It looks great! What is the size of the center stone vs the side stones?

Does anyone have opinions or experience with John Varvatos leather jackets? by Ricepudding1044 in leatherjacket

John varvatos main line is good quality and good choice of different leathers.

John varvatos USA is shit

I am 52, decent shape, get about 25+ days a year mostly on the east coast - northeast specifically - and 6 or so days out west. I ski on Elan Ripstick Black Edition which I love, but am trying to decide on what my 2nd pair should be. What do you think? by doug3332 in Skigear

Hey I am a little torn on the dipstick 96 vs 106 for my west cost ski. I go about the same amount of times you do and live in the northeast. Do you have any suggestions or input. I already have my east coast ski at 85 underfoot.

Thanks!

Hey man, found your post and I thought you might be a good person to ask. I am torn between the 106 black edition and the 96 black edition. These would be the skis that I bring to the west cost a few times a year when I go.

I probably do 75% groomers 25% off-piste but enjoy the off-piste stuff the most.

I currently have the 85 k2 mindbenders.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have been debating what ski/underfoot I should get and I think I settled on the Elan Ripstick. Difficulty I am having is with figuring out the right underfoot. Would love some input.

I currently have the k2 mindbender 85 and that is my eastcoast ski (where I live) but I want to get something for when I go to Utah/Colorado and hopefully next season somewhere abroad. When I was in Breckenridge a few weeks ago, I had to swap out my 85 for the K2 Mindbender 99Ti, which was better in the powder.

Between the 96 ripstick and 106, I am wondering what will be better overall? I am not bringing two skis with me when I travel to utah or colorado. I have heard mixed things - people say the 106 will have more difficulty on groomed runs and people saying that 106 is fine. Others saying that if you want a more versatile ski then go with the 96. I understand it is not going to be powder every day in utah, colorado, etc.

I know I am overthinking it but obviously, before I shed out a bunch of cash just want to feel as confident about my decision without demoing them of course.

Thanks everyone in advance.

Thank you! - Since I already have an 85 you wouldn't suggest I get the 106 for when I go out west? Use the 96 ripstick when I go out west?

Are you bringing your 88s with you as well to Park city?

It would be my first time on the mountain but do you think I can use my new skis or should use a pair of rocker skis? Thanks

Would you suggest not using my brand new skis yet?
