These beauties arrived today......189 108 Wrens, softer fiberglass. 15/16 BG top sheets.



Weighed in at 2262 and 2269g, compared to Blisters 2283/2290g for the stock version. Not sure why the weights are so close, but I'm not looking for weight savings anyhow, so it hardly matters.

Regarding flex; these are not noodles. I'd say a very solid medium++ - pretty even throughout the skis, stiff-ish underfoot. Compared to my Wren 102s they are stiffer in the tip, similiar elsewhere, maybe a tad softer in the tail, but that might be the rocker flexing. The 102s have 30-40 days on them, so that might be a factor as well.
All in all I'd say they came out a tiny bit stiffer than expected, but with the amount of rocker in these, they should be pretty manageable.

Profile compared to 102s



A lot more tip rocker than the 102s, both deeper and more splay.



And a fair bit more tail rocker



Thanks Iggy!

Looking good

Gorgeous! Jealously awaiting my customs to be ready... The day will come soon enough, but seeing others get theirs really amps up the anticipation.

Yup, gorgeous, they look like they’re really nailing those rocker profiles! Love the looks of those tails, and that top sheet is f n money!

[TahoeJ]

That tip splay on the W 108's = $$$$. They are so good in powder for a ski that's only 108 underfoot.

Same. I keep seeing seemingly done C&D's on their Instagram story, so they can't be that far away.

[kid-kapow]

oh my - that top sheet design is really starting to grow on me, it looks incredibly good. Thanks for sharing / spreading the stoke and for posting the pics!

[Conundrum]

Been holding a new pair of Salomon 916 Steels for the right skis. I was hoping to go Ninja but my Ninja supply dried up. I think these 191 K108s are going to be rad.

C&Ds for touring - some of my finest days in untracked.

Right on... Still anxiously awaiting my pair to be ready. Been a long wait on this pair, but will be so worth it. Provided it snows enough to justify getting them out this year.

I know, man... The wife laughs at me when I scan the background of the pics to see if I can spy mine...

[MHSP1497]

Just got the call from the factory, my C&D’s are ready! Figuring out my day so I can run down there and pick them up.

[theetruscan]

have a pair of 11/12 191 bgs. have never actually sharpened the edges. put a lot of days on them. haven’t ridden them inbounds in a few years. finally rode them inbounds last month. no edges is a bit sketchy getting back to lifts. if i actually put edges on them, where do i detune to? or is it a lost cause, and i should keep them purely for deep/choppy/bc days?

I'd suggest heavy detuning of both tip and tail if you get them sharp throughout. Something like 5cm into the effective edge.

Went down to the Factory yesterday afternoon to pickup my new C&D’s. Shawn was amazing and helpful. The personal tour of the shop was really, really cool. It’s truly impressive to see firsthand the level of detail ON3P puts into everything they do. Some cool new stuff is coming and I can’t wait to see what they do with it!

I will post some pics of the new skis before I mount them later today. The new shape is pretty dramatic, in a good way.

[SupreChicken]

Did you see mine somewhere while you were there?

Dunno, maybe? Saw lots of customs in various stages. There was 1 other pair being shipped out when I was there, but was already all packaged up and I didn’t look at the label.

I don't suppose you saw some custom 184 C&D's with skin clip tails hanging around? Oh, the waiting...

No, but I also didn’t look real hard. So many skis... For all I know, yours could’ve been the ones packaged up and heading out the door when I was there.

This angle shows the asym pretty well, along with the new overall shape.



My 3-Ski quiver (189 C&D’s, 184 BG’s, 186 K98’s)


15/16 184 Billy Goat on top of new 189 C&D... The C&D swallows the BG whole.


Light blue topsheets


Possibly my favorite bases ever...


Jigarex on there, mounting to begin because I mount my own fucking skis!!!

Really dig the light blue

Sick triple threat

MHSP1497, any chance of a profile pic with them pressed together in the middle?

The light blue works for sure. Your quiver is so simple and awesome.
