    With weight, technique and a serious power reserve, one can charge a lot of conditions but it's basically a brodozer for beginning experts. Master skiers bailed on it as lacking response and needlessly heavy. In a word, it's a plank.
    Just one opinion tho. I'm sure some mag lives and dies by them.

    I'da argued that mx98 was a rather one trick pony but it's a thoroughbred compared to the XXL Percheron.
    At the end of the day, the best skier can make pretty much any ski dance, yes?

    I am intrigued by the delamming of so many burly metal skis at the heel.
    Hmmmm. You don't land a lot of back seat airs do ya?
    I loved the xxl. I will look around for one. I had 2nd generation legend pro back in the day and loved that

    I have a pair in 194 that you can have if you're interested.

    I have 2 pair of 1st gen LPR's that I'd never sell and still ski plenty.

    I'd have to inspect as they were left at my place by a mag. Not minty but maybe average or better for the vintage. I'll let ya know when I'm back from Vacay.

    Yours for free. Shipping on you and likely the clamps are janky so would send flat unless you actually wanted the jankers. Whatevs.

    Come up to JH, take laps wit me and I'll intro you to the IGGy boss and get yas on some of his demos.

    I'm your huckleberry.

    I came to the Group B Dynastar family after many years (as a 6'5" / 220-250# human) on the plastic topsheet Iggies, most interestingly an early proto-pair of 240 flex 190 corvid FFFs that blasted the brains of some Cham shop monkeys during a season there ("trop gros pour les pistes!") plus multiple 270 flex FFLs. Eventually picked up some Super Nobis and never looked back.

    The skis Parris is turning out these days are works of art and I'd love to find a reason to get a pair at some point (#treatyoself) and everyone that crossed the threshold of that factory deserves credit for creating the archetype of a proper charging ski.

    @skideeppow: There is no better (certainly no cheaper) way to dampness and durability than the Group B Dynastars (LPs, XXLs, Big Dumps). XXLs, as Dj noted, are the sled of the family (41m radius), but the big girls can sing. If you ski someplace that trends smooth you'll probably like them more than someplace that gets troughed out.

    @Djongo - I'm buying Group B dynastars if you're holding, and I'd love to take a lap with you on them next time I am at the Village (sadly, rare these days).

    @The world - I'll pay good money for a good condition Super Nobis, and some money for any condition Super Nobis or pinstripe/metal tip protector 194 LPs.

    Can confirm: This man's garage is the main supply node for the US Strategic Dynastar Reserve. Don't tell the Russians.
