It is money. In the right snow…

Those bases are unbelievable. What a score. That rocker profile looks money with the low camber.

I’m really pumped on it. I know the 187 was pretty dialed so I’m hoping I’m getting some of the positive traits from both.

What’s the mount point on the newest gen BGs?

[The Iron Horse]

191 is -10.5, .25 cennies forward per size from there.

The 181 is actually -9.5 (81cm from the tail) although it is listed as -10 on the website. I contacted ON3P about the discrepancy and they replied that the chart on the website was mistakenly listing flat mount vs final. Not sure if that pertains to all the lengths.

Little looser, little less versatile?

Thanks.
Didn’t know they had started putting it on the site.

Looking forward to hearing peoples views on the bg108.

No… it’s just not the right tool for dust on boilerplate snow. Anything soft and 3+ inches deep and they’re glorious. They’re just a lot to manage on icy boilerplate, scraped-off groomers. The Jeffrey 108 is much more composed in these conditions. Still not awesome, but are less of a problem child.

I mean a 118 ski on boilerplate is usually not a good combo, but good to know. Pretty stoked on this less camber situation

Not at all. I actually felt the soft snow performance was unchanged. However they felt more composed going fast in chunder.

funny I found myself skiing much faster and more composed than I expected down crusty low elevation groomers back to the lift in a year where the only quality snow was on upper 1/3. Probably just anecdotal. No idea why that would be on current iteration and less camber. But I surprised myself. Or the J118 surprised me. Oh and so so surfy in pow. I ski mine at -1.5cm.

Seems like they'd be kinda similar to a Wildcat? Maybe not as stiff? Any insight on that?

I have skied 184 WC's. In comparison, the 186 Jeff requires a more neutral stance. You can drive the WC's shovels harder. The WC's are stiffer, feel more precise and are better on firm. The Jeffs have better float, suspension, and are significantly surfier. They are quicker and more nimble in tight spaces for me as well. More of a true pow ski that handles variable really well whereas the WC is more of a wider all mountain ski that also floats.

I had the Chipotle Blades in my cart but bought the finds BG instead.

Was it a sign that I needed to 4/20 blade it with the grizzly corn blade?

(My favorite top and base)

My custom stiffer Kartel116s were not nearly as planky underfoot (in the cambered section) as Wildcats.

I would imagine that the rounder flexed ON3P - much like Rossi Blackops118 I might add - would ski variable significantly smoother at less than mach schnell for more neutral (stance) skiers than the WC.

I know that people love their Wildcats, and having not skied it I might be talking out of my ass - but to me that shape seems like it could be made more versatile with a slightly rounder flex offset with a more advanced construction taking up the slack - meaning adding some rubber, titanal or other dampening agent. Kinda like DPS Koala118/119s - great in dry snow, increasingly more work the denser/wetter then snow become - so very dissimilar to BGs and Jeffs (having only skied jeffs though) which are great in denser snow, or again BlackOps 118 who mate shape and construction in a way to make something very loose also very capable across most conditions.

BG108tours are live!

Damn only two posts about the minicorns... You'd think they'd get more hype. Announced too late? Too pricey?

[SkiLyft]

I think ON3P has turned to “yawwwnns” around here.

Blades have never made any sense to me. No clue why they are made or why someone would spend money on them. I would rather spend my money on real skis than joke skis, but that's just me. They are cool looking, though.

[CascadeLuke]

I don’t get em. Why would I want a ski that’s almost half of the length I enjoy?

Oh for christ's sake they are a novelty product. Fun to build, fun to ski. No, not cheap, but Moment sells out of the their Chipotle Banana blades in minutes every season. If you don't have a pair of straight skis in your garage, a mono ski in your saved searches, and at least 2 costumed ski events on your annual calendar they're probably not for you. That's ok. The Shane McConkey types will be hooting and hollering on dumb mini skis while the Rudi Garmisch types gaze on in bewilderment.

[Ed el Loco]

Looks like all kinds of stupid fun. Don’t weigh much. Hike them up a patch of corn snow, ski down, drink beer, repeat. If I had 4 bills laying around I’d be all over it.

[K1mJ0ngTr1ll]

Having the opposite issue than having short… blades.

I skied a Jeffery 110 I picked up off the finds and sweet jesus they ski short. I don’t remember the 118 from last year feeling like that. If I was in trees all the time they would be money but steep and open I felt under gunned. I snagged the 191 108 from the finds to see if the added length would help. Anyone else size up on Jeff’s from their other skis?

I am quite glad I ordered the 191 in the 118 I think it will still be plenty playful at my size.

Context. I’m 6’1 220.

I went with a stiff layup Jeff 110 and I think the stiffness made up the difference in length. I’m on a 186 Jeff 110 and it feels more than ample. I tried a 181 to see if I could get away with a shorter length to make spinning faster and it felt extremely short.

Much shorter but I’m only 10lbs less than you
