has anyone ridden these skis? i have a previously mounted pair i want to pair with wets for a powder and all mountain ski and park/all mountain quiver. if they really suck or something i don’t want to go get them mounted and tuned but it would be nice to have them as well.

I skied the 182 for 2 years it was a sleeper in my opinion. Super fun and actually really versatile! Floated really well for its width, held a good edge and weren’t super heavy. I skied it as my daily in the Alps and had a ton of fun, if you can find a pair I’d recommend definitely.

If you decide to ski them, like them, then they eventually give up, you’d like our pioneer. Having demo’d & liked them while developing the design, I used them as part of the inspiration for the Pioneer.

those look pretty similar to rocker2 100s and those were sick skis for sure

I rode the 184s for a week, honestly slept on ski , can charge but also playful. But salomon got rid of them because dad skis sell better

That's what the 100s were like too. I'm still mad solly stopped making skis like this that were, you know, good?

i got some on3p woodsman 96 this year and they feel similar to what I remember rocker2 100s to be like. Can charge all around the mountain with full confidence but still a playful ski in the park. Plus on3ps are quite a bit more durable than sollys
