So sick! dumped around 15-30cm in Avoriaz/Morzine, France. Doing a season there!

First day that i have totally enjoyed skiing powder since i have only ever used symmetrical park skis in the stuff.

The NT's just stormed through everything i was totally amazed! They are so light. With FT booters and light bindings it defo did not feel like a 123mm under foot ski.

Basically they are the best and I might take them out 2mo even with out much Fresh POW!

Backseat! haha but as far as incredibly fat normal sidecut skis go I do want to try them.

This season for me is 202 Lotus 138s bitches!  Lightest of them all and p3wn everything but frozen chunder ice.  No pictures from November 21st/22nd, but they would just be waves of white anyways =D

Not that the PNW is getting any pow now though..just more rain. fuck.

Stevens Pass, since a ski area that is 3/4 trees is the obvious place to become an owner of some 202s.  You?

Got the 186cm with Tryolar peak 12 130mm break.

I am about 181cm tall, 165kg Ride Din 8.

Was a bit worried about the bindings but they are light and work well. Have not has any pre release problems as of yet. The skis are light for the size, the bindings are light and my FT's are light so the whole setup is pretty nimble!

Has another POW day yesterday and they where amazing again! They love to charge hard and fast! whoop
