    Marshal as well. I hand flexed em & would not call em soft….. shape is sick! Shovels more pronounced than the r99’s. Should be wicked fun.

    You're going to love those 188 AM99s. I picked up a pair last year and absolutely loved them. Makes the low tide days sooo fun!!

    Hey Marshall, are all HL skis at 1.5 deg base / 2 deg side? Thanks.

    I like the idea too, and I'm sure MO/HL would come up with something stellar.

    My 10yo Praxis MVPs get close to this, and I've travelled lots with them. Deep, subtle rocker lines, minimal camber, 26m radius, and 2000gr @ 187 110mm. As per the state of the art back then they're mounted with SollyFit plates for double duty. (Swiss cheese improvement project coming up shortly).

    Yup. Good stuff. Have the construction in mind for it.

    i could see a bit more directional 105ish ski that mounts around -10.5 and an “am110” type shape that brings the 110 foot print and the am100 near-reverse profile and mounts around -7

    right around 2000-2100g

    i do really think that the very slight camber pocket, with long extended but quite low rocker vs a true reverse would really help the lighter build ride notably smoother on rough snow.

    curious is that sounds exciting for folks…?

    Exactly my feeling about the old MVP.

    I’d love a V-Werks Katana in a resort HL build! The shape and rocker of that ski are so great at pretty much everything. Keep the shape and rocker of the vwk but make it a bit heavier (or a lot heavier) and more durable. That would be money!

    Isn’t that the R110 though?

    I’ve been sitting over here, quietly, waiting for someone else to say exactly that. Glad it didn’t take more than a few hours.

    It’s close but from what I’ve read will be more playful. The R110 is built around a -7.5 mount vs vwk @ -13.9. I haven’t skied the R110 but have the FR110 and it’s also softer than what I’d be looking for. (I think the FR and R have similar flex but don’t know for sure.)

    Marshal hit it out of the park on this one!

    There’s no other stock ski out there that combines this strong of a shape at this waist width and weight. If you have been dreaming of a ski for a long time that never really came to be this might be it hehe.

    The UT122 has the best topsheet if any HL ski so far. Gorgeous.

    I've been looking for something like this for a while now, but no room in the quiver and no planned trips that would justify it. Fingers crossed I can grab a pair for the 2026 season.

    Re Renegade resemblence - the specs certainly look similar! Hopefully that means that MO will make a 184 at some point...

    I just checked the specs on my 196 Renegades and they basically identical
