Same.

Haven't pulled the trigger on poles but did pick-up 18/19 Noctas, 185cm, i'm pumped to get those out after the base is filled out.

Also bought a HH shell, 2.5L I think, price was right fit and color are good, we'll see how the waterproofing is after a few warmish wet days. My other jacket is just too warm for Tahoe most of the time even with the lightest base or tee underneath.

i ride the 2018 model about 2+ from recommended. sweet skis, super light, floats well on pow and sooo soft for buttering. i can literally pop so high on my tails while tail buttering. Only down side is that they dont do very well charging crude. they also ride well in the park

Would -4 from center be too forward?

Y'all should really try to find a pair to keep at Blister HQ to benchmark other skis against. They feel a lot like Enforcer 110's but they can be a lot more locked in when you want them to be. I've only had them in summer mashed potatoes and slush bumps but I love them so far.

Considering thats half from recommended, yes thats too forward and mounting it there would defeat the purpose of the ski's directional shape. I ride park on em and they're fine even at -6.5 and switch riding. What are you using these skis for?

Try and get some Panda Poles, I think they have shutdown shop for a bit but Im sure there are still some lingering around at some dealers here and there. Been using them for years and have had no issues.

I've demo'd these and they go fuckin hard. They're not really damp but damn do they pop. My daily sidehits turned into fuckin' booters, such a blast of a ski. (And they're CSU colors, go state! 🐐🐐🐐)

There's some hidden gems up the poudre that's only about 1.5 hours away from the fort if earnin turns and building BC booters is your thing. Cameron Pass is 1/100th the shitshow berthoud or loveland pass is jist because nobody goes up there.

But true fact, it's a trek just to get on to i70 from the fort.

Yeah I gave up on resort skiing after a year of going there, but Cameron and RMNP are super sick and not crowded at all if you know where to go.
