He did say he ordered them softer than stock. I imagine stock to provide more stiffness in the tail akin to the older 108s and overall stiffness result in it being a bit chargier.

It was likely more down to my relative lack of conditioning, but they were heavy and sluggish and the tails were especially noticeable. Like I said tho, wrong skis for the day. There was, at best, 3-inches on top of a bulletproof base. The soft stuff in the shade was magical (pro-tip: grab laps thru the park on the extreme skiers left/right for shady stashes). The setup stuff in the Sun wasn’t so much fun and the scraped out boilerplate even less so.
Happy Valentines Day, those look amazing
Will we see a stock Billy Goat 118 tour moving forward?
Those are the new BG 118s? What a nice looking topsheet.

Throwing up my brand new ON3P Jeffrey 100 (181) mounted with Look Pivot 14 Bindings. Willing to sell with or without the binding https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...07#post7028607.
Interested in all the positive feedback on the Jeff 118 by the way. Seems like a fun ski.
Buy them. Just ski em neutral. They pivot on a dime, very stable platform off cliffs and can truck through chop with trophy truck like suspension and are ok on the groomers back to the lift. Im 210lbs on a 191

If the PNW didn't have such a bleak outlook for snow I probably would. I want to replace these Jeff 100s I am selling i.e. looking for something in the 98-104 range. I think I bought the Jeffs to short at 181 so might buy the 186 instead. Were just felt way too short (other skis tend to be right around the 181-182 range and most skis I've been on are mounted -3 to -6 so its not an unfamiliar type of ski for me).
I have owned both a 181 and 186 J118. 181 was harder for me to enjoy because the stability wasn’t there and it was hard to trust the ski at times. 186 is a definite improvement. I think I could even get along with 191s, but that might be overkill for me. But yes, Jeff’s ski short.
Are we going to go the entire season without a new BG? Jump right to '24-'25?
What’s your height and weight? I’m 5’ 8” / 140 lbs, didn’t start skiing until my 30s so I make mistakes / don’t ski perfectly all the time … I couldn’t imagine owning a 186 cm straight pull ski for that quiver slot. Really wish I bought your 181s last year but I was working on other quiver priorities that I have since figured out!

Looks like it to me. They have been saying it will be released soon for a while now.

nice new sticks Sessiøn and good to see that the offspring have good taste wrt skis Bandit
Jeff100 181s should compliment you WD110 182s perfectly. Best prepare for having fun though - Jeffs are super fun spring skis imho (if my time on Kartels is any indication).
No. They have been in production for a while now and should be made available for purchase any day.
Why not, we can say the same about the season as well. I can’t say there’s been a day this season I’ve missed them even though I spent most of the last couple months waiting for a release. Did have a good first day out touring on Jeff110 today, worth the weight penalty when dealing with variable snow
