Surface New Lifes vs. CoreUPT Born to Drop. Tell me ALL you know!

I love the 194 new life, such a playful deep pow ski but also charges hard since it's stiffer.

if you're looking at getting the 194, i have some for sale WITH bindings for 400+shipping

and if you want the 184's I'll sell mine with mojo 18's for 500+shipping

2 years older with shittier bindings? not a very good deal... mine are this years with driver toe bindings and like new..

and shittier bindings? they're one step UP from what tanner hall relies on to keep him stuck to his skis. mojo/peak/deadbolt 18's are second only to FKS 180's in terms of safe release and durability.

Thanks boys, i`m lookin at the 184`s and the sales right now are crazy! I can get brand new 184`s with bindings for under 600 with free shipping on D strucutre.

do you want slightly used 184's mounted dead center with mojo 18's? for 400?

My exact setup except mojo 15s. Center mount for sure. You should take this, sick deal on sick sticks.

Im going to have the pass but thanks alot for the offer and the info!

I'be been wanting to check out the born to drops for so long, they seem like a stiff charger. honestly the two skis are super far apart from each other.

me personally, i wouldn't want a completely symmetrical pow ski because well, i hardly ever ski pow switch.

you should check out this guys review of the born to drop

THIS REVIEW IS BY CAMLAX NOT ME, taken from tgr.

"Coreupt Born to Drop Review
*Disclaimer: This season I am working for Coreupt as a sales rep, but I am being totally honest with this review. If there is a problem with the ski I’ll say it.

Lots of interest online in these skis but not many reviews. I figured I’d write this up real quick and if anybody has questions, just send me an email.

Conditions: Solitude the last couple days, about a week after the last major storm. Silver fork, Wolverine cirque, Highway to Heaven

To put it shortly, this ski is not your typical jibby fat rockered ski. This ski charges! The best way I can explain it is that most rockered skis don’t have a lower speed limit but definitely a high limit in the crud. This ski is the total opposite, It is not great at low speed but at speed, it can mow anything down with total confidence.

Here are the specs on the ski:
187cm
139 - 125 - 136
4,58 Kg
28 m turn radius

This ski can absolutely stomp landings. I attribute this to its stiffer flex and lack of major tail rocker. Any Solitude/Utah guys can attest to the landings and conditions of Fantasy Ridge lately and this ski has eaten it all up with no issue.
On groomers this ski can hold and edge and go. It has a significant amount of camber underfoot. If you find yourself in bumps, just stay centered and take them a few at a time.
Out into silver fork, this ski can lay down some serious lines. Snow was nothing amazing but still fast and fun.

The bad: The recommended mounting point is a bit too far forward. Be true to what this ski is as a charger and mount about 2cm back.

This is definitely not one ski quiver. If you want a stiff fat rockered board for your quiver for those days you want to absolutely haul ass, this is the ski for you. Also, for bigger guys that can’t find a pow ski stiff enough, check these out for sure.

I’ll have rocker/camber pics up later tonight.
If any SLC mags want to give these a test, send me an email at cmackenzie @ coreupt.com and we’ll set something up."
