high of 65f. nice day

maybe we need to start a winter 2023-24 panic room thread

Don't forget DIT lives at altitude so acorn drops are probably affected.

frcst was for clouds/shwrs in pwm. Currently partly sunny.

It's a beauty here. Hoping to get one last boat outing Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk

good stuff thanks. After reading some online reviews my impression was the rustler was more like the brahma and the enforcer and mantra were mostly hard chargers that were similar to one another. My interpretation must be wrong or the reviews are to be taken with a grain of salt. What I'd like is to be able to bomb down groomers with wide GS turns on edge, with good stability, little chatter and high confidence. At the same time, i want a ski that will turn quick on the steep stuff. The 188 brahmas are definitely too long for that but I got good deal on them several years ago and have managed. I was renting a 166 brahama before the 188 and that obviously turned much quicker. If the rustler is what I am after, what size would you suggest?

Looking to buy a 2nd set of skis. Been skiing brahma's (188/88) last few seasons and I've always liked them, but wanted to try a wider ski, ~90s. I'm mostly an on-piste intermediate/advanced skier that'll ski mostly blue/black groomers, non-groomers. Can ski pretty much anything at SR except for the super tight glade stuff. Been considering the blizzard Rustler 9, Nordica Enforcer 94, Volkl Mantra M6. I'm 6'1", 155lbs and from what I've read, the Rustler would probably be best for me, but some reports of it being not as stable at higher speeds (2024 has full length metal edge so maybe better?) has me considering the other two. I'd like to rip high speed GS groomers and the Nordica seems to fit the bill well. The Mantra, based on reviews appears to be a high charging heavy ski that at my weight may be more difficult to maneuver. Overall, I'd like a stable ski at speed, but still being able to execute quick turns on the steeper stuff. Any suggestions on these or other skis to consider?

oh yeah, i recall you saying that last spring. nice sled, congrats

it is 2". I usually ride a 1.6", but the sled came with 2". We do do some offtrail so it'll be good there and actually is pretty good on trail. what did you order?

Lee was a bust here just north of pym. Almost no rain, but some some wind. Tomorrow looks to be almost the opposite Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
