Interesting on both accounts. Now just have to decide on bindings for these things..... alpine or tele

**marshalolson** · 12-13-2006, 12:44 PM

i for sure makes sense to make your shortest, softest ski alpine, and tele on the big stiff, heavy sticks

I drilled em with a 3.5 and had no issues. They drilled easily and didn't feel like any metal in there.

As for the centered feeling, I think I just need to work it out. They just feel so money in pow I can't imagine moving em back really. The hardpack feeling is kind of cool, like I could take em in the park and spin em no problem...I'll be skiing them a ton soon and will report back...

I think it makes sense

Actually these will get tele bindings. The M103s work great for the days I alpine. So the quiver of tele sticks looks like this, Proto 196 Squads, Production 194 Squads, EHPs, and then of course 195 B3/B4 for screwing around/night skiing. Then there are all the skis that just never get used. But I think I have some overlap on the 190+ length skis

**marshalolson** · 12-13-2006, 02:39 PM

yeah dude, that is about as much overlap as my 190 120's, 192 138's, 190 FFF, 190 FFL, 200 FFL lineup.

Yes, that is ridiculous. Ridiculous that you dont have a 200 FFF in that lineup

**lemon boy** · 12-13-2006, 03:23 PM

I have allowed 262 posts to go by w/o comment but I can't contain myself any longer. I don't *need* 200FFF Candys, but I do want some.

That is another ski I "need". Kind of like I "needed" to eat all of the ginormous cheesesteak I had for lunch. Looking back, maybe I "needed" to lay up

**soul_skier** · 12-13-2006, 03:57 PM

wasn't someone trying to convince stephan to do a 202 lotus 138?

**lemon boy** · 12-13-2006, 03:59 PM

first should be the 198 120 then the 0238

I said "MAYBE I needed to lay up". Gheez for a skinny guy you are kind of a pest

**lemon boy** · 12-13-2006, 04:29 PM

at least I don't ever even think about laying up

or at leat admit to it publicly

**mountain_man** · 12-13-2006, 04:29 PM

Those Lotus120 198's will be some ski.

ok...getting this thread back on-track...

just did a freehand mount of NX21s to the EHPizzles. would have been a great ski to have out there today with up to knee deep pow (heavy!) when they opened thunder, but, alas, i have been lazy and didn't mount or wax the skis. if i get around to mounting them tonight i might take 'em out on the hill tomorrow. would be good for the (eventual) opening of sublette. it's still a good time to test skis for resistance to rock damage, although coverage is generally better than you would think -- the heavy wet stuff we've been getting has been doing a decent (but not fully tahoe-esque) like job of covering the rocks.

(including a little something for skier666 in that one)
