Try the 177..if it feels short...185.Unfortunately no :-(
While I was on the lift today I was thinking about thread ideas and this came up. What skis have you been on that either have lived up to their hype and made you think, Day-um, these really are THAT good.
Enforcer, skied it today and my lust for it has carried over from last season.
Monster 88, solid and possibly the reference ski for frontside biased 88's
Nordica NRGy108, the best of both the Vagabond and El Capo
Head Rally, best of the Supoershape series for versatility without loosing what you expect from a hard snow ski.
Kastle MX, any of them. Timeless skis.
What are some of your skis that just stand out and and make you just .
There is your answer...185.Ok...one more ski for reference.
Use to ski the older model (2011) Mantra in a 177. Seemed a little short at times in the fluff.
Thx Phil...I know it's a personal preference thing.

There is your answer...185.
After Mantra-ing my way through weird 3-D snow for a couple of days last week I'm looking for something that is good at that.4frnt renegade best weird 3d snow ski made to this day.

Salomon STH2 13SOLD!
What a ski. I was surprised how much I liked it. Not as strong on the hard stuff as the Bonafide, but still quick edge to edge and the improved playfulness and strength in the fluff, mash potatoes, etc sealed the deal.
The 185 was perfect length as well. Thank you!
Already bought them. Called the store from the Tram after two runs and made the plunge.
One question - any reason I need to speed anothe $100 on a beefier marker Griffen that dials up to 16 din? It has more metal and just thought I may want a little more meat.
My Patron has the Griffon w/the 11/12 din. More plastic.
I set them at 10 generally.
Thx again. Woo hop, what a ski!
The original Bonafides.
ON3P Billy Goat - so much hype made me somewhat skeptical, now I'm adding to the hype. They're that good.
Another I would like to add to the list is the Apostle made by Rocky Mountain Underground. This ski actually reminds me of the QLab quite a bit. One thing that the Apostle really has going for it is the 5-point tip and tail design. Although it looks like a burly powder ski from a distance, the unique 5-point design makes the Apostle handle hardpack and even ice with the greatest of ease. Turn initiation is effortless with this ski. I'm not surprised that the Apostle has received numerous industry awards since its introduction to the RMU lineup.
