Sorry if this is answered elsewhere in the thread, but I couldn't find it: what are the edge bevels on the am100s if we got them before MO started offering different tunes? Mine need to be sharpened up after taking some woods run in light cover...

I want to say 1.5/2

Ripped my AM100s on low tide firm as shit conditions at Purg on Sunday. Some of the firmest conditions I can ever remember mid-winter here, and I the AM100 made it not only tolerable, but quite fun! This ski is the ski I didn't know I needed.

[fleaches]

So as we approach the pre-sale deadline, I'm thinking about another HL ski (or two). Currently have the FR110 and had some great days on them, they were exactly what I was looking for in soft snow. But now in CA we haven't really had snow in a month and this reminds me that we can have pretty lousy off piste conditions between storms, at least until spring.

The FR110 is a great "few days after a storm" ski, looking for something that's more of a "few weeks after a storm" ski. So probably like > 50% groomers but more bumps and trees if things warm up. This would probably also get a lot of use for spring skiing. Is the AM100 my ski? Currently I ski a M102 for this purpose.

Also considering an RC85 since I don't have any 80 mm skis right now, but maybe that's just the high pressure talking. Or maybe both. Mostly skiing Palisades/Alpine.

Thoughts?

As a compliment to the FR110, the AM100 makes perfect sense. It's more engaged, easy to put on edge, but still has that "loose" feel off edge. For a 50/50 firm groomer to chalk, low tide off-piste ski that compliments and plays off the best aspects of the FR110... the AM100 is your unicorn. If you want a more directional 80%+ firm goomer ski the RC85 seems like a great choice. The one ski that might bridge that gap is the RC95... really depends on how directional you want to go in this quiver slot.

Smiley is right on - Ive got FR110, AM100 and RC85 and he describes the use cases for each perfectly.

Only thing I’ll add is that RC85 is more of a “game on” ski, so I normally only ski it when I know the groomers will be less crowded and I won’t be skiing with my kids

Yeah im aware that this is the factory standard now. My question was about the hand tune that MO put on these when the hand tune was the only option

I have the HB One Twenty Two, R One Twenty, FR One Ten and the AM One Hundred….totally agree with Smiley. The AM perfectly compliments the FR One Ten and is now my main low tide ski in the current Whistler conditions. I also have a Head SuperShape e-Titan but I prefer ripping groomers on the AM One Hundred or Season Aero (Aero is ninety-six mm underfoot, with metal). They’re both way more versatile/fun than the Heads off piste. PS I haven’t found a speed limit on the AM One Hun yet. It rips!

Anyone else tired of the damn bugs in this website. I can’t even post on the from my laptop. And any numbers on my phone brings out the gremlins. First world problems.

Was under the impression the emoji BS was an ios feature

A lot of stuff on the web browser is also broken though.

Could be that... I'm on android.

Everything seems to be working fine for me except I can’t see most people’s images, but I think that’s on their end. iPhone but a few years old. 1234

Just testing. This is from the browser on Android. No app.

Anyway back to HL skis. asking the same question as above. How do these compare to to many of the usual mainstream suspects at this size (Mantra, Enforcer, Mindbender. Etc)

I’ve skied the mantra 102, enforcer 100, and MB98 though only have a few days on each. My prior favorite ski in this class was the Masterblaster. AM100 is better than all 4 in my opinion.

Easiest way for me to describe the AM is that it is like the masterblaster but with significantly more backbone, and is a much better carver. Masterblaster is a little more “fun” and accessible, but not by much.

Mantra 102 is probably a little more precise as a carver, but its negligible. AM100 is way more damp and easier to pivot quickly.

Not sure there’s anything the mindbender or enforcer do better than the AM100. I liked the mindbender quite a bit, but the AM100 is as good or better in every way.

MO’s build quality, tune, and customer service blows all 4 out of the water as well

This is where I'm at too. 3+ week dry spell has me looking to fill a quiver spot. Currently leaning RC95 because it seems a bit more hard snow oriented. Compared to the AM100, it has more camber, less rocker, a little stiffer, and a longer radius, which all sounds pretty damn fun. It seems like a reasonable assumption that the RC95 will be better on groomers, and better going fast through off groomed crud. I'm guessing the AM100 would be better in softer snow and easier to noodle around on. Basically, the AM100 seems more versatile, at the cost of being really good at anything in particular (which is basically the definition of an all mountain ski).

Personally, I have other skis for soft snow and noodling around, so I'm probably going RC95. I'm kinda leaning towards the 180 length to make them easier in bumps though.

One quick additional thought here...

I think of the AM100 and RC95 as being "the same ski, for different skiers" -- meaning I would use them in the same snow conditions, but the skier is the factor... are you looking for more fore-aft stability from larger camber pocket and looking to drive the shovel? Go for the RC95. Looking for a more progressive mount with a longer more supportive tail and a more slashy ride in tight terrain? Go for the AM100.

[shroom]

goddamnit, I still want both


193 100 - social ski, when Fl105 is out of place/pace

187 95 - when soft groomers are a given, but I may get greedy and want float

[SWskier]

Put me in line for a 193 100
