maaatttAny momentheads skiing Mt Baker? Resort, not bc

I want to get down there sometime. Living in Vancouver it's a relatively easy day trip. I'll have to keep an eye on conditions this spring.

I know that most moment offerings will do just fine as the snow isn't all that different from the Sierras, but want to know what frequent Baker skiers are using

I ride the deathwish 112 at Cypress and occasionally Whistler, I think the snow packs are pretty consistent between those places and Baker. Typically higher moisture content than Sierras but not a lot different. The skis rip in the fresh, slush, lumpy crud, mashed potatoes. They're fine on the firmer rain crust and refreeze hardpack type stuff but don't carve it up like a narrower more cambered ski could potentially.

Have you had to a chance to try the 104? The places where the 112 is just fine is where the 104 really shines.

A while ago some goon was ripping tele on the moment blades. He was passing through with the demo event where I tried some moments. Lowkey might get a tele setup for this season if I cant figure out my boot pain. Heel absolutely killing me so driving the front of the ski and buttering hurts. Will size down first and if that dosn't help I'm stuck to tele.

I love 686 stuff, just never thought I'd be featured in their emails.

The tester program (forget what they call it) is sweet if you can get in.

I know Sierra.com sometimes has titles mixed up but this seems very specific and is repeated through the description.
