EDIT: yes i still sleep in the same room and bunk bed since i was 12 years old, i’m 28 now, yes i still love at home with my mom, i love her to death and i don’t know where i’d be without her. certainly not as in love with skiing as i am now! she is the one that made this hobby possible for me and i can’t thank her enough.

twonsarelliis there any particular brand that you're a fan of?
I loved my kartels too much that I just HAD to give scott more moneys lol. Skied on 4FRNTS for a few years before that because they rock too. I like supporting the brands that still have their fingers on the pulse of freeskiing ya know.

I miss my subtractions so much. Edge ripped out after hitting too much park in them which was a mistake. Jibbiest pow ski of all time.
That’s a hell of a jib ski haha. Sorry to hear of their demise. The subtractions and bodrums crush it in pow days but the talismans have a funny feel- they’re really reluctant to turn over. Not sure if I like them yet.

I've got the talismans, too. I think it's the lack of tail rocker. Skied them on some techy runs at bridger. They hold up but I gotta ski like 70% as fast as a regular daily. They're amazing for nose butters, but not as much tail butters.
That’s an interesting idea and I think you’re into something. It does feel like the tail is sort of pushing you forward into an understeer situation rather than rotating really easily like other skis would. In fact, my old scratch BCs have a very similar feel to them. I was hoping the talisman would be a good cruiser ski to replace the sequences, which were too soft for high speed resort riding and have been moved to tour duty with some lightweight dynafits. Thanks for the insights

Did a “catch and release” on a pair of Faction Prodigy 3.0 that were too soft and too light for my taste and swapped them out a longer version of CT 2.0 I loved.
So now I have 2 sizes of 2 CT skis and an unmounted backup pair of the 3rd. 🤦
Left to right
-190cm 2021 Moment Wildcat + Attack 13(Powder ski)
Finally got my final quiver for this year From left to right:
-My old volkls for street/grass skiing
- 170cm Armada arv 96 ti zero for crud and groomers
-164(I know) ct 1.0 as my jib/park ski
Finally my magnum opus, 2020 armada arv 116 jj 175 cm. I got pivot 15s to put on em and maybe put a cast system on there eventually if I don’t buy another set of skis for touring

Have had Pivots and SPX bindings in the past and like them but pay so little($120 US max) for the Attacks and I buy/sell so often and it’s easier sell with Attacks mounted.

I feel that, I’ve ridden markers and pivots and I like the pivots more for sure but I’m not sure how much of that is just my head
Just warrantied mine after 20 ski days and fortunately got my money back. Sidewall went plumpy and edge crackes in two places. Not a minor crack by any means.

My one ski for the season. Hopefully these top sheets hold up better than the crappy ones on my 2019 Marksman's.
bc camox: might remount this season, actually really liked it
prodigy 3.0: daily driver basically
candide 4.0: deep days, probably my most favourite ski ever
4frnt raven: just mounted, touring setup
self made fishtail: used to be a sample '21 candide 2.0 which i bought for 5 bucks and some beer
what do you think about the revolt 104? I am thinking about getting the revolt 104 or the reckoner 102, but I guess i will take the reckoner because its way lighter and I want to put a shift binding on the reckoner maybe :)

How’s that working out with the fishtail? Pretty damn cool

chills__Thanks! I've never ridden anything close to this wide so it'll be a learning experience
BC/AB is getting a crazy amount of snow already so should be able to test them out this weekend
Yeah dawg it’s nuts the amount of snow, I bought a pair of mind bender 116 and the widest I’ve ever owned before was 108 so I’m hyped to try it on Friday at sunshine
Those look super shreddy! Are you doin the 1-ski thing for any particular reason or just as an attempt to be economical? What size park ski would you normally shred if you were to have a pair more dedicated to the jibby biz?

Let me know how it is! I'm gonna try to go to Sunshine on Sunday. Tomorrow will be insane since the resorts been closed for 2 days
thanks man, i just finished it a couple of days ago and have yet to ski it! but i think since the cutout is only in the rockered part of the tails, i dont think you'll feel a difference, probably made it worse at most haha
SavageBiffHow’s that working out with the fishtail? Pretty damn cool
Well it still looks really cool, especially all black

Thanks! I had wanted to get a ski that I could do practically everything on and get really used to. The skis a 184, if I were to get a proper jib ski I’d get 180-184. I’m 5’11 for reference.
Did you seal it off somehow after cutting as I can’t tell from the pic?
Cheaper than buying a new pair of Black Crow Mirus Cor or Sakanas! Haha
hahah yeah way cheaper, poor mans mirus cor
i used some layers of epoxy glue (at least that's what it's called in german) to seal it, lets see how it holds up
