    I know, I was just saying. I’m going to get out on the daemons tomorrow or Wednesday.

    The bc ninety is the loosest sub hundred ski I’ve been on

    Same with the OG mvp. Not quite as greasy as full reverse but damn close.

    Most loose feeling skis

    Daemons are the loosest ski that I’ve been on. More so than the reverse Corvus by a lot. Like the Corvus the published turn radius is longer than it says. Soothski has the Corvus at twenty six meters and the Daemon feels similar,maybe a touch longer. You can roll your ankles and drive and they rail. Drift and slash at will, zero hookiness. They’re really similar to the Raven and bc Ninety but with beef.

    Looking forward to more three dimensional snow.

    Looks to me like forthcoming Volkl Revolt 101 might be loose. Just depends if they keep it as low camber and thin core underfoot as most of the other skis they make.

    I can't say I agree with this. It is nowhere near as loose as my M-Free 118s or Ravens.

    To the point where after a period where I only skied the 118s/ravens, I felt like I forgot how to ski when I got back on the MVP 108. It was tricky snow conditions, but it took a few runs to remember that you have to do more than just "think about" releasing the tails.

    The MVPs aren't locked in feeling like a less playful ski, but the tails still take some work to break free. Maybe I could force them to be more loose with some aggressive detuning but that's not really what I want them for.

    The ravens obviously do it with full rocker, but the 118s actually have quite a lot of camber and stiffness yet still break loose easy.

    Most loose feeling skis

    At one point I owned the 189 Menace Proto 118 and 193/187 OG MVP and skied them back to back a handful of times and I thought they were similarly loose the way I had them set up, both aggressively detuned from the rocker points and not all that sharp overall.

    Both skis felt like ~7-8/10 on my personal Schmearyness rating, with skis like a Volkl One being ~9 and Praxis PBs being 10/10.

    I’ve had more time on the daemon, I should have said loosest sub hundred skis, duh. When it starts to get more than boot top soft snow they loose their loose feel but are still really predictable and easy to turn.

    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

    Fun? Skiing is fun right?

    What’s the point of a ski over a hundred waist with camber? Fun. Different strokes for….

    Well the big cambered skis can rail turns on edge in shit snow which nothing else really can. I guess I don’t really understand what a sub-hundred full rocker can really do uniquely. Most fun on soft but even snow?

    wide open, but chalky, firmish terrain, that is steep, and limited/no bumps.

    I find it amazing for skiing lake louise area.

    Most loose feeling skis

    The Daemon is nearly as floaty as a Corvus, better edge hold, lower swing weight and looser. My bc ninety is light, lightning quick, surprisingly floaty and has better edge grip than anything over a hundred. Plus they’re really fun.

    I was railing turns through crud and soft bumps yesterday on Daemons, earlier I was on r one tens. Didn’t notice much difference except the Daemons were quicker and lighter.

    Modern ski design has improved narrower skis too.
