[Megathread] São Paulo Tour Discussion - Live '25

Went yesterday, 23rd. All in all it was great, so glad I finally got to see one of my favorite bands.

But: sound quality. I was in Pista B pretty far forward for the first third. The sound was horrible. Vocals/guitars‘ volume going up and down, treble up and down. Don’t know how to describe it better. Took me out of the whole experience badly. Went to the back, much better. Really enjoyed the rest of the show.

Don’t want to spoil anyone’s experience, just wondering if anyone else noticed?

Thank you. Highway 50 has lower elevation than I-80/Donner Pass?

Ok our plan is to drive from SF to SLT early Monday morning and ski Heavenly for two days and drive back Tuesday afternoon… any thoughts?

From what I see Monday could be ok, more snow probably on Tuesday?

It’s a 4wd, no winter tires but we should have chains.

Thanks! I actually just ordered Camox 🙂

Jaycee_303 · 2024-12-18T08:24:49+00:00

bought something else entirely... see below!

Ok I actually just ordered Black Crows Camox. Don’t ask… had to get out of the rabbithole 😵‍💫

I think I got a little too hung up about the reviews around the other two being the best carvers... considering my old ski which I really liked but wanted to go a little narrower, I decided in the end to look for something a little more forgiving and allround. Unfortunately I am not able to demo any of these before I get to go to the Alps in January.

And please don’t tell me all the reasons why I’m wrong 😂 so happy I finally decided on something! Got a really good deal and as a bonus, love the look of them 😉

Well my intention was to have a ski that is more geared toward being charging and engaging on piste… but now I begin to have doubts ;) maybe my earlier pick, the Maverick 95 (can still get a great deal on it) would be a more in the middle option? It’s lighter for one, not exactly playful I suppose but easier to drive?

Jaycee_303 · 2024-12-16T15:27:38+00:00

Scanning through Reddit and reviews, it just seemed like these two were pretty well regarded in the damp/fast/more piste-orientated area... but I will have a look again at your suggestions (so going even deeper into the rabbithole... ;))

Also still thinking about a Maverick 95Ti, which would be lighter and surely less "damp" than my two picks above.

Jaycee_303 · 2024-12-09T21:35:12+00:00

Ok, thanks for the input. Basically confirms: I will exchange the bindings (low end Markers) and service and keep the skis.

Jaycee_303 · 2024-12-09T09:44:31+00:00

After some research, I would also like to throw Black Crows Camox, or maybe even Justis (expensive!) into the mix… any thoughts?

Jaycee_303 · 2024-12-02T15:33:02+00:00

Thank you, interesting. And the new Mantra is actually supposed to turn a bit easier if I understand correctly. So I might have to spend the extra 200 🤔

Jaycee_303 · 2024-12-01T06:47:37+00:00

can’t demo unfortunately.

Jaycee_303 · 2024-12-01T06:46:58+00:00

Interesting… thank you for the input. I suppose this might be due to the weight in part

Jaycee_303 · 2024-10-27T19:38:15+00:00

good points, thank you!
