they don't really have a usual pattern yet, the company is still young, plus they are getting skis from 2 factories this year so its gonna be a little tough.

163's are at jibij.

I also wish the 183's were in.. I was hoping to have already been skiing, but without skis.. that isn't happening.

We did get in 1 pair of the 163s thursday, and some 171s.  All 171s are already gone.

small boxes of 163 & 173's watcher's were sent out to a few folks. i would contact either jibij.com in colorado or autumn garage in utah. the rest, including 183's are arriving this week.

soo i suppose i obviously missed something... does this mean that, even though i pre-ordered 181 watchlifes from jibij, 183's are showing up at my door?  this is kinda unexpected...  the 181's were already on the long side for me, and now different dimensions that what i was expecting, too.  i'm kinda apprehensive now because i got some bluehouse mr's already and this ski overall is about as close as you can get to the same ski with respect to dimensions and length..  what happened to the '81's and those dimensions?  i'm realllly dissapointed...

2cm won't make any sort of difference, especially on a centermounted ski

plus the added width is great too

i see your point, but that's what i told myself about the 81's.  and now this ski is incredibly close to my other skis, where it wasn't so much beforehand.

I'm not really sure about this, but when I looked at the 173's they looked really wide for a 82 waist.. threw a ruler up to them and I got 87, maybe I wasn't paying attention.. and wasn't directly at the sidecut.. but I don't think thats the case.

Does this mean the 183's will in fact be 93 underfoot this year?
