How about a cage match between the 2018 Blizzard Black Pearl in 88mm and the Fischer Ranger 89W?

It just occurred to me to ask, but I'll do more reading up on the latter. My Black Pearls are still doing it for me, but I've been hearing such good things about the new ones.
I had not seen this. I'll get on it.

I'd like to see a cage match with either the Meier Wild Bill and/or the Meier BIg Hoss would be. One's 98 underfoot and the other 104 or so. Not sure what a comparable ski would be.

We don't have a Meier connection, if they want to send us some to add, we would be glad to.

Three way: Nordica Enforcer Pro vs. Fischer Ranger 115 vs. Head Kore 117.

Not that I've had a single pow day this year, or anything. :(

As much as I like the idea of a three way, cage matches are one on ones (or tag teams).

Rules and policies on a forum full of ski gear junkies?!

There is wrong, and there is dead wrong!

Actually it is from experience. 30 years of working a ski wall, it usually comes down to an either/or...rarely three skis. The third option in usually dismissed early in the decision process.
