firstly, the CT 1/2/3 of 2021 can't be compared to any other year or model faction
3.0 of 2018/2019 etc was a softer friendly ski, 2020 it got a bit more agressive but weak/light core 2021 its got some umph and I have to say the 112mm 3.0 of 2021 will carve better than almost all 100mm! skis! (bold statement) No idea why and how, but it does.
First time out on them it was very firm/hard conditions, not really conditions for a 112... but hey wanted to try them out, and I would not only keep up with my friends carving 80mm's that day, I would not only keep up carving, but pass and pull ahead, while not realeasing edge! they would also not fold out on me (wtf)
I have since skied them in "skied out" conditons with crud, bumps, piles of shit, both in softer fresher snow, old snow and slush. It's my favorite ski to go "candide" on one of our smaller mogul fields and just go fast and jump them.
the 2021 CT 2.0/ 3.0 is not very well liked by the usual faction crowd it seems, but people who like to go fast, carve, just ski everywhere seem to like them, I did mount the 3.0 -1 or -1,5? I have to check my log. 2.0/3.0 of 2021 is not for the parkrats.
I have gotten @GregK to buy both the 3.0 and deacon 84 this season and he has gotten me to buy tons of skis...
