How to know if your LP's are 90mm or 97mm??

[Smails]

I know the LP's with this years top sheet are obviously 97, as are last years model with the metal tips. But I am correct to think there are LP's with the original bright orange graphics (and no metal tips) in both 90mm waist and 97mm waist? As I believe this is the case, is there a way to determine which LP's I have based on markings on the ski?

I did a search and didn't find anything . . .

a ruler?
AFAIK the 186s always had a 97mm waist; only early versions of the 194s had a 90mm waist. certainly if they have metal tip protectors they'll be 97 at the waist

I believe the 186 LP's were all 97mm waist. The 194s for the first year they made them were 90mm in the waist and the same ski as the Super Nobis.

you could always just measure them 25.4mm = 1 inch.

edit: Arno beat me to it.

Done, they are 186. Thanks boys

another LP question, for those that have been on both:

i am really digging som super nobis i picked up on the cheap. is the 97mm 194 going to ski super similar, just +7? or do they have a bit different of a feel.

thanks
