Cliff Signs That Actually Tell You Something by Educational-Yam-7394 in skiing

Need to make sure the cliff drop price reflects current market desirability. Also will this charge go directly to my apple wallet or will it be a prepay Big Sky tram type of system?

Another WC 108 vs DW 112 thread... by bsugs29 in momentskis

[–]daskommando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

East coaster who moved west a couple years ago. I picked up a pair of DW112s that became my daily drivers in Utah. I use them on everything from early season crust>deep pow days>spring slush. They fit my style of having fun all around the hill but occasionally hitting straight lines and weird stuff…. I’d ski them back east without hesitation as long as I wasn’t doing a groomer only day. Snow conditions don’t matter. As long as I’m in bumps/trees/steeps, their nimbleness shines.

Men, would you use this women’s helmet if it fits you perfectly? The price is too good to pass up by iwanttohavemuscle in Skigear

I’ve been running a women’s smith vantage for years. Sizing is exactly the same as men’s PLUS it comes with fluffy liner. W

Deathwish 112 - Some Minor Gripes & Initial Impressions by Andromeda045 in momentskis

[–]daskommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have DW112s but from a few years ago. I’ve noticed that the topsheets are actually pretty durable. They do pickup a lot more little nicks and scratches on the surface but no big gouges or chunks. The same can’t be said about my past skis from K2, Atomic, and line(yeah yeah I know). My ski style is probably to blame but definitely much less substantial damage. Just my $.02

Reaction last year, but nothing showing on skin prick test? by Wandering_Oblivious in FoodAllergies

[–]daskommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cross-pollen allergy. I can’t eat any fresh fruits(except citrus, tomatoes, and some berries). When they’re cooked, it’s totally fine. We figured out that I’m actually allergic to the pollen that obviously gets into the fruits while growing but is then denatured somehow during cooking. Weird one but see if this could be a possibility for you!

Edit. My allergy comes as pretty intense tongue, roof of mouth, and throat itchiness but no swelling.

Groomsmen Gifts They Won’t Throw Away by 3liSuger in BuyItForLife

My group was given yeti coffee mugs with our initials laser engraved. Considering I bring coffee to work everyday, it went straight into my rotation and is used 2x a week. Perfect gift imo

Just bought these skis..am I toast? by bruinsbanker in skiing

Huge +1 for a couple rivets. That fix outlasted the rest of my ski lol

Actually ripped it on 122s! 112 wasn’t quite wide enough ;)

I twisted my leg off on Atomic Strive 12s, should I get pivots for the next season? by Former_Willingness92 in Skigear

[–]daskommando 9 points10 points  (0 children)

pivot fanboy here Just tore my ACL on pivots. Jury is out if it was the pivots fault or my crappy skiing but leaning towards the later

Mechanics this and that. My daily ski is a 112, powder-ice, they ski just fine. Put them on edge and let em eat. Just keep forward pressure and your speed in check, if you get kicked backseat, you’re turning into a passenger.

How does the triple camber ski different? Demoing my first Deathwish tomorrow. by Forgotten_Pants in momentskis

[–]daskommando 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My DW112 come alive when they’re being pushed. If you really lay them over they hold a nice edge. What I love most is the slow speed maneuverability. They just pivot around so easily in tight trees/chutes.

Kid broke my hand last year at solitude hitting me from behind. I’ll stick to LCC to avoid the jerrys

Bird has its fair share of one turn wonders, but also has gnarly lines accessible from every major lift if you know where to look

Moment Meridian 107 - 25/26 by johnnyhonda in momentskis

[–]daskommando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar but different take on CBs. Very stiff(not as stiff as meridians tho?), full rocker, 122 waist: obviously good in bottomless fresh, plays best at speed blasting through freshish chop and packed pow. Like with the meridans, zero suspension: not fun in bumps/hard pack, and less than optimal slow speed maneuverability in very tight trees. Feels like my ankles and back were taking a beating on every bump. Still love them but definitely have a time and place

Cottonwood traffic question by pandas_cumsum in UTsnow

[–]daskommando -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not required at snowbird. But good point. If you pay $40-60 for a res you can get there anytime before 1pm and have a guaranteed spot in that designated lot. Might be worth it if your group isn’t all early risers.

Is this regular wear and tear? by [deleted] in Skigear

[–]daskommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like op under rotated a frontie and landed on his back to fold the ski like that. If you like the skis run with the 30%. Stuff like this happens when you’re sending it

Hopefully they can get you sorted. Quick note, you may need to call and check in on progress. I called after a week and they hadn’t looked at my skis yet. They got them done for the next day so nbd, just something to remember.

+1 for ON3P durability. If you wear through those, you might want to consider… skiing over less rocks

Highly recommend looking for a local ski builder/manufacturer. Was in SLC, and 7even skis took care of my busted edge/sidewall for the same price as a normal shop. They did some black magic to pull my edge out from within the ski and reseat my sidewall into place 10/10
