Ski Selection Thread

[saltyant]

I told Steeze that a major announcement was pending. So here it is. The moment you've (i.e. Steeze) have all been waiting for.................

I took off work tomorrow to give them their inaugural run. It's too bad I can't test them on a true mountain. If only I had some kind of pass... you know, from a buddy, or something...

Thanks for all of the help guys. I'll keep you posted on what I ultimately decide. Greatly appreciate all of your help and guidance

Nah, that's sad. He's finished. No more one of a kind Elons. No more hunting for the best skis of his life. Now he's doomed to a boring winter of skiing on the same last season RTMs that nevertheless have to be religiously chained every time he has to go to a restroom.

Oh no. You just killed by stoke. These skis don't have 3D Glass like the 2018 model so I guess I'm done for.

What 3D Glass? That's old news. You missed the part how Kastles were pronounced as the Cadillacs of skis. So now it's LX vs MX dilemma. Oh wait, that's not for you. You're done for

Lol, ok? I swear to God I bought the skis. There's a picture. What more proof do you want? Suggest any method and I'll prove it.

Way to fucking short for skis you really down own yet. You are 6 feet tall for fucks sake.

I find it interesting how you on one hand remember what and how many people have said here, keep on asking quite often very naively for all sorts of advice, and on another filtered out all of that and came up with something to the contrary.

I'm posting definitive proof in a minute, but I am seriously and honestly confused by this. Which part did I filter out and go with something to the contrary?

This is the exact ski length and width I demoed and liked and took the advice of posters on here first and foremost, as well as the demo center professionals and ski shop that I purchased them from. The internet says that 170 length is an acceptable length for someone who is 6 foot.

170 length, 81 width.

Other numbers on the skis are 128/81/109   16,3

They also have 3D glass and 3D ridge so I think that's good...

I’m guessing photoshop.  There isn’t enough meta-data on that PNG file.

Are you quoting yourself as an expert?  Lame-o

Nope, I am quoting myself because that's what I posted I demoed and no one said anything that I recall. Honestly I don't know what I did to the contrary.

Who said 170 was right for you?

[saltyant]

Here you go Shadows.

I think for those skis 170s are fine..they have an aggressive sidecut..SandyAnus I suggest you invest in body armour and a full face helmet

Ski selfie or gtfo

You posted what you demoed, but demos are usually limited in size, so that's hardly an indication of anything. Then you were advised to buy something longer and wider, and you said that you could get the same from the local shop. So seeing 170 again was kind of surprising.

All y'all sound like a bunch of jealous haters.

Thanks Steeze. Shadows practically ruined my stoke level. I loved the ones I demoed and these are the exact same specifications. I bought both my Elans and RTMs from the same exact shop, a reputable dealer, and they would have never sold me 170's if they thought they were wrong for me. Otherwise if you guys think it's that big of a deal I can go argue with the guy and demand a refund.
