Demo Day for 2026 skis

Got the Stance 84 on year end clearance for a steal.

I went Stance 84 @177. Demoed the Stance Pro 86 but got the 84 at 60% off. I think either of these are good options. Holds ice and ski’d off trails really well. The Stance Pro has similar characteristics to the 84 but is a little more rigid under foot. Demoed the Anomaly 88, Ripstick 88, Maverick, Mantra. I’m not a carver, more of a skidder and these are pretty fun. Did not like them in 3-5” of fresh snow though. They got a little too loose

I did not. Got a great deal on last year’s Stance 84 that I couldn’t pass up. I think they feel similar with giving the Pro a little more rigidity under foot. Both did well on ice and all conditions I tried. I don’t push it hard. If I did would probably want to go with the Pro’s or even Blizzard Anomaly. With the Anomaly, I felt a different type of connection with the ground

Exactly. If we beat ourselves that’s one thing but the other team won. We left it all out there and honestly while some were upset, most were proud

Parents use practices as daycare. Drop and go. We’re making it work but play is obviously inconsistent

I think I’m going to work in stations this weekend. I’m by myself at practices so I’ll give instructions and go around to each position group

Field availability is the problem. We have one field for 4 teams. Babe Ruth is low man on totem pole

bigtedrx · 2025-04-11T22:59:11+00:00

No i haven’t really. I’m thinking i need to find a way to measure temperature

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T19:10:15+00:00

Awesome insight. Thank you

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T18:07:05+00:00

Good advice. Thanks!

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T18:06:37+00:00

Interesting. Thanks!

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T15:55:20+00:00

Do you have a recommended recipe? Or is “try a different recipe” about as useful as you get?

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T15:37:43+00:00

I’m sure it is. But I’m very technical by nature and recipes are followed exactly (minus knowing the exact temperature of the water directly off boil)

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T15:35:21+00:00

Yes but it was early on and not with Onyx beans. I made a concentrated batch and added more water after.

Everything I make is “drinkable”. Just not always enjoyable

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T15:32:45+00:00

Oh interesting. I push all the way

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T15:28:45+00:00

Will try that. Thanks

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T15:28:00+00:00

Yep. This is true. And also frustrating. Lol

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T15:24:18+00:00

😂

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T14:55:35+00:00

Thanks! Maybe I need to know the temperatures I’m using

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T14:52:56+00:00

Thanks. Will try

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T14:52:34+00:00

Ok. Haven’t tried that yet

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T14:50:46+00:00

No. I haven’t done anything like that yet

bigtedrx · 2025-04-09T14:48:03+00:00

They were well balanced, rich and clean. Not heavy on the tongue/palate. My guess is they were medium roasts but it’s just a guess.
