I know and mine are too long anyway! The 169cm 3.0x too long for her?

Yeah she is currently on Kenja 158 (156?) I’m afraid the 169 might be too hard for her in bumps

Will a 90mm brake work on a CT1.0 mounted at -3? Thx.

 

[anders_nor]

yes, no worries

 

[GregK]

Candide skiing the park with the 22 CT 3.0 so I will expect similar skiing to all those picking up the 21 versions……

Now the REAL question is - did ANY of you get the monoski?

 

[ScottB]

We are saving that for when the supreme leader pays us a visit

There’s a local at my hill who skis backseat with skis together like he’s Stein and he would probably do well on a mono!
Funny thing is he has a quiver of carving skis that never get carved….

Stein carved.

Exercise your sales genius?

 

[GregK]

Stein carved.

My local buddy, not so much…..lol

Didn’t know they went to new graphics this year. Thought it was the spaceman still.

Stein was a champion Alpine racer for years, lotsa wins. An elite recreational skier. He carved by a distinctive rotation, very fast, very sure-footed. Beautiful. On edge all the way. Hard to keep up with, for most; especially for anyone not straight-lining. (I skied with him a number of days, as we skied the same Ruthie's Run at Aspen one winter, for days in a row, same time each day.)

HIs skiing just stood out. Same as Candide's does now.

I actually like that graphic better than the spaceman

80s vibe which is perfect for a mono!

My buddy just has his skis close together and has that “pre-shaped ski” style that’s both A-no where’s close to the skill Stein has and B-not utilizing any of the advancements of all his modern skis. He backseat skids regardless of the ski he’s on.
We call him Elvis with his hip shaking ski technique! Lol

just bought the CT 1.0 in the 158cm (im not a tall guy). Pairing them with a set of attack 14s. pretty stoked to see how they perform after reading all these posts! I'm mostly skiing on the east coast, and gonna be using them as my "all mtn" sticks but primarily in the park. Im coming off a pair of 2019/2020 Line chronics which loved but were at times way too soft for tougher conditions, so the stiffer flex on the CT 1.0 is a big draw for me too. I am wondering though why i cant find this ski in many places online (i got the gray topsheet 1.0)?

CT 1.0s are DRASTICLY stiffer than chronic

Like most skis, the CT line gets stiffer as they get longer but the CT 1.0 of similar length is definitely stiffer tip/tail than the Chronic. The 158cm seems short unless you are around 5’2”/100lbs or so.
Know the Chronic started at 164cm so if you are 120lbs plus I’d be going the 165cm version of the CT 1.0. Even mounting -3cm for a more traditional skier, they are super easy to pivot and the longer length will be more stable.

Skis.com still have stock of the 21 CT 1.0 in all lengths at deals. Most places have the lighter 22 version in brown as they have sold out of the 21 versions.
