Mojoe Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just bumping this to the top. Spent the last few days riding here in Vermont. Not much snow anywhere this year, but there is coverage. I'm still on for this Saturday. Sounds like there will be quite a few people there, so this should be pretty fun.

Trouble Maker Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Might be in, just got some new boots yesterday, probably get skis friday. What are you wanting to get? I'll probably get the Line Prophet 90s, but I think I will wait until the summer. I'm going to get new boots too, but no idea on what to get.

I'm going to get new boots too, but no idea on what to get. I had some line mavericks last, line prophet 90s are on my short list, but I'm probably going to end up with some völkl bridge's. I'm in a solomon boot now, felt wayyy better than any nordica I tried. I am still in it be the first time out this season fml Hit me upp if u wanna carpool up there if u go. Ill hit u up bud for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I had some line mavericks last, line prophet 90s are on my short list, but I'm probably going to end up with some völkl bridge's. I might have to try and check them out. Although I did also demo the Volkl Kendo's, which are skinnier than both of those, and wasn't super impressed. IMHO I didn't think they turned/initiated as easily as the Prophet 90s despite being built pretty similar, and they are both skinnier than the Bridge's. I did ski the Kendo's in 180 and the Prophet 90's in 172, so it very well may have been that. I think I should be in low 170 length skis. Wish I could have tried the Kendo's in that length. I'm also not a big fan of aggressively rockered skis in Ohio, seems like too much for our conditions. Volkl says the Bidge's are 'fully rockered', whatever that means. Maybe a slight early rise on the tip or tail would be good. I rode the Rossi S3's last year and they were way too much ski for this hill. They had a petty aggressive rocker, and at 98mm underfoot are pretty close to the Bridge's. But if you've skied the Bridge's and like them, that's all that matters. What length are you look at?

I haven't skiied them. The rossi s3s look pretty insane, like you said, too much ski for ohio. They tried getting me in that one, and I'm not going for it. The bridge gets good review so I'm gonna go for it. Plus Id like to ski more moguls and it sounds like the rockered ski gives more points of contact throughout the the turn. I'm gonna be in like a 172, although they said they have an employee my height that skis em in like a 186. :no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 few more days... this whole warm weather better not of jacked up the base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 If it's a mud slide up there, I'm still going. Should be 50 on Saturday. I'm pretty sure they are making all they can with the cold temps to protect the base they do have. It's 22 out now, I drove by some no name place in NY and Brandy Wine tonight. Both were making snow.

Trouble Maker Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Still holding out for real snow. You live in Ohio, might as well end your life now instead of waiting to never get any real snow. We are supposed to get a little snow today and tonight, then 2-3 inches tomorrow night. You've lived with 2-3 inches your whole life, you should be ok with it by now. :fa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 What time is everyone planning to be there? My shift is 8-4 (hill opens at 9), so I will be there all day. I think Joe said he's planning to either leave here or get there around 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
