While i am pretty new to the brand, having looked through your previous marketing booklets i think your current graphic design is the best ever.

W108 is not going away. We're pretty happy with 108 as the best width for everyday west coast skiing.

Sounds good to me. I will grabbing a 189 108 next season for sure.

Good news.
It's really a near perfect everyday ski for CO too.

i must admit to it being a new and kinda good feeling to be super thrilled about next years graphics, yet be so completely satisfied with my current wren108 that i feel absolutely no need to "upgrade". I think it goes back to two of the things that won me over and made me switch brands (1) the build quality and knowing that your skis will last as long as you want them to (and then probably be replace more to you wanting something new than that the skis are worn out) and (2) absolute confidence in the designs/geometries of the skis (something i have only grown to appreciate more after getting on the wrens). Happy days indeed.

not to be overly positive or anything - most lightly i will find things that i think can be improved/changed in the various on3p skis i own now and when i do i will suggest em

It might be that those suggestions will be a short cut to ruining the skis, but i'll share em anyways. Riding 179 skis i think i am a minority in here

and yes, my quiver just went full mongoloid - will post photos when it is completed.

I would buy the shit out of a Wren with a wren on it. It could be called the Troglodyte if you want.

He had a good obedience foundation when I left him (sit, stay, down, come) but in the past 4 months I guess he started maturing into huge nuisance for my parents..

He started pulling on leash, humping and jumping, which was too much for my aging parents. He is 180lbs and pretty hyper as a puppy. He is my responsibility and I shouldnt have left him honestly. I got ahead of myself going to Big Sky without him.

I have been with him for 2 weeks, and he already has made a complete turn around. I have been training him everyday, socializing him with dozens of people and other dogs, and he is acting like a respectable dog again. He doesn’t act up around me though, never has. I kind if think my parents were overhyping his issues, and didn’t want to take care of him anymore, and I dont blame them.. Both their dogs died last year, and they want to travel.

I was also pretty much broke.. I can make twice the money in Tahoe, which made me feel a little better about leaving. I plan on going back once I can actually take care of all my responsibilities while there..

Any comparisons to skis that you don't think you'd have to dial back in those same conditions? I'm really thinking K108 and BGs will round out my quiver too.

I had the K108 out again today in packed powder and they were great. As long as I was in a neutral centered stance they would carve, slarve, and power through piles. Also fun in the bumps.

I really think yesterday would have been a Billygoat day if I owned them.

Oh FFS... were' talking 3-4mm difference!

(and while I much prefer the the Wren 108 over the old 112, the slightly narrower waist is only a small part of that equation compared to the flex and tail and tip changes)

**klauss** · 02-08-2018, 10:55 PM

My slightly increased flex Wren 108s are the future IMO.

but, I'm kinda on the fence until a 107 comes out.

You have the extra carbon in your pair? Any comparison to your old wrens?

This season, the perfect CO ski has tank tracks for bases.

Indeed... me too!

Also, the ornithologist in me wants to "like" the hell out of your post...

yeah, the customs I got are only slightly stiffer than stock 189 108s. Versus older 191s, they feel similar underfoot, but noticeably easier going in tips and tails. Easier to get them into tighter turn shapes. Still a ski that likes speed to get em to fully listen to you, just require less velocity than previous 191s. I still find them very stable, even with all the updates that make them a more playful shape than previous iterations. I could ski them every day for sure, but have some other sticks for deeper days (BGs) and icy days (Brahmas). Favorite ON3Ps to date, closely followed by 189 BGs. Likely would be happy with stock flex if I were under 2 hundy, but glad I had em add some beef.

Question for powtron, iggy, or anyone in the know: what's the scene usually like for a demo day at a place like Stevens? Will be heading up tomorrow and trying to figure out the game plan. Do you usually have waits for the popular model/sizes?

when I've gone it's never been too much of wait, sometimes the exact ski I wanted is out on the hill, so I'd try something different. Not that big of a deal.

Thanks, just need to secure a spot in the lot and it shall be a good day of riding the best skis ever made!

**thebrucemac** · 02-09-2018, 01:49 PM

Had wanted to order a pair of customs this year, but couldn't really swing it or justify it, let alone decide on pink or black. would love to see what all the fuss is about and everything I've read leads me to believe the W108 would serve me well. I'm tempted to just pull the trigger on stock and be done with it, but when do the 2018/2019 skis drop or more specifically when will we get a look at next year's topsheets? Next September'ish? Probably not the best time to buy, but I'd really like to try them this season. I'm making pizza and fries this weekend, so can't make the demo I heard may be happening.
