Had 2 great days on the 184cm CT 3.0 skiing then in the mornings and swapping to the Blackops 118 in the afternoons when things got really roughed up. Still find stability similar between them but the heavier, more damp Blackops definitely has the better suspension. Love them both!
Also had my CT 2.0 reground after hitting lots of things out west for a month. I did some p-Tex work on some spots and then my tech did 20 passes on the stone to remove almost all the smaller hits and scratches. Will hand tune them today.
On Monday, I was carving a soft groomer at speed and really laying them over. Was side by side an instructor on some Redsters turning at a similar pace for a bit while going down. Was in front of him as we met in the lift line and he said “you really have those GS turns locked down” and said “thanks, not bad for a 112mm wide twin tip” and he then looked down in huge surprise at my skis. Said to him “these skis don’t make sense how great they carve” and he said “no kidding! Wow!”
Hehe
Met up with my one friend that I sold a set of 183cm CT 1.0 too and he’s still loving them!
