Just don't ski lp105s if you want to remain happy with your Goliaths.

Interesting. Never skied either but both have caught my eye before. Not sure I need that type of ski this year though.

Think I'm on:
185 praxis pows
192 GPOs
192 Bros
195 superbros
195 igneous (something)
181 Caylors
183 m103
18X bros of some type for touring
220 Salomon dh

Not sure if the GPOs or Bros will survive the year. Seems hard to justify both. Currently mulling over skinny, stiff RXs in case the Heads die but I probably could pick up another cheap pair

So many long skis. You need to work on your fitness.

I'd say you need some floaty long pow skis to round that quiver out.

Mine are mounted with Solly's on the line for a 307 boot so I think it shouldn't be a problem.

I like the Goliath's but I like the lp105s more better.

Hmm... I'm thinking that joke might be played out...

F' Rad -- BGs, Protests and undrilled bros...drool. Have you skied the 88 monsters? Considering picking up the 83s @177cm but not sure if I'll regret not going 184.

We have almost identical touring quivers....

I haven't. Just mounted them Tuesday. I read that the 83's are a lot softer than the 88's. The 88 is nice and stiff. It feels really good. Reminds me of the flex of the OG mantra. I'm excited to see them. I don't think a 184 would be necessary.

Interesting...some people have told me the 83s are just slimmed down 88s but otherwise similar flex. I'm cool with a little shorter for mobility in bumps and trees...but want something sig stiffer than say -- my Yetis -- for hardpack, esp if they are only 177.

That's exactly why I bought the monsters. I skied my yetis last year with alpine clamps at Alpy on ice and they were terrifying. The monsters are waaayyy stiffer. And full camber. Size down.

I couldn't find any rocker on those 88s. My 108s have little, but discernible, rocker. 177 monster 88 is probably the perfect east DD and west shitsnow ski. But I would probably opt for the 184 cuz TGR

[Banh Mi]

Why did they have to make the 88 the prettiest?!

It's pretty shameful to not be on the longest length.

Idk this is Lindahl, quoted from Blister

"Jonathan will be talking more about sizing w/r/t this Monster series of skis in his upcoming review of the Monster 98, but for the Monster 88, our recommendation is not to size up. In this narrower width, you still get good stability out of the 177 cm model, while also getting a ski that works well in moguls and tight spaces."

He also says you're skiing Zeus' pro model. Which is true

if 177 is plenty stable, 184 will be extra stable. If only it came in a 191. 191 = ultra extra stable.

[Banh Mi]

Its almost stupid how stable it is. You just zoom by everyone, yet it feels like just another stroll through the park. These things will get your pass pulled if your not careful. They make you want to ski figure 11, and they make it easy.

The 191 108 is really not that hard to ski at all, as long as your in semi-open terrain. Its not for noodling around at slow speeds, or anything very technical, but can easily handle bumps, and wider spaced trees at medium speeds just fine. Im sure the 98 and 88 just get easier.

Its like the camber and sidecut are really engaging, and there is quite a lot of "help" translating your input to the ski. The flex of the ski is like a 2x4, but squeezing the camber together is significantly easier than squeezing the camber of my noodly K2s. I have no idea how they make such a plank so easy to de-camber. Im not a very traditional skier, and although I cant "slarve" with them, they will perform bases flat, quick, precise movements and speedchecks really easily.

I find the sidecut on my 191 Wrens more "locked in", and straight. The wrens are harder to ski moguls with, than the 191 Monsters. The wrens are pretty close to as stable and smooth, maybe 85%, yet without the weight of the metal, so they float better..

The only flaw in the monster is weight, but that also makes them so smooth. Luckily, the weight is all underfoot, or atleast thats how they feel. The swing weight and balance feels phenomenal for how heavy they are. You only notice the weight at the very end of the day.

In short, its an amazing ski. One of my favorites, and my favorite non-On3p. Just slightly beating out the 191 Katana. The monsters are even more smooth than 191 Katanas, and even though they both have higher speed limits than I, I assume the Monster is more stable at mach looney.

Done. $200 shipped for 177cm Monster 83s flat.

If I was revamping the quiver entirely, maybe 88s would've made more sense. But now I've got alpine spacing of: 83 -> 99 -> 112 -> 118, and touring spacing of 94 -> 112.

Now, got to sell those ugly K2s for a nickle. And mount up the Monsters for a new quiver pick.

Still have those big dumps? I want to try a pair sometime.

[Self Jupiter]

Speaking of steamrollers, did a mag buy those 200CM Stockli Stormrider pro? They were in Colorado discount skis and their eBay seller name. I was not man enough, would have bought if the 190 length - those were the not two lengths that ski came in. Last big man burly man ski stockli made or so I've heard . Betelgeuse- that may be the only burlier ski out there with a relatively ''modern' shape

[skibrd]

I didn't see them or I would of grabbed them. They sound like a challenge

[S.B.]

Right to left:
AK JJ brand new, either these or the patrons are going to have to go
193 Patrons, got them cheap
192 TSTs, got them cheap as well
189 One Life, I'm excited to see how the rocker will feel on these things
184 ARV 96, fun everyday ski
183 Odyssey, got them in a trade, stiff as 2x4s
179 Pettitor, perfect east coast tree ski for me
178 $25 GS skis, for that price I'll give race skis a go
177 soul riders, my favorite ski last season, now early and late season duties
174 Steeple 102, first touring ski
172 Lib Tech Backwards, spring/backyard ski
159 Icelantic Pilgrim, ski from two years ago, I guess I'm keeping them for sketchy ice days
Boots
Full Tilt First Chair 10, love these boots, stiff but not painful
Full Tilt Drop Kick, got these for $20 at a ski swap, backups in case the others break or get wet

So if I was to sell the jjs or the patrons, what would be an approximate amount to ask? Patrons have 1.5 mounts, one for fks and then the demo mount but I reused holes, and the jjs have only one mount and have never seen snow.
