Soft Snow Gymkhana - The Heritage Lab FR110

[The Iron Horse]

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

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.

Thanks! Yeah, trying to decide between -6 or -7. I've put the decision off too long, now just need to choose.

I think the decision on where to mount should be most influenced by how you usually ski. A typical forward driver would mount around -7.5- -8, a more centered approach would be around -6 to -5. It'll float anyway. [emoji846]

Both size Devs skied best mounted around there too imho

Quit over thinking it an go -6.5.

(That's what I did, and I'm happy with the decision).

Anyone have time on BC110s? Anyone want to sell me a pair hehe

Now that's an idea I can support.

I missed the boat on the 186 FR110, any idea when you're gonna do another batch of em?

I am trading Pluffenmeister out his FR110 for a pair of R110, so I will have a single pair for the rest of the season… pm me if interested!

otherwise, preorder for fall deliver will open in 6-8 weeks

Marshal please give the R110 a fresh topsheet if you do a production run next year. For those of us that might end up owning both FR's and R's.

Interesting!

I was originally thinking to do same topsheets, but I can see your point.

Easy enough to spool up.

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.

I think the big thing is what you are used to and how you weight your feet as they relate to the rocker profile. Happy to talk it though (ie height, weight, BSL, ski history, etc) and help.

Thanks, Marshal. I'll shoot you a message shortly.

[jackattack]

Are people drilling these with 3.5 or 4.1?

[Marshal Olson]

4.1 (and tap if you have one and want to make your life easier)

The more I ski everything else, the more I think I need FR110's in my life.

yes, yes you do need them. Barrel of monkeys as a ski, tons of fun!

That’s the same conclusion I came too….and I have Renegades, Hojis, Optics, Whitewalkers….

How does this ski fit in a quiver? I travel for skiing so I don’t have super fatty, all my skis are somewhat versatile. Possible over lap if your pow ski is a jeff118? Thinking these 2 with a low tide ski

Putting my 193s on a plane this afternoon if my flight's not cancelled, so we'll see how they travel. Looking forward to sharing my field notes. Stoked!

Awesome! Can't wait for your report!

PnC, I travel for skiing as well and so am trying to get my quiver tight and versatile. In my resort stash, I'm down to two, the FR110 and the Armada ARG II UL, so basically, the FR110 is my travel DD. I read earlier in this thread a mag posted that the FR110 floats almost as well as the Nocta (take it FWIW) and so that prevented me from buying a resort pow ski in the 115-125 range. The ARG is obviously a super pow stick.

I usually go out west so for the time being, don't have a dedicated low tide resort ski. I would probably add a low tide ski that doubles as a technical/spring tourer to my touring quiver and just use it in the resort on the occasion where I've brought both that and the FR110. My current touring DD is 100mm so can use that in the resort too (again, on the odd occasion where there is literally no fresh snow).

Curious on how you setup your quiver, resort vs touring and maximizing usage across both.

Yeah, that’s kinda what I was thinking, the FR110 would be paired best with a pow ski like the 132/arg/protest for a 2 ski quiver.

I’ve got the deathwish104, kartel116, and deathwish tour. When I travel I pick 2. If I’m going to tour I take the dwt and then one of the others based on if I think it’ll be low tide or not. Either are pretty versatile if my snow guess is off. If I’m not touring, I obviously take the two resort skis. Buuuut I also like your approach of versatile ski paired with true pow ski. But im a prefer “in the snow” vs “on the snow” so I’m happy with the kartel116 if it truly gets deep. I’ve been thinking of replacing the dwt with something lighter/skinnier/shorter for touring. Thinking along the lines of line vision or a size smaller 4frnt raven/wildcat108 tour. /thread drift

I disagree. The FR110 is a great powder ski. If you can’t ski pow on a fully reverse camber 110mm underfoot ski, it might be time for lessons. If I travel I take two skis as well, something like the HL 87 comp for low tide and FR110 for everything else. YMMV

Okay, good to hear another opinion, that’s why I was asking. I can ski a fully reverse just fine but thanks for the concern

Yah, I don't think we're saying the FR110 is poor in powder. Quite the opposite, think we recognize it's a great powder tool AND it's quite versatile in most non-pow scenarios. My question is what else do I bring along with the FR110 (which is basically the cornerstone of my quiver).

If I'm resort/mechanized only and there is pow: FR110 + ARG (I'm almost never resort/mechanized only)
Resort/touring and there is pow: FR110 + powder tourer
Resort/touring and there is no pow: FR110 + DD tourer

Could add in a spring/low-tide/tech tourer in there too, but would be specialized in use I think
