Soft Snow Gymkhana - The Heritage Lab FR110

[Shorty_J]

Marshal has been talking about the R110 for over a year. Safe to say it should be dialed!

Is it the same slightly softer core profile as the FR110 (I mean vs the 113)?

R110? Where can a moraan like myself see such a thing?

*edit... found it. It's an option on the FR110 page.

Which leads me to my next question-- Which is surfier? FL113 or R110?

/goddamnit.

Sounds like someone should sign up for the email list

But the FL113 will take more speed to come alive and is more directional where the R110 will be quicker to pivot and more surfy. The FR110 will be another full step-change more surfy and pivoty than the R110 and will do even better in wet pow.

But all are going to be super smooth, and nicely responsive

So do the R110’s fit in with the race room R87/99/120? Is there metal?

You're a goddamn genius. Exactly what I was hoping to hear... something between the FL113 and the FR110. Cheers.

Need something for 'tweener days... those days here in JP that aren't dedicated forests or groomers, but dabbling in both. And can also serve Hakuba side country. Was looking for something with this rocker profile and when you said Ren & Mfree 108 made a baby, I kind of freaked out a little bit. I haven't been able to decide between FL113 and FR110.

There were a few other skis on my list, but this finishes my thinking.

I'll work on it. I wasn't prepared to buy skis right now.

(and email list signed... my bad ;-)

Oh great. More email. Just what I need.

I have been half paying attention and I’m trying to pull together what the hell is going on with the R110. I didn’t pull the trigger on FR110 earlier because I bought a bunch of other stuff like a car and a wife and then Christmas and honestly the graphics didn’t really do it for me for an already bloated quiver spot, but I’m paying attention again.

What’s the timeline on those guys? Dimensions/specs? Take my money.

ETA: oh I see now. Thanks for the breadcrumbs gaijin. Hum….

[Mustonen]

I have a grievance, Marshal.

Your website says the 110 are $699 in the category listing but then when I go to the product page it tells me $700.

This is truth in advertising shenanigans and I demand my $1.00 plus appropriate punitive damages.

[Norseman]

In the "R" column on the Mount Distance Table on the FR110 page, there is a 180cm and 193cm size... will the 193 R110 be available in Fall 2024?

I came here to say that I see there is a mount point listed for a 180cm R110... will we see that at some point?

FWIW, three pair sold, two pair left for this season!

But yes, @norseman, @The Iron Horse, et al - I'd like to do a full run of 'em for next fall too.

[pfluffenmeister]

Late to the party.
Wasn't paying proper attention to Marshal's cutting edge shenanigans but just snuck in under the wire.

Picked either the second to last, or the last one!
That rocker profile looks perfect to me. (for a ski like this).

I will promptly start squirreling away the funds!

110 @ -6. Looks kinda weird to be more towards the front than the others. Maybe not.

[carlh]

That sounds awesome and more usable than the fl skis with the lack of open terrain here. Justification plans starting. My ski quiver is currently all black and that needs to change so hopefully they stay colorful.

Cheers, mate. Glad to hear there will be another run as this year is a bit of a surprise on my end.

Just remember that the paper boy that demanded his two dollars died in a tragic ski bike accident

How are peeps finding the durability on these skis? Skiing Bridger bowl right now is a commitment to hitting rocks if you want to have fun. So I keep telling myself I’m gonna keep them on the shelf until we get a 30 inch base. But I’m itching to start skiing them and realistically I’m still gonna hit a ton of rocks when we get to 30 inches. Should I just become the durability tester??? Or will patience pay off for this old grasshopper?

I’d say give’r
They are put together as well as anything
And if you crunch a ski badly, I’ll take good care of you

[arild]

Durability is the best I've ever seen, with the FR builds (not enough days on the C builds to really comment). I know I'm biased as fuuck, but these are up there with Igneous skis, which is about the highest standard I know.

I hit a few rocks at Snowbird in early December, and skis held up just fine. Gummy stone took off the burrs, bases merely had some surface scratches not even worth filling.

But, didn’t bring them to Tahoe this weekend…

I was bouncing off rocks up in Revy back in December, and hit one with my FL105s that would have destroyed every other ski in my quiver -- along with most likely my knee -- but they kept on trucking. Slapped some ptex in there and back at it. Both the FR and FL are insanely well built.

110 @ -6. Looks kinda weird to be more towards the front than the others. Maybe not.

I'll be curious to hear how you get along with them at -6. I'm trying to decide where I'm going to mount, leaning towards -7.

[ticketchecker]

I’ve had a couple pair of PMGear skis that came out of the Blossom factory and they are bomber construction. I imagine the HL stuff is too, top shelf quality.

It’s gonna be awhile. I’m not sure I’m even going to be on these for at least another three weeks or so.

[Upinsmoke]

I mounted my FR110s at -6. They are perfect there for me. I skied the og devastator for years and this ski floats much better. So intuitive and smooth, I can’t see a need for further back
