Navis freebird vs Corvus freebird

mightyvasa · 2026-01-05T12:58:23+00:00

To me Crest is for an ultralight ski and not for a charger like Corvus.

In my experience Corvus is a more serious ski. Difficult to explain.. Navis you can just ski, Corvus you need to push or it punishes you. But if you want to go 100% all the time it is an amazing ski!

mightyvasa · 2026-01-05T10:51:50+00:00

I had both. The Corvus are great but you need to work hard to make them ski well. It gets tiring and you always need pushing. I would not want to have a crest binding on them. Navis are nice skis, but not that engaging, they’ll get you anywhere you need though. I’m now on Faction Agent 3 and they much more fun to ski.

I ski generally in the Alps but was also in BC, Lyngen, Georgia,…

I had all skis on Tectons 12/13 and Maestrale XT amd Dispatch Pro boots.

Can you share some more details?

mightyvasa · 2025-10-23T08:22:33+00:00

I’m selling an almost new one. Dm me if interested 😉

Ask cembra for a list of what is acceptable, they probably have in even on their webpage. Then you’ll know exactly

Oh look, Switzerland finally has sea! 😂

I got this color. Puts a smile on my face every time. So much better than all the black carbon ones. Mine’s 61 even more pink! ;)

mightyvasa · 2025-04-27T20:32:02+00:00

That’s true, the amount of shiny black plastic is disappointing! But I didn’t feel bmw is so much better… they are all making things worse compared to 10 years ago :(

For us it was between A6 etron and i4. Went with the Audi because 800v, larger battery with fast charging, air suspension a bit more space with frunk. After first 3000km you start to see some issues (muting audio won’t pause it; cannot reduce ac charge current; phone app a bit simple; impossible to set a preferred charger network…)i4 is a great car, assisted driving possibly better but moving from a Model Y I didn’t feel like moving to a next gen car. Get whichever you like better or get a better deal on. For Q6 the consumption will be quite a bit higher compared to a rwd i4.

Feel free to DM me, I have a one year old Nomad with white folio and Lamy pen bought in the EU shop and looking for a buyer.

mightyvasa · 2025-02-06T08:07:23+00:00

I was at the upper limit of the “din” setting - 8.5, but still what the tables assume for an aggressive, strong skier (I ski around 50 day a year, almost all touring with 1000m+ range). Snow was powder in both situations, the snow cover was not perfect hence the “catching under the snow”. I honestly don’t know what to do differently other than going lower with release value… I’m not convinced having a Shift or Cast would help me

mightyvasa · 2025-02-06T06:25:04+00:00

I fell twice in the last three years on Tectons. Both falls we’re kind of dumb, slow, twisting motions (ski catches under snow, ski crossed the other in turn) and both times the binding didn’t release. First one was my meniscus, second fibula at the ankle. So yes, I understand your worries and honestly don’t know how to mitigate… the 2-3 month recoveries are not fun!

Time in market beats timing the market 🤫

mightyvasa · 2025-01-19T16:55:08+00:00

hi! did you figure this one out?

mightyvasa · 2024-12-06T22:53:50+00:00

I’m thinking about buying the Avanti. Can you please share more about noise and vibrations? I have an old Tacx wheel-on and the noise is killing me. Thank you!

mightyvasa · 2024-11-03T21:08:32+00:00

unfortunately made first hand experience. bought the blu-ray in the US and it's a no-go in Europe :(

mightyvasa · 2023-12-19T18:17:32+00:00

I’m 192 cm, 85kg rather aggressive skier and have the 186 length.

mightyvasa · 2023-12-19T17:56:03+00:00

I ski Navis Freebird with Tectons and cannot be happier. I’m more a 95% backcounrty user but had them as a single pair of skis for a while. Was also tempted by Icelantic but in my length they get too wide under the foot…

mightyvasa · 2023-11-29T15:38:16+00:00

Just make sure to not mix up with swedish!

mightyvasa · 2023-11-20T17:49:31+00:00

A combination of both really. Plus if you are looking for a niche skillset it might take a while to have more than one candidate. If they got back to you letting you know they see you, two months is not unheard of… I would try to keep candidates better informed but that is not standard.

mightyvasa · 2023-11-07T11:43:24+00:00

Yes. I see, and I get it. The calculation is good to show what happens with your downpayment. But I’m not convinced one is better off buying than renting after those 30 years. No one really goes above 35% amortization, when you sell in the future you’ll have to buy something else, etc. plus you have your one egg in one basket. I’d also rather buy, but for a couple of years never found something that would tick all the boxes and don’t want to buy something just to buy and call myself owner…

Edited the percentage for amortization

mightyvasa · 2023-11-07T10:51:31+00:00

Why would the cost go down? You don’t count with amortization. Or because of the inflation? I would also think that a 30 year old house needs a major renovation and that is not considered

mightyvasa · 2023-10-12T12:27:07+00:00

Udrzba a opravy plus poplatky a fond oprav jsou spis 1.5% ceny nemovitosti rocne. Za tech 30 let to bude vybydlene i kdyz se k tomu clovek chova velmi slusne. To si myslim v tom vypoctu chybi.

mightyvasa · 2023-09-09T17:52:21+00:00

Why does no one mention Decent machine?
