These are my everyday skis,
-Armada JJ UL for pow and backcountry
-Armada ARV 96 ti for resort
plus a pair of rock skis, a couple race skis that I know that none of you care about and a pair of tandem skis
Here are the Tandem Skis. Old pair of 191 Volkl Mantaras with some old Salomon Driver Bindings. I made them for the pond Skim at Mt bachelor a couple years ago and ended up getting across the pond and winning the comp with my buddy
Dude!! I remember seeing that! What year was that. I think I have the footy in one of my Pond Skim videos.

galardogodThe ARV Ti is the best ski I have ridden
I completely agree. Pretty disappointed they were discontinued for 2021, I wanna pick up another pair before they become impossible to find in a few years. Not enough companies make stiff and powerful skis that are still playful like the ARV ti
anders_aSold a few, also bought a few more on sale, mostly done touring lately and walked up in the park until it melted away, guessing its the same for most of you guys. Summer ski resorts will open soon, also our indoor resort just opened so I can ski park again.
Always open for suggestions for new additions, been looking at sakana, pescado, marksman and chronic, all are on sale here now at 50%

did you ride the white candide 3's yet, if so what they like compared to the red ones from the year before?

Cheers bud
Ive ridden both, i def like the new 3s more, although hold off on the 2020s; almost all of them will snap if you mount pivots due to the factory fucking them up, there shouldve been a recal imo. new 3s have more energy, and want to GO way more than the old ones, and they feel just as nimble despite being wider.
I love the 19 3.0s, I have not been on the 2020s yet, to many skis not enough time. the 3.0 are surprisingly good, even on hard groomed/ice, you can go 60mph sending it off a roller, and it just feels nice
they will rock jesters, with binding freedom inserts though, hopefully that helps the 2020s

I agree, the new redesign when they changed it back to 112 it’s way better. I didn’t personally have any durability issues and I rode mine everywhere. I did some touring some resort, mostly groomer and park days and they held up great. The 20/21 ski has a new core that’s a little heavier but a little more durable and has an even higher speed limit so absolutely cop if you’re looking at one and you like the old skis
CrunnchyVanManthis is what you call the last minute low budget COVID backcountry setup
have this exact same bc set up and its great on the downhill, reliable as hell and fun in any conditions because of the stiffness and shape of the ski, but heavy as shit on the uphill

Fuck yea, I live in the midwest and I daily them, they just handle so good on everything and I feel like a badass rocking 121's on my local hill when everyone rides rentals or Line's... you rly gotta work harder to earn the turns tho
safarisamThinned my quiver, down to three pairs until I get the tele setup
YES! Join the cult, dance when you ski, do lunges, get in the flow! Thinning my quiver is exactly what I said before I got my telemark setup
I've got a pair of 22D Axl bindings and Scarpa T-Race shell size 26.5/27 with a couple liners that didn't work out for me that I am willing to sell for cheap
anders_aIts interesting to see americans talking telemark skiiing, I used to do it for about 15 years or so, but my knees just dont like it anymore.
Telemark is blowing up in MT. I was ripping around on alpine with my friend who telemarks for like 4 years until he finally convinced me to try it, and then I gained so much respect for his ability to keep up with me when I was on alpine

Been looking for a setup since last year, hoping to find a 24.5 boot soon
safarisamBeen looking for a setup since last year, hoping to find a 24.5 boot soon
Damn, I think I'm trying to get rid of my Axls for like $150, but they are a large and the smallest boot they will do is a 26.
I think if you aren't certain that you will like Telemark, go 75mm, and definitely go for 22D bindings or BMF (I think I saw a pair of BMFs at Second Wind recently, but no tour mode). Don't even bother with BD and I'd only reccomend the older G3 Targa or similar bindings if you are looking for more of a fuckaround setup. But if you are pretty confident that it's gonna be your jam there's no harm in jumping straight to a NTN setup though. It was insane how much more in connected to the ski I felt with NTN. Avoid the first version of the 22D Outlaw if you are looking for used stuff.
Highly recommend puttin on some tunes and just dancin around on groomers only for a few days by yourself to get the basics and form down. Don't fall into the trap of riding with your friends and doing the whole trial by fire thing where you are making alpine turns most of the time to try and keep up. Even better if you can convince another friend to join the cult too

I’ve always wanted to try tele too shit is so cool. There’s a guy at Sunday River that can carve switch on tele skis better than I can carve going forwards and that honestly inspired me to try it. Any recommendations on breaking into it? Maybe take a lesson or something?
