well I havent skied that many but IME the 2011 red hybrid lotus 120 had a advertise radius of LOTS I think it might have been 38M
edit the 190 was 46 M I think it was the 184 that was 38M in any case I have both and they are EASY to ski

Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know
Mfree99 for certain.
I would guess the HL am100 is quite loose as well.
4frnt raven?
Black crows daemon that was reverse camber.
If wider, 182 mfree108, hl fr/r110, 4frnt hoji, the reverse camber Corvus, 4frnt devastator, billygoat 110.
Praxis Piste Jibs. Haven’t tried the MVP 94 but I bet it’s got the loose feel too.
any ski you file the shit out of

we had a thread on rockered skis? good options on that
black crow damian. I have 3 pairs, cuz hoarding
This will be contrary to most opinions here but the HL bc ninety is a really great ski. Hiking side country laps yesterday and then returning to the lifts via skied out groomers and slushy bumps was really fun. They’re probably the loosest sub one hundred ski that I can think of. The flex pattern is dialed, bias towards tip stiffness and a forgiving tail. They’re really quiet given the weight, more so when going fast and on edge. I could see using a longer length, one ninety one, as an all mountain ski. They’re a great balance of weight and performance for me.
I bet snowblades feel pretty loose.
And yeah, I’m digging my BC[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]’s too.
Gravity always wins...

Did the mount point on the daemon change? I had an old pair that I loved (black/gold) and I currently have a new pair that are mostly white that I don’t seem to get along with

I’m at work, they were delivered today. I’m going to ski them this coming week. Part of the reason I bought them was my love of the bc ninety, Raven and reverse Corvus. Wanted a narrower reverse with a lift served build.Originally Posted by [emoji6[emoji640
Curious to hear more thoughts on the Daemon, I can’t recall seeing a pair even in a shop.
Not OP, but have a modifying request:
What about more traditional mounting + loosest ski?
When we think of loose, most of those skis are in the -4 to -8 range. What about -9 to -11?
2014+ ON3P Wrenegade? I’ve always found them to be incredibly stable at speed but loose and easy to pivot around in tight space. Their “charger” rep held from <2013, but the ski got a lot easier to handle as it evolved. Early data point but they are similarly “loose” to the HL AM100.
Uno mas
Let’s not move the goalposts about what’s loose. Any ski with camber won’t be as loose as full reverse
Looseness is a function of either short effective edge or a soft or easy releasing tail.On trad mounts this is more about the detune.
Move upside and let the man go through...
The recommended mount on the bc ninety is minus ten, I ski mine at minus eight. I’ve changed my stance and no longer like constantly driving into the cuffs. There are probably a lot of skis that you could mount more traditionally and get a pretty loose feel with a tune.
MU- No doubt re. Reverse - but there are skis that are an exception to this (e.g. M-Free is remarkably loose but with a legit amount of camber). Additionally, A major detune certainly loosens things up, but it also deletes edge-grip.
I ask because after years of skiing traditional skis (Raceroom Legend Pros, Explosives, etc.) my mounts have been creeping forward - m-free / Enforcer 104 / FR110 / Renegade / etc.
I skied some Mindbenders with a -9.5 mount and I'm not gonna lie - it felt pretty good to be a bit further back. Short of just mounting something rearward of recommended, what else is out there?
Having owned both mFree one oh eight and the reverse Corvus both in the longest length, the Corvus was significantly looser than the mFree ever with relatively zero taper, way longer effective edge and a flat tail. I’m sold on reverse unless it’s firm groomers.
lots of loose skis over a hundie under foot, I'm mostly interested in the skinny slarve
? I think Ravens are really playful but you have to go pretty fast, they’re fine noodling around getting to the goods too.Originally Posted by Wes Mantooth;[emoji[emoji6[emoji640
