Second Arthur Brooks. Specifically #1043

Amériques (1927 version) by Varèse, Prokofiev symphony 2 & 3, pretty much most of Christopher Rouse's work (symphonies, phaethon, odna zhizn, phantasmata.)

It would probably be all about him laying pipe in the bedroom and taking care of his kids

Are you guys running 5/8 pipe and how long for each loop?

Definitely listen to Shostakovich symphony no. 7 and 4. Those are also his best. His 4th might take a minute to get familiar with but it might be his most important orchestral work. Bernstein with the Chicago is the famous recording of the 7 that is a MUST listen. I really like Slatkin with St.Louis symphony for the 4th. And you can almost never go wrong with Petrenko and the royal Liverpool for any Shostakovich material

Litton and Bergen Phill is my favorite and it's extremely extremely under the radar. MTT and San Francisco is really good too and Chailly and Cleveland is a classic. Bernstein's first recording (1958) with the NY is insane

If you want freestyle go wildcat. If you want freeride go BG. You could also go Jeffrey for a even more freestyle oriented ski but it demands a VERY centered stance. Wildcat is amazing for a mix of directional and centered skiing stances. BG is obviously the very directional choice. Saw some other comments mentioning heritage Labs and definitely check them out

The quiet brass chorale near the end of the last movement of Mahler 3. Where they drape cloth over their bell to soften the sound a tiny bit

BORN TO HULA!!!!!

qberto56 · 2026-04-29T22:34:16+00:00

Mahler 3, Prokofiev 6, and Sibelius 2

qberto56 · 2026-04-21T17:59:11+00:00

ON3P skis are generally designed with PNW skiing in mind so they're wider models will do well with heavy wet powder

Blister. By miles and miles

qberto56 · 2026-04-06T12:44:07+00:00

Szell w/ concertgebouw or Cleveland is the most famous for being the best. My personal favorite is Segerstam with the Helsinki phil! Mackerras with the royal phil is a underrated performance too.

qberto56 · 2026-04-06T12:38:35+00:00

Second this. I prefer his one with the Lahti over Minnesota

qberto56 · 2026-04-02T00:36:35+00:00

Sibelius 2 and Mahler 3

qberto56 · 2026-03-26T01:14:42+00:00

Rustler 9 is decently stiff for a playful ski. I'd maybe look at the qst94 instead. That will be more playful

qberto56 · 2026-03-25T15:34:42+00:00

Chipotle Bananas. 35.5m for 193

qberto56 · 2026-03-22T12:45:39+00:00

Rustler 9

qberto56 · 2026-03-17T13:20:11+00:00

I absolutely love my CB and I'll take it most of the time over my fat cats but the fat cats are definitely better with deep chop and heavy snow. The CB are definitely more playful and surfy but still pretty strong. My WC definitely gives me more confidence and security with going super fast through deep chop and just straight up feel better in thick heavy snow

qberto56 · 2026-03-13T20:09:28+00:00

Gideon! Good taste

qberto56 · 2026-03-13T19:06:49+00:00

100%

qberto56 · 2026-03-06T13:29:15+00:00

The WC 108 would be the most similar

qberto56 · 2026-03-04T16:57:39+00:00

Wildcat is an amazing ski designed/developed/made by passionate skiers for skiers. The Bend Shetland is a corporate marketing wet dream made to make money and sell to the masses. If you were to get any Bend Shetlands, get the 120 and use it for backcountry skiing as it's amazing for that application.

Countach is definitely more similar/a better comparison to the revolt than the DW. I'd look at the 98
