure. Considering if an AM100 might be a useful addition.
I have a R105 and have an am 100 coming for next year. I also live in SW CO, so I end up using low tide skis way more than I’d like. I have R87 for truly firm days and picked the am100 to be a more playful addition for skiing with the kiddo. R105 is probably my favorite ski of all time but it’s more for when I’m skiing solo or with the boys
Yeah, I have an RC85 for those firm groomer days, so this would be something different. Is the AM100 just a relaxed FL105/R100? Seems I hear a lot about how fast they want to go!
Help! Want to mount my 180cm AM 100s today and I can no longer find the recommended mount point range on the HL site. Was there…. Now not??? I only see a general statement that the modern Freeride skis range from -4.5cm and -8cm. Huge range and unsure if it varies by model. Also to find center measure tail to tip straight pull or mark a line on bench vertically from tip and tail??? Loved the from tail data.
Now see a mount point of 83.0 from tail but recall a range and want to lean traditional v progressive.
Straight pull to find center.
I mounted at -8 cm with a 295 mm boot sole
I think I could go -7 cm
I prefer rearward mounts

Recommended was -6 cm for progressive and - eight cm for traditional

Shit, Hoarhey. Coming through with the quick reply. -7 seems the play. Thank you.Quote:

Thanks again, Hoarhey.
You are right in the sweetspot with that mount! give'r
Thanks for the confirm! Overdue to gets these on snow. With two young kids at home, shop time gets harder and harder to find. Been rocking the AM R99s a bunch which has contributed to my slow moving motivation. Do I really need both? Time will tell.Quote:
