Greg the wife has me monitoring a CT1.0 prices now. Lol



probably strike when timing is right

she wants some too
Holy SHIT price drop today!!

Down to $261-$277 plus you can use your “mailing list” coupon code for another 15% off I think.
Just tried the code and down to $222 a pair.
Might be using a US middleman for some more 183cm! That’s insane prices!!!

Just bought 2 more CT 1.0 pairs of 183cm with a US address and it was giving me issues with credit card payment and noticed they were charging state tax of the receiving state. Used PayPal and was charged no tax and went through no problem!

Even with exchange and will have to pay for shipping to Canad that’s a crazy cheap price for these.

This thread is very bad for me.
You mean very GOOD for you! :roflmao:
Maybe only slightly bad for your bank account?

The reality is there is no ski like this made right now except for maybe the JSkis FFWD and it’s $769.00 US. And the CT 1.0 is more powerful, more stable with better edge grip. :huh:

@chasinghorizons
has the dictator 2 and 3 and loves them!
Yes I'm 5'1" and I was on 154 Rossignol Stargazers for a year (loved them!), then switched to 155 Dictator 2s. They instantly felt like an upgrade in almost every way - I felt like I found my soulmate ski. Super energetic & precise, really pops you out of a turn like a trampoline, and with really good stability (and damper than the Stargazers). I loved them so much I instantly bought the Dictator 3s (which have been a whole different experience, but ultimately still very good). Only thing is I've now gotten to the point where I want a longer length and I want to move the mount point forward (traditional requires too much of a forward driving stance). I have been waffling between the CT 1.0 in 165 and Dictator 2 in 163. New plan now is to try the CT 1.0s and if they don't cut it, I'll try to pick up the 163 Dictator/Dancer 2 at the end of next season and mount newschool.

So, ummm… should I add another pair to my existing stock?
Used Rock skis price right now. I’m sure I’ll end up selling a pair or two to buddies or people I meet on the hill. Can’t get the 183cm in Canada anymore.

Glad you grabbed a pair! Always thought they would be perfect for you!
At that price I don't take a big risk. Now, I just need to find cheap bindings. I usually prefer Pivot but they are not heavily discounted anymore (was looking for P12). I don't want to spend more in the bindings than in the skis so I could settle for red attack^^

Corbetts always has deals on Attack 13s but did see they had pivot 18s for $280 CAN I think.

I run a 8 din so the P18 is overkill. I just bought some P15 forza from bobleisure for $226 USD that will be a weird color match with the skis:ogbiggrin:

The 3.0x look awesome!!!

Can’t tell the price or size of the CT 3.0. What store were those at? Impossible to find the 184cm or 190cm anywhere anymore.
The size below 184 and 184. $599. Even though we told them that it was 2 years old, they wouldnt budge on price
