Dynastar 2021 165 FIS Slalom
With Rockerace SPX15 Forza

Forza looks good. This ensures better performance... From Ebay Oh Canada.

It’s practically a fat ski. Should be good off road.

Meets the requirements.
-Round tip
-No hole in tip
-Black base: 90% ok. (has blue in front like top sheet)
I know, this is like, “must have windshield, wipers and four wheels” for a car. Fischer is doing it’s darndest to destroy it. Note- I love my Fischer, but it’s yellow base is slower than dirt. And the hole adds drag in powder and makes lots of noise on your shins in slush.
Bonus clincher-
Has a decent amount of edge.
Bonus karma-
Clement Noel just won the Zagreb slalom on a ski with the same top sheet graphic. Note I purchased before he won, which is why he won.

Clincher for Dynastar. Rossi and Volkl ok too. Maybe even Atomic, but I forget. Not ok- Blizzard 2020.

Hizo en España? Not Fabrique en France?

They look super cool; nice understated graphics and fun Pivots, oops, SPX. Just in time for spring skiing.

I finally got those Kuros back to my house, contrast pic with SL skis

 

[anders_nor]

hmm kuros looked like thoose recently on finn.no ?

 

[Uncle-A]

I didn't purchase anything buy I just saw that Renoun skis is having a Blemished Ski Sale. They say they get a two year warranty and the skis only have cosmic issues.

I bought them a couple of months ago, just took some time getting them home.
Found them on finn yes

 

[anders_nor]

I saw the ad then! killer deal!

 

[BMC]

And....added Lange XT 120 Free

(stock image)

Also for travel I have added Zipfit Gara liners. I’ll still use the factory liners where I intend to do more devoted AT.

I just got some from Canada too. The Forzas go well with this 2x4. @James, I thought you didn't like the Look heels and were looking to get out.

Well you’re stuck with Look with the plate.
I will say though, that the SPX 15 Rockerace heel is much better getting in. So far it’s a non factor thankfully. I think my other horror show is PX15?

Haven’t measured the edges, but it’s enough I think. The ‘20 Blizzard is visually like half that. Looks like it’s been raced for a season even 2. Same with my Fischer gs. Really annoying to have to think of dulling them and losing even more edge to a file by throwing them sideways on ice. Ridiculous. These things are expensive.

 

[tomahawkins]

Recused these little guys from a Play-It-Again in Seattle. Poor things were affixed with NX bindings. Cleaned them up and put on some Rockerace with my brake widening trick.

 

[VS_Power]

Got a Kastle MX99 with Tyrolia Attack2 bindings new from SkiEssentials for $500 shipped with tax

Still haven't ridden them because I'm probably not good enough and I love my Laser AXs anyway, but it was such a good deal I feel good about it

 

[PowHog]

Wanna play too .... still in the plastic wrap.

 

[GregK]

Got the Candide 1.0 to finish out my collection of the 2.0 and 3.0. Huge Spring deals on the skis and bindings.

When getting my bindings installed at Corbetts I played with a pair of flat 184cm Head eTitans that I was pondering along with the Deacon 84s before I got them. Was offered an insane deal on them and couldn’t say no. Lol
Hearing they might not offer without the system bindings next year as they didn’t sell that well flat. Still not in love with the system bindings of the Deacons-negative ramp and a pain to get out of.

Swapped out the black Attack 13 bindings I had installed for green Attack 16s on another pair pair of skis to add some weight to them. Look less “Dad like” with the green.

More..

 

[PowHog]

Found those on my doorstep yesterday .... Santa coming either early or late.

 

[Joby Graham]

Ordered these from SnowCountry this past Thursday at 10:00pm Netherlands time (after their close of business), and they appeared on my doorstep at 11:00 am this morning. Great service and an even better price.

 

[Ecimmortal]

A little late, and a little late in the season.

Next years Jeffery 118. Looks like I will top out at 2 days on them this season.

 

[Noodler]

I transformed my backup pair of Laser AX skis into these:

The 2021 Fischer The Curv GT

Wow... that's impressive. Did you do a lot of base and topsheet work, and have to order a bunch of stuff and use a press? Or are you actually magic?
