    Blizzard Titan 9. Anybody skied it?

    So, after delaming the third pair of Blizzard Titan 8.2s last year, they're being warranteed with this year's Titan 9.

    Anybody had the opportunity to demo them? And, anyone have an idea what the street price will be for an unmounted pair? I'll be looking to unload them since I've got a full quiver of skis.

    I'll trade your 9s for an un-delammed pair of 8.2s.



    Interested in the delam. Where? How bad? After how many days?

    Nope, no desire for your 190 8.2s.

    Delamed at various places along the ski. The sidewall would develope a crack between the black plastic sidewall and the metal edge. The crack would start small and lengthen and widen fairly rapidly until you could easily get a fingernail into it and pressing on the topsheet and edge could make the width vary visibly.



    The first pair of skis was by far the most advanced before I noticed it at around 30 days of skiing, the others I noticed at somewhere around 20 days if that.
