    I ended up with #19 of who knows how many. I currently have them standing against the wall in my bedroom and I think my GF may be getting jealous.


    Now for a harder question that I haven't seen a good answer to: with a Sqauwlpine Meadows season pass, is it worth it to go for a slackcountry binding like the dukes or just put up with my trekkers?

    Bmath, congrats on the skis. I'm trying to find a pair of the 196 but can't locate a pair. If I do find some I may need to purchase sight unseen.

    Can you post the actual length of your pair. Are they a true 196? I'm assuming so as the 186 measures just about 185/6.

    fkna thanks so much most of my pictures suck and truth will make fun of me but super stoked for the opportunity to check out the coolness that is going on off west temple in the 2900 block.
    Way cool to get your growing up in Sandy perspective of slc and it's quirks and sweetness of the goods that is why most of us are here and the whole cycle of park rat to powder and who knows what kind of hover skis or the possibilites of the next generations of snow sliding tools.
    This is so cool it's worthy of it's own thread will call or email for details remember most

    thanks again fkna stoked for yous to be out there in the forefront of cool stuff going down and local skibums makin skis. Saga seems to be the popular employee vehicle stickerz
    heavy perhaps

    butt sexy as fuck IMO butt of course
    thanks again
    will work 4 sexy hoji skies

    Thanks Dibbs!

    Good to meet the skifishbum legend in person!

    That first photo is of pallets of skis, bindings and boots we are recycling as part of a partnership with SIA, Burton and REI in the Salt Lake area.

    We'll start a proper thread on it once it's up and running.

    Right arm they throw that legend moniker around sillytude I prefer eccentric skibum of possible noteworthiness or something to that effect myself.
    Once I can ski hopin to get on a renegade bet that 196 would tear up some wolvie or ivory flakes bonker on down in a few mindblowing turns type terrain
    I may just have a spair dynaduke plate for something cool like that.
    Like I said anything WPS or I can do to assist you in the future I'm stoked on.
    as is sfotex on his new sticks

    good thing the shop didn't screw it up

    It's sort of like THC infused honey hitting your ears.

    SFB, when you're back on your feet, come by and we'll sort you out with our shop demo pair whenever you want.

    dreaming of 196 i have on order with shop in montana. Can't wait for the triad quiver to be completed. Renegade is so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

    ^^ What's your height/weight? (Almost asked "How big are you" )

    Did you find the 186 too small? Unstable? Going over the handlebars? Or did you just want rocketships for your quiver? Interested on your thoughts on the 196 vs 186 after you have some time on the big sticks.

    Got a very shaky order in with a retailer, hope it all comes out ok. I know I asked before but can someone tell me how the 196s measure strait pull tip to tail? Very excited to possibly have these this season.

    I just measured, and they're true to size within about half a centimeter. I put up a post with images showing the measurements but a mod hasn't approved it yet.

    I received word I will most likely not be seeing them until after the new year.

    Until then can someone post a profile pic of the 196? Just want to get an idea of the rocker profile of the 196.
