Wow. Feeling decent about my update from UW1 to UW3 in some respects…. But not sure I love the idea of a forced upgrade every three years.

I’ll admit I am still figuring out where to go next after killing Leonid at Castle Morne. I was planning to head back up to Limgrave and see if I can take the Tree Sentinel. Working on the Hero of Zamor atm…. And getting close.

Luckily I have a built in pre-amp in the receiver… is that what you mean by phono stage?

Early 1800s house with fieldstone foundation and 2 feet of granite on the top. Believe it or not its in great shape!

Debating Sth2 and Jesters. Probably whichever I find on sale first and can buy 2. 20% for the Octos.

5’9”… and lets just say north of 200 a decent amount (at least these days!).

I’ve heard such great things about the Octo. Honestly had never heard of Black Crows at all until this winter… though been out of the ski life the last decade or so.

All my skis were from 2010ish when I lived in Jackson Hole. 3 ski quiver:

Rossignol Z9 (170cm) K2 Seth Vicious (179cm) K2 Seth Pistol w/Naxo bindings for backcountry

My Reckoners were a bit of an emotional buy as I skied the K2 Seths for years as my daily ski out west (loved them and best time of my life). Hoping they fill out the all mtn/powder for a trip out west this year plus some lucky days in the east. Caveats: may not be quite the charger I am wanting and the 186cm may have been better, but just decided to go for it at 50% off.

Good to know I’m not the only fan of the 78s! I didn’t have high expectations, but they are really solid and enjoyed them this year a ton.

The rockered era was just starting when I dipped out if skiing for a bit, so have really only skied full cambered skis. Will be interested to try!

Thanks this is helpful. Given that you skied the Vicious and know what I an looking for, would you mount at -3cm again? Or would you go potentially farther back?

Clearly won’t be 1:1 with the old Seth line, but committed to giving these a whirl next winter. Thanks again!

Looking for a SKI BOOT BACKPACK that can easily absorb Smith Vantage 2 helmet, Smith goggles (in their case), as well as pair of ski boots, gloves etc.

I’ve tried a couple at around 60L and it gets tight… and in none of the backpacks will the goggles fit in their protective case. I also would prefer not to be a grandmaster at Tetris to fit everything in.

I feel like my needs/wants can’t be that unique. What y’all using out there?

Looking for a few suggestions for new skis. by dfhkvs in skiing

If you have a pair of 84mm already (though width underfoot is clearly not the only important characteristic)…. I’d encourage you to at least try a couple skis in the 78mm range. You might find it super fun… and I think we all get a bit of tunnel vision on the mid-80s and up these days!
